ADHERENTS OF THE ASHRAM DHARMA

As per Sanatan Ashram regulations administration must be carried out by Grihasthas, that is, individuals between 25 and 50. But most ministers, led by the Prime Minister, belong to the Vanaprastha stage of life when they ought to have retired long back to their reclusive retreats. Next year the Prime Minister will be 75 years old, that is, as per scriptural regulations which he supposedly observes ideologically, he will enter the Sannyas phase of his life. Is he planning total retirement then from all worldly associations come September, 2025?
