Ashrama

Ashrama refers to the four stages of life in Hindu philosophy, outlining the spiritual and social responsibilities individuals should follow. These stages are: 1. **Brahmacharya** (Student life) - focusing on education and discipline. 2. **Grihastha** (Householder life) - embracing family life, work, and community responsibilities. 3. **Vanaprastha** (Hermit stage) - gradually withdrawing from worldly duties to reflect and prepare for spirituality. 4. **Sannyasa** (Renounced life) - detaching from material possessions and focusing on spiritual liberation. Together, these stages help guide individuals toward a balanced and meaningful life.
