Guest guest Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 Namaste, Can anyone explain the difference between sanyasin, bramachari, and priest under Amma? Can one be a priest and not be a sanyasin? I read that sanyasins in Amma's ashram are celibates and live with her, but I know that Hindu priests can be householders as well. I guess I'm wondering if someone can go there and train to be a priest, then return to the "world" and be a householder and priest-on-demand in their community. Is bramachari a higher, graduated form of sanyasin? I guess they practice total renunciation as opposed to sanyasins who are celibate students... Thanks to anyone who can help.
