vanprastha and sanyas has its own significance in life,without it life is incomplete,why people do not opt it?

Question

why people say that taking care of children is the substitution of vanprastha and sanyas. do not you think that taking care of children is the job of father as father learns the role of father when he take care of his childrens , why grandfathers do like that . why do not they learn their own remaining chepters of life

Answer 1

Yes Kamal is right ! taking Sanyas is no guarantee that you will get salvation

Worshipping while being among the world is more difficult than sitting in jungles

I agree with you that grandparents, should not sacrifice their life for grandchildren... this is an unnecessary "Moha" in Indian society

After our responsiblities are over, we must , even while being in the world, should live a life of sanyasi.... and i think this is more difficult than running into jungles

And mind it is Kaliyuga... everything is not in place !!

Answer 2

Can you tell me what do you do when you take sanyas?
Why do you take sanyas?
According to you when you are free from your responsibilities, retired,etc you should take sanyas to pray god.
This means you can pray god only in oldage.
Friend you can pray god anytime anywhere, what matters is your sincerity.
Then why choose sanyas. Do you think that sanyasis can pray better. No, infact they are more attracted towards our normal life.
Get married and follow life as it comes.
You have no choice because you have already chosen.
Don't be under wrong impression that if you choose sanyas you will be able to pray God in a more better way.
Key is, start meditation. Life itself is a sanyas. Search the almighty within you.

Answer 3

Following hinduism is best way to reach god while being with family.
Vanprashta is also a way if you choose to.
There is no conflict. Its a choice.

Answer 4
