 "Sannyasa" often involved a simple life, one with minimal or no material possessions, study, meditation and ethical living.Those who undertook this lifestyle were called "Sannyasi", "Sadhu", "Yati", "Bhiksu", "Pravrajita/Pravrajitā", and Parivrajaka in Hindu texts.The term with a meaning closer to asceticism in Hindu texts is Tapas, but it too spans a spectrum of meanings ranging from inner heat, to self-mortification and penance with austerities, to meditation and self-discipline.
