Life of a monk in Ramakrishna ashram

It is essential for a monk to cut all ties to his previous life before entering the monastery. As a result of the fact that this is not something that can be accomplished quickly, the sense of detachment must be nurtured by gradually distancing oneself from all worldly attachments.

A novice is permitted to check in with his parents on occasion and ask about their health while he is still in the first stages of his training.

Monks are not given a wage for their work. The life of a monk is not comparable to that of an employee who is paid for their work. In this context, you give freely and completely of your body and mind, as well as your talents and capabilities, without any expectation of receiving any kind of monetary reward.

You are going to dedicate the remainder of your life to engaging in various spiritual activities such as japa, meditation, prayers, worship, the chanting of hymns and bhajans, the singing of bhajans, the study of sacred books, and work.

Some of them you will complete on own, while others will be completed at the ashrama alongside your fellow monastic brothers. The nature of the task, as well as its timing and duration, will be determined by the authorities, and the rules will need to be adhered to in an obedient and reverent manner.

Dress of Ramakrishna ashram

Members of the ashram will typically dress in a kurta-like shirt), a dhoti and an uttariya or gerua would be the color of these robes, unless the wearer was a novice or a Brahmacharin, in which case the garments would be white.
