Resocialization involves learning new norms, values, attitudes, and behaviors to match a new situation in life, often replacing previous behaviors and norms. In this case, Rainbow Sun's acceptance of a new name, giving up possessions, and cutting off contact with the outside world to live with a highly spiritual group fits the definition of resocialization.
