Sanyasa

Sanyasa (pronounced sanyaas) symbolises the conception of the mystic life in Hinduism where a person is now integrated into the spiritual world after wholly giving up material life. One who walks this path is known as a sannyasi, sannyasin or sanyasi. The sanyasi lives without possessions, practices yoga meditation and prays to his/her conception of God in the hopes of ultimately achieving samadhi (enlightenment) and, subsequently, moksha (liberation).
