Sannyasa is a spiritual practice in Hinduism that involves renouncing worldly attachments and desires to pursue a life of meditation and self-realization. Individuals who take on this path, known as sannyasis, often wear simple clothing and may live in solitude or in communities dedicated to spiritual growth. The goal is to attain liberation, or moksha, from the cycle of birth and death. The practice of sannyasa is rooted in ancient texts, including the Bhagavad Gita and the Upanishads. It emphasizes the importance of detachment from material possessions and social obligations, allowing practitioners to focus on their inner spiritual journey. Sannyasa is considered one of the four stages of life, or ashramas, in Hindu philosophy.
