THE MEANING OF BRAHMACHARYA Brahmacharya literally means Achara or  conduct that leads to the realization of Brahman or one’s own  Self.  It means the control of semen, the study of the Vedas and contemplation on God. The technical meaning of Brahmacharya is self-restraint, particularly mastery of perfect control over the sexual organ or freedom from lust in thought, word and deed. Strict abstinence  is not merely from sexual intercourse, but also from auto-erotic manifestations, from homosexual acts and from all perverse sexual practices. It must further involve a permanent abstention from indulgence in erotic imagination and voluptuous reverie. All sorts of sex anomalies and evil habits of various  sorts like masturbation and sodomy must be  completely eradicated. They bring about a total  breakdown  of the nervous system and immense misery. Brahmacharya is purity in thought, word and deed. It is celibacy and continence. Brahmacha...

    Beauty is a mental concept Though a lady appears to be gentle and soft, yet she becomes rude, rough and distinctly masculine when she becomes angry. The feminine grace vanishes when she comes under the influence of wrath, indignation, fury and resentment. Have you ever seen women fighting in the streets? Women are more jealous than men. They have more Moha and passion also. They are eight times more passionate than men. Women have more power of endurance.  Maya havocs through the imagination of the mind. Woman is not beautiful, but the imagination is beautiful. Sugar is not sweet, but the imagination is sweet. Food is not palatable, but the imagination is palatable. Man is not weak, but the imagination is weak. Understand the nature of Maya and mind and become wise. Curb this imagination of the mind by Vichara or right thinking and rest in Brahman wherein there is neither imagination nor thought. Beauty and ugliness are false imaginations of the mind. ...

  I have been reading the book called "The Practice Of Brahmacharya" by Swami Sivanada and I came across the concept of Maya, Delusion and True beauty so here I'm going to tell you that in depth,         INTENSITY OF THE CRAVINGS IN DIFFERE  PERSONS Passion is a very strong desire. A mild desire becomes a strong passion by frequent repetition or frequent enjoyment.                          In a broad sense, passion means any strong desire. There is passion for service to the country in patriots. There is passion for God-realization in first-class aspirants. In some people, there is a strong passion for novel-reading. There is passion for reading religious books. But generally, in common parlance, passion means lust or a strong sexual appetite. This is a physical craving for sexual or carnal gratification. When any sexual act is repeated very often, the desire becomes very ke...

  Veerya (semen )is the quintessence of blood. One drop  semen is manufactured out of forty drops of blood.  Mark here how valuable this fluid is ; According to Ayurveda, semen is the last Dhatu that is formed out of food.  Out  of  food is manufactured chyle. Out of chyle comes blood. Out of blood comes flesh. Out of flesh comes  fat. Out of fat comes bone.   Out of bone comes marrow.   Out of marrow comes semen.   These are the Sapta Dhatus or the seven Dhatus that support this life and body. Mark here how   precious is semen! It is the last essence. It is the Essence of essences. The Veerya comes out of the very marrow that lies concealed inside the bones   There are three divisions in each Dhatu. Semen nourishes the physical body, the heart  and the intellect. Only that man who uses the physical body, the heart and the intellect can have perfect Brahmacharya. A wrestler who uses his physical body only, but keeps the i...

  I’ve been reading to Swami Sivananda book The Practice of Brahmacharya and I want to discuss with you one concept that resonated with me "Semen Retention". As a king is no king without a treasury, subjects and an army, as a flower is no flower without fragrance, as a river is no river without water, so also, a man is no man without Brahmacharya (semen retention). Instincts and appetites form a part of all life on earth. Sense impulses and biological   urges are common to animal and man alike.  Sex is one of the prominent, most important and absolutely essential aspects of human, animal as well as plant life. Sex is an integral part of life—human, animal and plant. While this aspect of life is regulated by nature in plants and by instinct in animals,  In man it is left to his common-sense, intelligence and his developed reason to control and regulate the same. The vast and ancient scriptures of the world offer human society specific rule...
