When a Vaiṣṇava *sannyāsī* meets another Vaiṣṇava *sannyāsī,* they both remember Kṛṣṇa. Even Māyāvādī *sannyāsīs* generally remember Nārāyaṇa, who is also Kṛṣṇa, by saying *oṁ namo bhagavate nārāyaṇa* or *namo nārāyaṇa.* Thus it is the duty of a *sannyāsī* to remember Kṛṣṇa. According to *smṛti-śāstra,* a *sannyāsī* does not offer obeisances or blessings to anyone. it is said, *sannyāsī nirāśīr nirnamaṣkriyaḥ:* a *sannyāsī* should not offer anyone blessings or obeisances.
