What is Vanaprastha / Karma Sanyasa ?
Vanaprastha Sanyasa is a state of consciousness and a lifestyle. It is not only about renunciation as most understand it or a rejection of life. It is rather about accepting the real meaning and purpose of human life. This course will teach you how to sublimate and liberate Karma and desires through higher consciousness. Sanyasa is all about walking into reality and experiencing one’s own Self. Self is represented here as Atman.
Many think that as per scriptures one will only take Sanyasa Diksha when one is completely free from all desires and karma, but this is actually not possible and never really happens this way. If you are free from all desires, naturally you are liberated .Then there is no need to take any types of Sanyasa . Taking any level of Sanyasa is adopting a lifestyle which gives you great opportunity to free yourselve from desires in order to attain Enlightenment and Freedom. On this path, one may gradually proceed from Vanaprastha to Yogic / Karma Sanyasa and finally to Jnana Sanyasa.
Although you are going to receive teachings about various types of Sanyasa lifestyles, it does not mean that we expect you to adopt or accept any specific way of life at the end of this course. Our intention is to give you the opportunity to know more about Sanyasa, to experience many aspects of it and decide for yourself if it fits you.
