Kudos to this young man. Not doing what everyone expects of you is not easy. He has worked hard and excelled and deserves the right to choose his own path. I am sure that he will be a a great monk in his chosen religion.
That will be a tough road to walk. I wish him the best.

Thai monks roll a little differently:
When you’re a monk,
You’re a monk all the way
From your first cigarette
To your last dyin’ day.
Interesting. The Jain religion has always been a minority in India, but their principles have been very influential on the majority. I have read that, to the extent that the Hindu religion embraces nonviolence, it was under the influence of Jain belief.
I wish the young man peace and enlightenment.
Why did you stop dancing?
Jain monk. He’s a good test taker and a bad discerner of the weaknesses of Hinduism. More than one God? Yeah, right. As if God is physical. Impossible. Jains were updated by Buddha in the 4th B.C. So joining a Buddhist monastery would be a step up from the Jains.
