Dear Gabe,
When a Sanyasi takes vows and dons saffron robes, it is symbolic of
fire, of cremation. When life does depart, the Sanyasi's mortal remains
are not cremated a second time. They are interred.
That's something I learnt in childhood -- and I hope I am not wrong!
Regards, v

....since, according to media reports he was interred. Is burial a higher
form? Over here in England many Catholics are opting for cremation.
