Question: <\/b> Can I know the minimum age for becoming a monk. 2 years back when I had no faith in my self. I had tried for suicide due to certain reasons. But after I read Bhagavad Gita and teachings of Swami Vivekananda I am able to live normally. My parents want me to complete my graduation and then do what ever I want, like becoming a monk. So I have decided (not sure) to take up medical, because through that we can understand our brain and body. By understanding functions of our senses and organs we can be more self-controlled. I am following Bhakti Yoga. But I have not been able to meditate successfully though I am trying every week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
Answer: <\/b> The minimum age to join our order is 18 years. It is advisable to complete your graduation first. By that time you will have better maturity.
\nIn the meanwhile keep reading books of Sri Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekananda. You can also keep in touch with any of our centers which is near to you. The list of centers and their addresses are available on the web.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
