What does ASRAMA mean in Scrabble?
noun
Any of the four traditional stages of life in Hindu thought, moving from student life through household duties to withdrawal and renunciation.
Traditional Hindu teaching divides an ideal life into four stages, or asrama, beginning with years devoted to study, followed by a stage of marriage and household responsibility, then a period of gradual withdrawal from worldly affairs, and finally a stage of renunciation and spiritual focus. Each asrama carries its own duties and expectations, so a person is judged partly by how well they fulfill the demands of their current stage of life. The same word is also used, especially in its variant spelling ashram, for a hermitage or retreat where a teacher and students live and study together. Because the concept comes from Sanskrit religious and philosophical texts, asrama appears mainly in writing about Hindu tradition and Indian philosophy.
