Modern Context

आधुनिक संदर्भ

Shiva — कभी Kailash, कभी Kashi, कभी श्मशान, कभी forest — no fixed address। Sanyasis जो griha-tyag करके parivrajak (wanderer) बनें — aniketa lifestyle। Digital nomads जो remote work करके globally travel — modern aniketa। Sadhu कभी ashram, कभी river bank, कभी temple — itinerant aniketa। Alexander the Great envied Indian gymnosophists' freedom from possessions। 'Home is where the heart is' — अगर heart शिव में है तो everywhere home। शिव aniketa — homeless yet never lonely, propertyless yet richest — freedom from address = freedom from limitation।
