Purvashrama
Purvashrama ( sa, पूर्वाश्रम, ), is a term used with reference to Sanyasis. It refers to the ''ashrama'' (stage of life) of a Sannyasi, before he is initiated into Sannyasa (renunciation). The word is also used to address family relationships before taking vows of Sanyasis (example - purvashrama father). This is to give emphasis to the nature of poorna-sannyas (complete sannyas) phase, where the pre-monastic life family relationships cease to be considered cosmically binding.
