Sannyasa: Renounce worldly life, monastic spiritual pursuit in Hinduism
Sannyasa, sometimes spelled sanyasa, is the fourth stage within the Hindu system of four life stages known as ashramas, the first three being brahmacharya, grihastha (householder) and vanaprastha. Sannyasa is traditionally conceptualized for men or women in the last years of their life, but young brahmacharis have the choice to skip the householder and retirement stages, renounce worldly and materialistic pursuits and dedicate their lives to spiritual pursuits.
