From Actor to Sanyasi: My Journey of Self-Discovery and Responsibility

I did not picture myself on becoming a sanyasi.
It does sound so banal to say and surrealistic, coz this seems to be my life’s statement at every crucial point
In early 90’s When I become an actor , my life’s statement was,
“ I had never thought of becoming an actor..but I am an actor now.”

2011:
I am an initiated Hindu monk
I believed I was a progressive person
Sanyas taught me, I was warped in my hypocritical selfish meaning of progressiveness
I believed I was a feminist
Sanyas taught me , I wasn’t a feminist, I was a misandryst
Sanyas is peeling layers and layers of selfishness
Sanyas reveals to you “feeling hurt” is selfish and the root of all violence.
If human beings thrive I challenge, Sanyas is the journey for life
Life is not about the cars, we own, or awards we win,
Its all about the value proposition we have in people’s life.
Its all about the responsibility we have for people in our life.
Responsibilism without an iota of selfishness: Is the journey of a Sanyasi

Sanyas is The vocation
The fire in the underbelly, to do something
Why Sanyas:
Sanyas teaches you to practice and live he highest of human principles

Where does confidence come from ?
How you look ?
Life choices we make defines who we are
Sanyas is my life’s journey
Sanyas is My choice.
This unique journey
The journey which needs courage
Courage to break from the the “norm”
Courage to delve deep in your self
Courage to stand steadfast, unswervingly, for the highest principles of life with selfless integrity, non violence { Ahimsa}
Courage to stand up again and again, and again no matter how many times we fall:
Sanyas is: epic rebirth

Sanyas is not about detachment to family and friends, its all about expanding our inner space, without ego or pain or hurt or even a slight whimper and relate to the the whole world as your own reflections.
Sanyas has taught me that Journey of Life without The Guru in life, is life living on barren land.
