While defining a sannyasin is beyond impossible, a sannyasin may be categorised as simply a seeker for truth. There are many qualities to this, including but not limited to the following:

​

• Sannyas is a living rebellion.

​

• It’s an initiation into freedom. You are not only free, but you are also freedom.

​

• A sannyasin is someone who renounces all worldly thoughts and desires, and spends the rest of his/her life in spiritual contemplation.

​

• A sannyasin will be a totally unique person: someone who lives more and more in alertness, existing through awareness.

​

• The sannyas life represents a new beginning where you are free to be yourself. One where you are not constrained, crippled, paralysed, or repressed to made to feel guilty.

​

• A sannyasin is open to experience. Carrying his/her own experiences and not beliefs.

​

• A sannyasin trusts his/her own organism: accepting him/herself and others.

​

• A sannyasin brings beauty and joy into this world through his/her own creativity.

​

• He/she has a sense of humour, laughter, playfulness and non-serious sincerity.

​

• Sannyasins have a quality of meditativeness and aloneness. They can be happy alone and are no longer dependent on others

​

• A sannyasin is insightful through their meditation, which is rooted in that awareness where thoughts are not found.

​

• A sannyasin remains liquid and never becomes definable.

​

To receive sannyas is a decision to rebel. To go inwards. Bloom into the flower of sannyas. To be who you are. Unique. Beautiful. Boundless.
