Sannyasi
A Sannyasi is a person who has renounced worldly life and material possessions to pursue spiritual goals. This practice is rooted in Hinduism, where individuals seek to attain self-realization and liberation from the cycle of birth and death, known as samsara. Sannyasis often live a life of simplicity, meditation, and devotion, focusing on spiritual practices.
In the context of Hindu philosophy, a Sannyasi may follow the teachings of various spiritual texts, including the Bhagavad Gita and the Upanishads. They typically wear simple clothing, often orange or saffron robes, symbolizing their renunciation. Sannyasis may also travel to sacred places, sharing their wisdom and experiences with others.
