Guest guest Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Please visit the website: www.ramakrishnamath.com The following information is available: " Liberation for Oneself and Service to Mankind " B E C O M E A M O N K What is Monasticism? Monasticism is living life in preparation for or under religious vows. The goal of life in the view of Vedanta is to realize our true nature as one with God. Each person must decide what lifestyle will best enable him or her to work efficiently and sincerely toward this goal. The path of the lay person usually involves married life. The individuals within the family strive to serve God in each other. Lay people serve society by raising children with sound values and by contributing through their work life. They must juggle the priorities of job, family, and spiritual life and incorporate their spiritual practice into their jobs and family lives. The path of the monastic involves renouncing the pleasures of family life and adopting vows of celibacy in order to be able to give more focus directly to spiritual practices. Many spiritual traditions have monastics, including Hindu, Buddhist, and Christian. In the tradition of the Ramakrishna Order the purpose of monastic life is to work out one's own liberation and to train oneself to do good to the world, along the lines laid down by Sri Ramakrishna, Sri Sarada Devi and Swami Vivekananda Requirements to become a Monastic Applicants must be under 30 years of age, have at least a degree, be reasonably healthy and pass a physical exam. Absolute celibacy, obedience to seniors and readiness to practise all the 4 yogas as depicted by Swami Vivekananda either singly or totally according to the circumstances he is placed in, are required. Those who are desirous of joining may contact any of the Ramakrishna Centres either in India or abroad. I suggest that you visit the Ramakrishna Math branch and talk to Swamijis or send e mail to them for guidance.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 I think this is the qeustion should be posted to your inner heart... what does it say? Please follow that. If you simply wish to become Brahmacharya, inspired by only some particular aspect of Brahmacharya, or some particular aspect of person those who became Brahmacharya already.. that would not help much... Your inner heart should say you are full fit for Brahmacharya.. and you should strongly believe that without any distraction... Having doubt about yourself..and not believing yourself would not help much... As Swami Vivekananda says, If you would like to achieve something... start think about that .. dig into that.. and feel as if you achieved that goal already... That is the way you achieve the goal. From someone I heard that Swami Vivekananda thought himself as Lord Shiva. By that way he could achieve his firm Brahmacharya... All the best...
