What title is given to a travelling monk in Vedic tradition?

  • Pandit

  • Rishi

  • Sannyasi

Answer

The title given to a travelling monk in the Vedic tradition is "Sannyasi." A Sannyasi is someone who has formally renounced the world and all worldly desires. They are itinerant holy persons who wander from one holy place to another, living on alms and focusing on spiritual pursuits rather than material possessions. Sannyasis are deeply respected in the Hindu tradition for their renunciation and dedication to spiritual enlightenment.
