ashram (sh)




or ashrama

In Hinduism, any of the four stages of life through which a "twice-born" (see upanayana) Hindu ideally will pass.

These stages are: the student, who is devoted and obedient to his teacher; the householder, who supports his family and the priests and fulfills duties to the gods and ancestors; the hermit, who withdraws from society to pursue ascetic and yogic practices; and the homeless mendicant, who renounces all possessions and wanders from place to place begging for Food. In English the word has come to mean a place for the pursuit of spiritual or religious disciplines, often under a guru.
