Including married ones, unmarried ones better skip the Grihastha and double promote to Sanyasa.
Sanyasa should be understood in the correct perspective.
In current day terms of Internet technologies it is called "Unsubscribe" to the body and keep bodily activities just enough to keep it alive for its current purpose (what ever it may be including working at a corporate to support the deemed family of the body). Unsubscribe does not mean giving up the activity but the keen interest to excel in anything except KC. It is a very thin line. The second you go after anything in MC (material consciousness), you unsubscribe from Sanyasa. Even if you are in a jungle trying to achieve samadhi but if your mind lingers around your so called unfinished works in MC, you have never subscribed to sanyasa.
This process of subscription and un subscription goes on till your genuine intentions are constantly hampered by latencies of MC and you beg for His Divine Intervention.
Send a mail to this effect to anyone who is your spiritual guide in all your sincerity with freverent prayers.
Divine Help and Intervention will hit your existence the way lightening strikes and you will be a sanyas even amidst your deemed family and corporate existence overnight.
It will even negate you of bodily latencies of traces of undesired offense.
Hare Krishna Mukesh Datwani Prabhu, please accept my humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
till the age of 5 child is considered as a king
from 5-25 he studies in the Gurukula lives celibate life. Gains knowledge.
after 25 he can choose to get married or stay as brahmachari for whole life.
who is married also lives nearly 25 years in the family as possibly controlling his senses, taking care of other Brahmacharis, Vanaprasthas, Sannyasis, Brahmanas. After marring his children and giving them opportunity to maintain themselves father and mother start fully be engaged in the service of Guru and Krishna without taking care of household life and without having intimate association with wife. They live Vanaprastha life and get ready themselves to the full renunciation sannyasa.
When father gets ready for full renunciation by the blessings of Guru may enter into sanyassa ashram. And wife comes back home to be protected by her elder son.
Your servant,
Sanyas is the renounced order of life. There are 2 ways in which one can take Sanyas. First is to remain a brahamachari for 50+ years of our life and then take Sanyas. Second way is to get married by 25-26 years, remain a house holder till about 50 yrs. Then live the retired life - vaanaprasta during which we just need to remain in temple full time and do service and stay away from sex life. And latter when we are ready to completely give up all relations one can take sanyas.
Sanyas is not taken but is awarded seeing the dedication and level of renunciation of the devotee. A Sanyasi should not see any difference between a male and a female. He has to see all living entities as the children of God and love and respect each one of them.
Mahaprabhu condemned the monkey renunciation or markata viragya. A monkey does not wear cloths, lives on trees and eats only fruits and roots. That does not make it a viragee - a renunciate or a sanyasi. The Vishnava philosophy is to remain in what ever position we suit in and practice Bhakthi.
