Guest guest Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Sat Nam! I'm here asking for your help about two words i'm not able to understand (i'd like to know english better). I've found a quote where there are some differences between "renunciate yogis" and "householder yogis". I suppose "renunciate yogis" are those yogis detached from daily life (ascetic ones), am i right? ....and, what is a "householder yogi"? Can you explain me the meaning of the word "houseolder"? Thank you all in advance :-) AC Sujan Singh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 "Householder yogis" are those who live "in the world" and have families, jobs, go to school--like most people--and who also practice yoga . Some householders adhere to many of the same vows that renunciants do. The "renunciate yogis" are like monks and nuns in other religious traditions; some of them might live in ashrams, some in a cave in the mountains or in the forest. They do not marry and their "job" might be to help the rest of us learn yoga and find enlightenment. I hope this helps.
