| | Tonsures at Tirupati, - Chapter 26 of `Tirupati Balaji was a Buddhist Shrine,' By Dr. K. Jamanadas [Chapter 26] |
 | | Tonsures at Tirupati, - Chapter 26 of `Tirupati Balaji was a Buddhist Shrine,' By Dr. K. | | | As a matter of fact Nathism is considered by scholars as a corrupt from of Buddhism and believed to have originated from Buddhist Nikayas during the general decline of Buddhism. | | | Therefore, the traditional custom of tonsures performed at Tirumalai as religious ceremony can not be viewed upon as a custom of the Brahmanic religion, and as it is an unique and important part of worship at Tirupati, the shrine at Tirumalai could not have been a Brahmanic centre in olden days. |

| | Tonsure |
| | Historically the tonsure was not in use in the primitive Church during the age of persecution. | | | As a sacred rite, the tonsure was originally joined to the first ordination received, as in the Greek Church it still is to the order of lector. | | | A sacred rite instituted by the Church by which a baptized and confirmed Christian is received into the clerical order by the shearing of his hair and the investment with the surplice. |

| | The tonsure is not a real order — that is, it confers no specific sacred power to the person who receives it — but it is a ceremony by which the Church marks off from the rest of the faithful those whom she calls to the service of the altar. | | | The prayers, which accompany the rite of the tonsure, are an admirable explanation of the ceremony, as well as a most eloquent exposition of the mind of the Church regarding the dispositions, which she expects to find in those who seek to be enrolled in the ranks of her ministers. | | | Canon Law distinguishes the clergy into two classes, the secular and the regular clergy &; that is, those who live in the world, who are in charge of parishes and so forth, and those who live in community and are bound in some way or other by vows of religion. |

| | The Tonsure - The Clerical Haircut |
| | Tonsure is not an order, since no office and no spiritual power is conferred by it. | | | As in the Old Testament the Levites were supported by the rest of the people by the payment of tithes, first fruits, and a definite share of the sacrifices, so priests are supported by the faithful, the chosen people of the New Testament. | | | In this form the tonsure is still worn by members of some religious orders. |

| | The Tonsure |
| | The Imposition of the Tonsure is not a sacred rite, but a simple ceremony instituted by the Church to officially introduce to the ministry those whom God calls to the Priesthood (CANON 973). | | | AMEN."After this speech and blessing, the Tonsured ones led by the Archdeacon retire to their place, then the Bishop reads the first Collect, if it is extemporaneous after the Kyrie (or the Gloria in Excelcis, when there is one, he proceeds to the Ordination of the PORTERS. | | | The Bishop vests each one who has received the Tonsure in a Surplice saying: "That the Lord dresses you as a new man (Le Nouvel Homme) who has been created in Justice and in true Holiness". |

| | Summa Theologica |
| | I answer that, Clerics by receiving the tonsure, do not renounce their patrimony or other temporalities; since the possession of earthly things is not contrary to the Divine worship to which clerics are appointed, although excessive care for such things is; for as Gregory says (Moral. | | | Reply to Objection 1: The tonsure has some spiritual thing inwardly corresponding to it, as signate corresponds to sign; but this is not a spiritual power. | | | Now in the Divine worship are certain actions that have to be exercised by virtue of certain definite powers, and for this purpose the spiritual power of order is given; while other actions are performed by the whole body of ministers in common, for instance the recital of the Divine praises. |
