Monasticism (from Greek μοναχός, monachos, derived from μόνος,
monos, "alone") or monkhood
is a religious way of life in which
one renounces worldly pursuits to
devote oneself fully to spiritual work.
Monastic life plays an important role
in many Christian churches,
especially in the Catholic and
Orthodox traditions.
Mantra [s] comes from a Sanskrit
word
meaning a “sacred message or text, charm, spell, counsel.”
