Stages of life

To be managed efficiently, each organisation is divided into departments.
Even the houses and many other places have sections or compartments.
In Hindu's mythology, the human age is also divided in four vital parts.
Those're childhood or student life, household, retired, renounced life, marked.

One can manage the life well; of twenty five years each, first three sections
and the fourth till end of the life; for one phase to the other's transition.
The middle part is like sandwich filler, that is to give the real taste of life,
one remains free of responsibilities below twenty five and above seventy five.

The second phase carries married life, household, raising family, social relations
and in third phase, one passes gradually, the responsibilities to next generation.
The last phase is renunciation of material desires and focus the life to salvation;
not necessarily by going to shrine or ashram, even living in family association.

Brahmcharya, Grihasth, Vanprastha and Sanyas are the four stages of life,
to place emphasis on the proper goals of life, finally reach to God stage-wise.


Brahmacharya  =  student life, Grihastha  =  household life, Vanprastha  =  retired life
Sanyasa  =  renounced life


Life is divided into four stages of age
for its easy and efficient management.
Just like the organisational departments
to facilitate the functional arrangement.

First three bear each twenty five years
and the fourth one, till the life ends.
The middle two are filler of a sandwich,
first and last are the covering breads.

Second phase carries the married life,
house hold, family and social relations.
Third phase is to pass on gradually,
responsibilities to the next generation.

First is the childhood and student life,
free from much of the social botherations.
Last phase is renunciation of material desires
and focus the life to God and salvation.
