Question

Describe the long journey of man’s life through four Ashrams according to the Vedic tradition

Answer 1

Answer :

Four Ashramas of Vedic Life: Stages of Life in Realising the Hindu Ideal of Life!

Ashramas are the stages of life which provide training and environment for realising the ideal of our life. There are four ashramas in all: Brahmacharya (student life), Garhasthya (family life), Vanaprastha (retired life), and Sannyasa (life of renunciation). The first two provide the train­ing and environment for the Pravrtti Marg and the last two for the Nivrtti Marg of development.

Each stage has its own specific duties (Vishesha Dharmas). We will discuss the duties of a garhasthi (householder), a student (Brahmacharin), a retired person, and a renunciated person separately. Just as ashramas refer to specific duties in life, varnas refer to duties related to the four professional roles in life: the profession of scholarship, of de­fence and administration, of production and distribution, and of unskilled labour. Thus, along with ashramas, we will analyse the varnas too.
