Ekanta Vasa – Living Alone In Hinduism

Ekanta Vasa means living alone by oneself and is an important aspect of Hinduism. This is recommended for serious meditation. Yogis exercise not only for physical well-being but for spiritual development also. This requires a concentration which is possible only in ekanta (solitude).

That is why sages and vanaprasthins are required to spend their time in japa (meditation) and tapa (penance) in seclusion. Ekanta Vasa is recommended for all serious efforts towards union of self with the Supreme Spirit. An ekanta vasin has no caste or village, as he is only an aspirant.
