INDIA: The Purpose of Life: “With Swamiji there is no such thing as idle chatter; he talks of the impermanence of the body and the purpose of life — attaining spiritual enlightenment to avoid samsara (endless rebirth). He reminds me that when I die nothing will go with me; I will have to leave everything behind, except the accumulated spiritual wealth of my personal sadhana [meditation practice].”

“In conversation with Swamiji, he suddenly bursts out enthusiastically with ‘Brahmamuhurta!’ This, I learn, is the time between 3.00 AM and 6.00 AM known as the most favourable time for Sadhana (one’s spiritual practices). During Brahmamuhurta, so called as it is considered the most auspicious time for meditating on Brahman (God), the mind is calm and less engaged with worldly thoughts, worries and anxieties. Also the atmospheric energy during this time is more charged with sattva (purity), increasing the likelihood one’s practice will go deeper, with the corresponding health and well-being benefits.” (Glimpses Into Sant Mat Ashram Life: Rishikesh, Sanctuary of Sadhus, Sages and the Occasional Enlightened Master)

EGYPT: Members of the Therapeutae order wore white like some Sikhs and Sufis: “…and being clothed in tunics of the most delicate texture, and of the purest white…” (Philo of Alexandria) In the case of most Gnostic groups, and the Jewish Essene sect, we only know them through their writings — their teachings, not much else. In the case of the Therapeutae no collections of their writings have ever been found, but through Philo of Alexandria we have a fairly detailed description of their daily life and weekly format of worship.

Shri Premanand Govind Sharan Ji Maharaj, whose birth name was Aniruddh Kumar Pandey on 30 March 1969, is a revered saint and Bhagwat Katha reciter from Vrindavan. He is a part of the Radha Vallabh Sampradaya, a spiritual tradition centered on intense devotion to Radha and Krishna.

He was born in a religious Brahmin family in the neighborhood of Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh. Right from early childhood, he was drawn towards a simple and devout life. He was only 13 years old when he left home to adopt the path of brahmacharya (celibacy) and subsequently sanyas (renunciation). He stayed on the banks of the Ganga River for a while, doing spiritual exercises and devoting himself to devotion.

Una Ashrama (āśrama), nell’induismo, è una delle quattro fasi della vita, in base all’età, discussa nei testi antichi e medievali indiani.Le quattro ashrama sono: Brahmācarya (studente fino a 24 anni), Grihastha (padre di famiglia da 24 a 48 anni), Vanaprastha (ritirato da 48 a 72 anni) e Saṃnyāsa (rinuncia da 72 anni in poi).
