	Tapa Gaccha
		Dharmasagara wished to establish the central and unique position of the Tapa Gaccha and he exposed what he thought were flaws in the lives and doctrines of other Jain acaryas and their lineages.
		Tapa means 'Ascetism' and the doctrine of the gaccha is an emphasis on the original ancient ascetic values of Jainism.
		Because of Jagaccandra's austerities, the king gave him the epithet Tapa, Ascetism, which was then applied to the gaccha.

	Sutradhari - By Mylavarapu VenkateswaraRao.
		Now I will describe to you the Yogas, leading to ascetism, under the influence of which the persons give up their homes and become initiated in some holy order.
		If strong Grahas, capable of leading to ascetism, be obscure by Sūrya’s rays (that is they be combust), the person born, in spite of having reverence for the holy order, will not become initiated in that holy order.
		If the Grah, who leads the native to ascetism, is conquered in planetary war by another Grah, or Grahas at the time of birth, the person will relinquish the holy order, in which he becomes initiated.

	Valentin Ilie / An Unusual Hunt for Self-fulfillment (Site not responding. Last check: )
		What is really remarkable with this type of ascetism is especially the contradictory exterior doings which are, in themselves, an encrypted display of clear-sightedness and of their own spiritual experiences, or even symbolical reflections of certain social situations.
		The ascetism as a religious phenomenon existed in all religions, although our field of interest is restricted to the monotheist ones.
		By far the most interesting form of the foolishness for Christ's sake is to be found in the 13th to 16th centuries in Russia [58], as the "fool" saints canonized by the Russian Church being the most known cases of these type of ascesis [59].

	DAWN - Opinion; 27 February, 2004
		It is not a mosque-based religion, hitting home only on Sundays; nor does it propose ascetism, for leaving the world aside and zoning in on meditation cannot be too terribly difficult.
		On the surface there are rituals and there are people that get lost in the rituals, losing the forest for the trees in essence.
		If the example of the Prophet is to be followed, however, and remembering that monasticism is not recommended is Islam, the preferable interpretation is that this should be a sense of detachment.

	The Invisible Basilica: Basilides (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Salvation involved the disentanglement of spirit from matter, and was to be accomplished through ascetism and faith.

		Despite his advocacy of ascetism, Basilides had at least one son (perhaps a "spiritual son" rather than a genetic son), named Isidorus, who succeeded him in his office as religious teacher.

		However, these elements wasn't lacking in the home, either, in which way Martin Luther's predisposition for melancholy and anxiety came to foster an incipient expression in his character.
		He found his refuge in deepened studies of the bible and a devotion towards religious ascetism.
		Martin Luther had even earlier begun to doubt in the religious value of one-sided mortification and ascetism, while he had the opinion that one reveals an urge to earn salvation by one's own force in that way.

		Colors are changed too, from the pale pastel pink and blue at the height of the Ugg craze, to a more sophisticated range of deeper colors and earth tones, with some patterning and more detailing appearing on some Ugg boots.

	Eid Ul Fitr - The Festival
		The fast of Ramadan is not simply the total abstinence from food, drink and conjugal relations between the hours of dawn and sunset, but marks the anniversary of the revelation of the first chapters of the Holy Qur’an, the last Book revealed to mankind.
		During this time, Muslims meet socially when they break the daily fast, read the Qur’ an in its entirety; perform extra congregational prayers at night (Tarawih) and some may even opt to engage in a limited and controlled form of ascetism (‘Itikaf) and night vigils in the mosque during the last ten days of Ramadan.
		It also includes increased levels of charity and righteous deeds and acts and the bonding of Muslims internationally.

		Since this is an impossible idea, Mahavira developed a second path for normal human beings to follow.
