sannyasiIn Hinduism, one who renounces all ties with family and society and pursues spiritual liberation. Sannyasis are a class of sadhu that do not live in communities, instead leading a mendicant, itinerant life. Those recognized as having achieved full self-knowledge are considered free of all worldly rules and duties, including those pertaining to caste, and are not required to carry out image worship or offerings. After death, their bodies, rather than being cremated, are buried in a seated, meditative posture. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

No references found | Even though the term sannyasin refers to a spiritual seeker who renounces worldly desires, and includes the vow of celibacy, Rajneesh flaunted traditional Hinduism and encouraged his devotees to express their emotions and embrace desires. They passed the night without food, and in the morning the king and the Sannyasin showed the princess the way, and she went back to her father. The princess of the country to which our king and the Sannyasin had come was having one of these interesting ceremonies. |
