Sannyasa Lifestyle

Sannyasa Lifestyle provides an experiential insight into the traditions and teachings of sannyasa. The training allows participants to develop an understanding of how the ideals of sannyasa can be applied and lived in everyday life, to attain greater creativity, efficiency, clarity and harmony in all that one undertakes.

The path of sannyasa is steeped in the ancient spiritual traditions, yet the wisdom of the ages is today becoming a forgotten heritage. In the modern world, few aspirants are able to devote themselves to sannyasa in its traditional form. For those who wish to live and participate in society, yet side by side, develop an awareness of their spiritual nature, the Sannyasa Lifestyle is offered.

This glimpse into sannyasa life emphasizes the practical and experiential systems of sannyasa which will include sahayoga, coming together to achieve, seva, action imbued with love, sadhana, the process of transformation, swadhyaya, the path of self-correction, sanyam, the cultivation of moment to moment awareness, and samarpan, connecting to the luminosity within. The aspirant is not required to renounce society permanently. However, a sincere commitment is required to sustain the full duration of the training. The training is residential, conducted in isolation from the material influences in society, in order that the aspirant has an opportunity to imbibe the spiritual principles and learn how to express these in daily life.

Sincere effort is needed to overcome selfish constraints and limitations, follow the spiritual precepts and integrate one’s faculties and personality, and the commitment to one’s sankalpa or resolve must be strong. For people with this understanding, the Sannyasa Lifestyle presents a unique opportunity to develop the inner potentials, wisdom and independent ability to make a positive contribution to humanity.

The daily schedule will be rigorous and challenging from 5:00 am in the morning until 8:00pm at night. Indian nationals aged 18-55, of strong physical, mental and emotional character, who can face challenges and difficulties with faith, charity and a positive attitude should apply. Only applicants who are of sound health will be considered.

This is an optimum time to devote oneself to spiritual growth and development. In order to truly imbibe the sannyasa ideals, it is necessary for participants to retreat from society and social media, phone and contact for the duration of the training.
