Just as sugar pervades sugar-cane and butter pervades milk, so also semen pervades the whole body. It is the quintessence of blood.įrom food, chyle is manufactured out of chyle comes blood out of blood comes flesh out of flesh comes fat out of fat comes marrow out of marrow comes semen. The vital energy, Veerya which supports your life, which is the Prana (life-force) of Pranas, which shines in your sparkling eyes, which beams in your shining cheeks, is a great treasure to you. Veerya is the essence of life, thought, intelligence and consciousness. Veerya (seminal energy) is God in motion. He who wastes this vital and precious energy cannot have physical, mental, moral and spiritual development." The secret of health lies in preservation of this vital force. LALITHA SAHASRANAMAM CHANTING DAILY TO CONCEIVE FULLOne of the students of Dhanvantari approached his teacher after finishing his full course of Ayurveda (the ancient Indian science of medicine) and asked: "O Bhagavan, kindly let me know the secret of health now."ĭhanvantari replied: "This seminal energy is verily the Atman. Bhishma, Hanuman, Lakshmana, Jesus, Mirabai, Sulabha and Gargi were all celibates. A true celibate only can acquire jnana (wisdom).īrahmacharya is meant both for men and women. A true celibate only can cultivate Bhakti (devotion). Even so, you cannot have health and spiritual life without celibacy.Īn established celibate will not feel any difference in touching the opposite sex, a piece of paper, a block of wood, or a piece of stone. You cannot draw a picture without a canvas or a wall. There cannot be any language without words. It is the only key to open the Sushumna (the chief among astral tubes in the human body running inside the spinal column) and awaken the Kundalini (the primordial cosmic energy located in the individual). It contributes perennial joy and uninterrupted bliss. It serves as a gateway for the bliss beyond, and opens the door of liberation. It is a potent weapon and shield to wage war against the internal evil forces of lust, anger and greed. Without celibacy no spiritual progress is possible. The door of Nirvana (liberation) or perfection is complete Brahmacharya.Ĭelibacy is to a Yogi what electricity is to an electric bulb. In a broad sense, it is absolute control of all the senses. In a narrow sense, Brahmacharya is celibacy. It must further involve a permanent abstention from indulgence in erotic imagination and voluptuous reverie. There should be strict abstinence not merely from sexual intercourse but also from auto-erotic manifestations, from masturbation, from homosexual acts and from all perverse sexual practices. It is control of all the senses in thought, word and deed.īrahmacharya is not mere bachelorhood. It is movement towards God or the Atman (Self).īrahmacharya is absolute freedom from sexual thoughts and desires. Brahmacharya is the Achara or conduct by which you attain or reach Brahman (God). To the celibate who conserves the semen with great efforts, what is there unattainable in this world ? By the power of the composure of the semen, one will become just like Myself."īrahmacharya is a divine word. "Brahmacharya or spotless chastity is the best of all penances a celibate of such spotless chastity is not a human being, but a god indeed.
