What was it like being a monk? Do you have a specific question?

My dear friends and readers…

I am curious about the topics that interest you the most. While I write about various subjects, including spirituality, consciousness, and numerology, I want to know what resonates with you. One area I haven’t explored in depth is my life as a monk, which was a significant and transformative period.

I am passionate about discussing spiritual perspectives, consciousness, my charity work, and numerology. However, my time as a monk, a period filled with profound spiritual growth and discipline, remains largely unexplored in my writings. I am eager to share more about this unique experience.

What was it like being a monk for 14 years?

I’d love to get such questions to stimulate new topics to discuss.

In essence, being a monk was similar to the discipline of a marine, but without weapons or violence. The lifestyle was deeply austere, requiring immense dedication and self-discipline..

My daily routine as a monk included shaving my head, sleeping on a hard floor, taking cold showers, and waking up at 3 am. I dedicated two hours each to studying scripture and meditating. Meals were regulated, and my day was filled with work until bedtime at 9:30 pm. This routine was consistent for 14 years.s, worked all day, and then went to sleep at 9.30 pm only to repeat the same over and over again for 14 years. During my time as a monk, I did not take holidays or engage in a social life beyond temple activities. Celibacy was a strict aspect of my commitment, allowing me to focus entirely on spiritual growth and service.. I was 100% celibate.

I invite you to ask any questions you may have about my life as a monk. Your inquiries will help guide future discussions and provide deeper insights into this unique way of living.

Over to you.
