It is a common term in India for a renounced ascetic or [[yoga|yogi]] who has given up pursuit of the first three Hindu goals of life: [[kama]] (pleasure), [[artha]] (wealth and power) and even [[dharma]] (duty), solely dedicated to achieving [[moksha]] (liberation) through meditation and contemplation of God. | ||
