Wonderful Health benefits of Celibacy (Brahmacharya):
72
It is worth repeating that a true celibate possesses tremendous energy, a clear brain, gigantic will-power, bold understanding, retentive memory and good power of enquiry.
One 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."
Dhanvantari replied: "This seminal energy is verily the Atman. The secret of health lies in preservation of this vital force. He who wastes this vital and precious energy cannot have physical, mental, moral and spiritual development."
What is Celibacy / Brahmacharya?
Brahmacharya is absolute freedom from sexual thoughts and desires. It is the vow of celibacy. It is control of all the senses in thought, word and deed.
Brahmacharya is not mere bachelorhood. 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 must further involve a permanent abstention from indulgence in erotic imagination and voluptuous reverie.
Don’t waste the vital energy!!!
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. It is the quintessence of blood.
From 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. Semen is the last essence.
The effect of wasting your semen
Those who have lost much of their semen become easily irritated. They lose their balance of mind quickly. Little things upset them. Those who have not observed the vow of celibacy become slaves of anger, laziness and fear. If you do not have your senses under control, you venture to do foolish actions which even children will not dare to do.
Note carefully the evil after-effects, once the Veerya is lost. Prana gets unsteady. It gets agitated.. The body and mind refuse to work energetically. There is physical and mental lethargy. Exhaustion and weakness are experienced. You have to take recourse to milk , fruits and other articles to make good the loss of energy. Remember, these articles can never, never repair loss. Bad memory, premature old age, impotence, various sorts of eye diseases and nervous diseases are attributable to the heavy loss of this vital fluid.

Celibacy is the most important
Pure air, pure water, wholesome food, physical exercise, outdoor games like tennis - all contribute to the maintenance of good health, strength and a high standard of vigour and vitality. There are, indeed, many ways to gain health and strength. These ways are, doubtless, indispensable requisite. But, celibacy is the most important of all. It is the only specific that keeps up true manliness.
The practice of celibacy is not attended with any danger or disease, or undesirable results such as the various sorts of 'complex' wrongly attributed by the Western psychologists. They have no practical knowledge of the subject on hand. They have a wrong and ill-founded imagination that the ungratified sex-energy assumes the various forms of 'complex' such as touch-phobia. The complex is due to some other causes. It is a morbid state of mind due to excessive jealousy, hatred, anger, worry, and depression brought about by various causes.

Namaste! thanks for your comments guys...
this is a nice material has given on celibacy
OJAS and TEJAS. as a glow on the smiling countenance, MEDHA and DHRITI, as a spontaneous outburst in THOUGHT, WORD and DEED is the very nature of a celibate reaping the fruit of brahmacharya. Pure in purity, Conscious in consciousness
he is the fit person to be a GNANI and who can make others SO.
Nature (maya) makes Purusha (Creator) obscured and belittled. The RAJAS (mayashakti in a woman - a share of brahma hatya ) devours the Purusha ( living life of the
sperm in the SEMEN of man). A man exhausting his semen
is reduced from a celestial to a deluded and utopian
danava not even a manava.
wills to expel and kill the
it is so benefical for all so it should be printed on newspaper so more and more people take the benefit of it.
Thanks to you.
yeh this is very inspiring note . iwould like to thank the author & now i m going to follow the path of celibacy as described above . as i know very well that "HUM SUDHRENGE .. YUG SUDHREGA"
You cannot suppress sexual desires. Observe it. Be in present and you will know that its just for reproduction and nothing else.
sex should be restricted only for reproduction after marriage.There should not be any extramarrital sex.We should surrender to God and observe certain role e.g Truth,Purity,Honesty,Compassion
Please read the His Holiness Swami Sivananda's book about Brahmacharya. never miss this. chance to create divine Health and Happiness on you.
Great information. Is it possible that sex was the "original sin" mentioned in the Bible.
To "know" another person in a Biblical way" is to have had sex with them thus ... the Tree of "Know"ledge.
"Don't eat of the fruit" ... what part of the human body would be considered the "Fruit" ... the sexual organs.
Temptation by the serpant ... what part of the human body resembles a serpant? ... the male sex organ.
The results of this sin ... "Pain in childbirth" for the woman.
It all seems to make sense.
Can I call Bullshit on this one? If memory serves me correctly, releasing my built up tension that remaining celibate has done after just a few days, actually puts me into a good mood. Not a bad one.
Whatever written in the vedas and puranas is true for me, dont give a damn to the western doctor's their studies are nothing compared to the ved's (yoga, Ayurved) of our ancestors a yug ago
Brhamacharya is an instrument by which one can rise to any level at any situation of life.We must adhere to norms of sublimation not suppression of feelings.Therefore art of living life is called protection of ojas -spiritual energy for immaculate knowledge power which only our sages enjoy of all countries.One can understand from ones eyes the power of ojas which is the source of real power on earth.Swami Vivekananda calls it the only power which can move the world through orations and scholasticism in all facets.But it should be personal not public.If it is public then one may fall from the height of glory.Also one should not speak about to anyone who is not physically and intellectually fit.It is a tool of real source by which one cannot hate anyone -but only radiate love to one and all in the world .
There is no credible evidence -- and not even much *non-credible* evidence -- for any of the author's assertions. In fact, the best double-blind testing suggests just the opposite: regular sex is good for you. Google the double-blind method so you understand how effective it is and what authority one should give double-blind conclusions with proper experimental controls.
In other words: don't believe whatever you hear blindly and arbitrarily. Believe only what is evidenced after serious, rigorous attempts have been made to account for human bias and error. Keep an open mind, but no so open your brains fall out.
The evidence says responsible sex is generally good for you. This is good news! Enjoy being with the one you love. :-)
- Good Article and I would like to read about the practices one can do to maintain celibacy.
Celibacy is giving me wonderful results! For queries, this portal seems helpful. The past answers here give good insight. All the best folks :http://www.allexperts.com/el/Celibacy-Abstinence/
Without Celibacy or Brahmacharya a man who is Sannyasi or an Ordinary Man cant attain anything in this world, this is the truth,experiance Goodluck well wishers
Brahmacharya makes u great light in u r face, always try to attack your worldly minded pleasures and try to become God indeed try to keep brahmachrya around or more than 12 years or more , this will make u pure minded person and can perform devine power, This is my experiance , I practicing brahmacharya from 1892 to till this movement, My benefites cannot be explain to others because others will not beleive it, Now I can feel God's love and some of his powers, and can achieve anything in this world like money , Metals etc , but my aim is to know about GOd, try it and enjoy the life
Yes the goal is to know and love God.
thank you
thank you
All the comments said in the above are true and can enjoy the life, A man who is in deep crazy in sexual pleasure cant enjoy the life, His Karma contains a bundle of sadness and will become lazy, . God loves those people who prcaticing Brahmacharya
Read the swami-vivkanand books about Brahmacharya........
and weekly or monthly meet RAMKRISHNA-ASHRAM.
Celibacy or brahmacharya is a must for wonderful and joyful life and it will make th owner of anything in the world-brahmasutra
Swami Vivekananda has told that"He is a real Shakti worshiper who knows ,god is the omni present force and sees the manifestation of that force in all women."
sex is for joy and not just reproduction , however if one can save this energy or direct it into new heights of understanding , then more power to him ! I do not understand as to why most comments here are so rigid and submissive , as if there are laws in this world and our intelligence is for nothing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excess of everything is bad.now a days sex is open trend which poses a problem in familystability & social order.diciplined lifestyle is a mantra for successfull &healthy society and its members so limited sex is needed as explained in vedas to divide the life into 4-ashrams 1.to live life of bharamcharya ashram upto age of25yrs 2.gharist-ashram to regulate sexual life with a limit (explained in various shastras) pls read book divya prerana parkash.asaramji ashram
it totally depends on u that how u want to use a particular thing.
by using petrol in destructive way u can make lot of things to burn,but with the same petrol u can drive ur cars & bike etc.,this is a constructive way.
there r many things almost everything which we can use in const. & destru. way.
SO,IF U WILL FOLLOW CELIBACY U CAN USE UR ENERGY IN CONSTRUCTIVE WORK ........otherwise .......i hope we can understand because we r intelligent
Finally celibacy is everything.........
jai bapuji
jai gurudev
really you are well wisher..............
thanx a lot
plz give more information on celibacy and how to maintain this
Could you help me with my question? what happen when one has been masturbating for years and start semen retention from now? I'm 17 and i've been masturbating several years, since a young age. I've tried to eliminate that practice since 2 years ago, without succed, but now i'm doing right. Can i still obtain the benefits of semen retention, no matter what i did in my past? I'm keeping myself celibate physically. I'm not a person who is thinking about sex 24 hours a day/7 times a week, but sometimes if i see a beautiful girl i can keep looking at her for seconds and SOMETIMES she can excite me. What i want to obtain from semen retention is will power, strong and sharp mind and good health. Will this thing that happen SOMETIMES when i'm near a girl be bad if i want to get that things? very thanks.
I'm very happy to have come across this site, now I feel convinced with Brahmacharya, and Ram read Dada Bhagwan's books on celibacy, that shall help you maintain it.
my brother, please forgive ur past life, if u remebering the same u will fall down with your inner Vasana. If u Preserving the semen for a year it will go upwards from Chakra to chakra (muladhara, swadishtana etc) but if it is turn down ward u will lose benefits of brahmacharya, If u preserve it for a 5 years u will not have any crazy for sex ideas or wet dreams , the preserved semen , some of this liquid will turn as blood and blood become very strong with veerya and u can do fearless karma in daily life, and the body become very beutiful, eyes become very shine,.. and the some semen tranferred to Ojass shakti and helps the Kundalini to moves upward (Semen turns as gasious form and get geat power) So these are the benefits of brahmacharya my dear brother
With the help of Yoga u can keep the brahmacharya
Do Moola banda, Uddiyana banda, Pranayama
Thanks to the persons who answered to my help!
I have another doubt. Brahmacharya consist in a series of practices, like not to eat meat, get up in the night at 4:00, and many more, isn't it?
I don't eat in a bad way. I never eat meat, i eat fish very ocasionally, maybe once each two months, and i also eat egg. For some reasons, i'm young and i can't practice true Brahmacharya. I've decide to start true Brahmacharya later in life, it's that a good idea? The only thing that i can practice for now, is semen retention. Will i obtain benefits fomr semen retention, no matter if i eat those things ocasionally (fish and eggs)?
Thanks
my brother do not stop your fish and egg eating suddenly, u can some small fish is good for health, but by the egg eating , the semen will have rajassic shakthi and have the temptation to go downward, If u are starting brahmacharya u must avoid the egg food for a 3 months atleast your mind will become perfect. After the mind in a strong position (do not have any sexy things) u can add egg in your food. But my brother if your interested in purifying the chakras by Pranayama u must avoid egg and fish from your diet.
Start the brahmacharya today itself, Feed the brain good things, read Bagavat Gita daily, If u have temptation from Internet , Tele vision avoid them and look such media like an enemy,. If u r getting up 4 am u have any night wet dreams because it occures at 3.30 afterwards, But u r mind having any sex feeding from media, newspaper etc u will have any night fall and can keep true brahmacharya. By night discharge a few semen going from u r body which have less power So do not look night discharge very seiously , thats all my dear brother
thank u
this is a very ossom and usefull things for me.
thanks for the information.
what you put here is the truth which Swami sivanada already stated..thanks for this post ...
For a long life u must keep brahmacharya as your character
after how much time i can see the result of celibacy.
I really wondered to see this site and thanks for giving such valuable information about celibacy.
I am 32 years old now. if i start now celibacy can i get the benefits the way you explained? Please comment.

first u will stop the eating of egg, chicken etc , u can control your senses then practice brahmacharya yoga like moola bandha, uddiyana bandha, pranayama etc , After Indriya nigraha u must turn u r mind towards the divotion to God, he is the master of all the results in the World
I actually wasted it for 10 years from now. Now I am having some problems like I cant concentrate, low memory. Now I have decides total abstinece. Its great fight with mind but I will win. I dont beive in god. I an=m doing it for myself. So guys aware,,,,,,,,,,
i have decided to remain in celebacy for 2 and half months..i have musterbated a lot...typically 2-3 times a day for the last 16 years....now i have really nerve decese...i have experienced the bad effects...i was abnormal and unsocial...now within four days of celebacy, i am feeling energy and my mind is staring to clear...our ancestors were damn right...i love them...
I have put this method into practice and my mind body and soul are in tune for once,
we should always try to read these kinds of literature coz it helps us to practice or follow the rules of brahamcharya . we can really achieve anything by following brahamcharya .
man who knows the benefits of this technique , he is like God
celibacy can win the god.if a man has a total control of his tongue & sexy body, then he can everything as he want .nothing is impossible for him.
I have read in the Book Raja Yoga by Swami Vivekananda that if semenal fluids are saved, they can be converted in to Ojas shakthi in the brain and help in evoking Kundalini Shakthi with the help of Sirashasana Yoga asana. Corredt me if i am wrong.
the day from which i taken the vow of celibacy everyday i feel new kind of joy which is far far better than momentary sexual pleasure
I'm masturbating since 10, and now i'm 18. But now i'm trying harder to give up this habit, this is difficult as there is so much sex in media today, but still i'm trying
Brahamacharya is the only thing which you try ..all other things are like pinut in this world.... you will realize that you urself is god if you follow strict brahamacharya
Tips for brahmacharya
1. First as per Vivekananda saying "take care from any sexual thought in your mind"(one sexual thought is enough for complete loss of vital energy)
2. Know the body is built up by blood, flesh, urine etc(Lord Shankara said in his Bhaja Govindam that "navel,boobs etc of a woman is only flesh,oil,blood covered with skin donot look them as a things for enjoyment ".(Please read his Sarva Vedanta Sankshepa))
3. If temptation occures think about great gurus like Mahavatara Babaji,Swami Vivekananda, Lahiri Mahashaya, Anandamyi ma,Sri Ramakrishna, Yukteswar, Paramahamsa Yogananda etc
4. Love Children and play with them (because they have no sex ideas and mind is pure It will help u to avoid sexual thoughts)
5. Use at least 3 hours in a day for Yoga Practice (Moola banda, Pranayama, Meditation) and use at least 2 hours for Spiritual readings like Bagavat Gita, Shiva Purana etc
6. Do not sit alone in the House , if your alone in the house the mind will tempting for sexual enjoyment So use such time for meditation, pranayama etc from outside
7. Take care from people , friends etc who are crazy for sexual pleaure. Do not say them about your great effort because they will start to tempting you and will enjoy if u fail from the vow
8. Take care from Television, Internet etc use them with the person who is interesting in Brahmacharya and Divosion
9. Always try to keep the First place of Your Mind for God and think that mind is the creation of God or Soul (If you are searching the ming with the upper mind the mind will hide in 'you'. 'You' means soul or God)
10. When Vikara(Temptation) occures Vichara(Viveka = Truth) will distroy the Vikara
11. Try to collect the spriritual friendship have sprirtual progress
12. Always preach Mantras like 'Gayatri' or 'I can Strict Celibacy' in Your mind
If you are trying the vow of brahmacharya you will get the the attention of God
(My dear brothers sorry for any spelling or grammer mistake in my above statements)
Always keep mind with happy
If you want to live the life follow the celibecy at least for a year you will encounter with a tremendous change. If the number of people start to do so then all the negative energy escape from the world.
You are really a "well wisher". I am very thankfull for the tips. I started brahmacharya 2 years ago, So I have some kowledge about celibacy , some of the benefits I have are following:-
1) the body will lose unwanted fat and have a good look\
2) power of mind become high , tension, stress,etc are reduces
3) Power of memory will It helped me to the sucess of UPSC exam
4) Relationship with opposite gender with sexual thought changed and feeling holiness at the time of realting to them
5) can keep mind with joy and results of Pranayama should be fast
6) For a brahmachari , no need for more food, body will keep the power and serve us from hungry
Washing of sexual organ with cold water ,moola banda, pranayama , meditation, reading of spiritual book, spriritual friendship etc hepled me a lot for maintaning celibacy.
I Think the statements are true and tips for brahmacharya by a wellwisher are very Awesome and very useful for bachelor life, I started celibacy 5 months ago and it is correct that the body have a feel with light hot as Athul Krishna said. Feeling good and mind changed. My childish activities are ended and improved responsibilities to family, nation,. I can feel what is real love of a pure mind. My sexual thoughts are ended
I am very thankful all above persons who saw their good visions especially to the wellwisher (I dont know who is this)
To the Personality Developers
Do not go to personality classes if u have no celibacy or brahmacharya. If u have strict brahmacharya u not need any such classes. It will improve your Confidence and can overcome fear
Thanks to the well wisher
I read from the quotes that brahmacharya 12 years can cure the disease like aids , cancer through its grace. And one can die at his will
hey,
i am strongly believing in celibacy but have some fear as i read that it increaser risk of prostate cancer by 35 % and many more diseases, is it true please help
The practice of Brahmacharya in thought, word and deed with adequate physical activity, intellectual work and God-meditation, if carried out rightly leads to the conservation and transmutation of semen into Ojas. This eventually weeds out all diseases out of the body and mind and installs excellent health and strength. Contrary to developing such a complication, the chances of prostate cancer get reduced in the Brahmachari as the prostate gland is rested and rejuvenated further to the conservation of semen. The incidence of prostate cancer is unheard of in Brahmachari's who carry out correct Brahmacharya through correct Yogic methods.
Brahmachari does not have any afraid about disease, beacuse Patanjali said in yoga sutra that "Brahmachari have veerya labha". Veerya have many meanings:- Bravery, blood, semen, etc. A man who save this energy who can achieve bravery. This means Brahamachari have no fear of disease, climates, human attack, attack from animal etc,. and he can perform any work that cant perform by an ordinary man. There have no any report against previous brahmacharis with disease, . Some of them have diseases, (Ramana Maharshi, Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Sri Narayana Guru etc) and they already said that the body is only a machine for burning the past karma or Prarabda karma. Such great saint knew all about their future life and their date of death,. Diseases will not come by the practice of brahmacharya but by the past karma. Practice brahmacharya todayitself and enjoy the life.
although i m following celibacy but my condition is not same in all time. it vary with time .plz give suggestion
It takes a few months to a year of unbroken Brahmacharya for semen to start getting re-absorbed. The first few months do not consist of re-absorption but only non-production of semen further to the body being relieved of its duty of forming semen. Since the aspirant shuns a life of wastage, the body does not have to constantly produce semen as it used to earlier before the onset of celibacy. The relief experienced by the body from being rested of the job of producing semen results in higher energy, strength and vitality. The semen conserved during this initial period goes towards the restoration and revitalization of all the organs in the body and results in improved immunity, heath and vigor.
It is very important to practice Brahmacharya in thought, word and deed keeping the mind free of impure thoughts and effect the process of sublimation through regular physical, intellectual activity and God-meditation if Brahmacharya is to be continued in totality.
This is the difference between the ordinary unmarried celibate and a Brahmachari. While the unmarried man may masturbate or loose his seed through constant wet dreams, the Brahmachari sublimates and transmutes his vital essence into something more powerful and worthy.
Brahmacharya is not suppression or repression of sexual energy but transmutation. A man who merely suppresses and contains the sex desire within causes serious imbalance and danger to his body, mind and psyche and may soon be afflicted with dangerous diseases. The Brahmachari on the other hand keeps his mind pure, bypasses the concept of sexuality and gradually gets free of the 'apparent' and 'false' need called as the 'sex need' conditioned into the mind through years and past lives of recreational sexuality.
Keep your mind occupied with constructive activity, shun impure thoughts, indulge regularly in a sport/physical exercise and set aside some time of the day to indulge in God-meditation. This will make Brahmacharya effective and you will reap benefits with time.
Brahmachrya gives joyness and very pleasure in day to day life and the benefits will come in each days, . Semen retention is very important for all men. Because voluntary loss of semen will effect your health, wealth, happiness etc. In a urdhwaretha yogi the production of semen in his body will stop and energy of such production will change for the production of vital energy in the body
We are celeberating 64 ndipendance day, Adi Shankararacharya said that the person who is free from Sexuality (Kama),Krodha and lobha , he is the indipended person , Wish u a happy Indipendance day
its true a person who is celibate and conserves semen and never wastes the energy....can achieve and reach god....

excellent article & comments.
the answer to Anonymous:
yeah ur doing right..try to follow celibacy as much as possible. at least, you are following celibacy physically: which is a good thing-you can go ahead with more practice. even sometimes if ur mind diverts towards girls, don't feel upset and think that u have lost the battle. continue avoiding as much as possible. It is good that you have stopped masturbating at the age of 17 itself- best of luck in the coming years, you are going great.
really calibecy is the best way to improve your health..once you start this then it will give you more strength and energy day by day..for students this is a medicine to increase the thinking capacity of brain..
all u loosers never had a woman...thats the reason you guys ranting about the glory of celibacy...u dont even know what it takes..u two faced hypocrites..
ya... celibacy is the best way to attain perfect spirituality, it takes us near to God and gives real happiness.sorry but if u want to know the power of bramcharya, you must be know 'ANNA HAZARE"
If u are leading a Married life , in such life also need the vow of brahmacharya, In our Dharma after the married life having 1 or 3 childrens , must return in brahmacharya life,. otherwise u will lose ur life, Finally a brahmachari only can become Grihastasrami
Wonderfull,i realised ,i lost treamndous power,but i will not continue and practice strong celebacy...
Get free Book on Brahmacharya here it is:
Brahmacharya is the king of body! He whos observes B'charya has a strong body and beautifull mind... Dadabhagwan's books on celibacy as extremely helpfull...

i am a celibate but every 10/12 days my semen is discharged by night fall(SWAPAN DOSH)....if any way m loosing my vital energy semen than what s the point in observing celibacy?
not to mention i tried all to stop night fall but failed so far....how can you help sir?
A wet dream in the general sense is the expression of unfulfilled desires in the awake state, during the dream state. If sexual wants and desires are let to blossom while we are awake and consequently suppressed, they manifest in the form of erotic/ sexual dreams which may or may not lead to a wet dream (emission of vital fluid). If the intensity and involvement in the sexual fantasy is very strong and deep while awake, there is a high possibility that the erotic dream might turn into a wet dream, i.e a dream accompanied by emission of vital fluid. Again milder indulgences in fantasies during the awake state might produce a sexual dream of lesser intensity, but without emission.
If a celibate practices true celibacy in thought, word and deed for a long period of time he can reach a state where he no longer has wet dreams. This state he reaches, further to elimination of most gross and subtle impurities in his physical, astral and causal bodies. If at all there is an occasional emission of fluid, it will mostly be a small amount of prostatic fluid being flushed out by the prostate gland for occasional cleansing (such emissions will not be accompanied by erotic/ sexual thoughts or fantasies). In fact the subject might not even know when the fluid came out as he would have experienced deep dreamless sleep and finds a very small amount of fluid emitted upon getting awake. This is accompanied by a sense of freshness and wellbeing, unlike a nocturnal sexual wet dream which results in weakness, dullness, depression and a sense of guilt. Such cleansing in a true celibate is very occasional like say once or twice a year. It does not fall in the category of a erotic wet dream which is debilitating.
Elaborating whether I experience or don't experience wet dreams might be a little out of context as it would result in self-promotion. But I can vouch for the fact that wet dreams stop or almost come to a standstill once gross and subtle impurities (toxins) have been removed to a large extent. Again one never knows if the level of purity one has attained is really enough for life long stoppage, except by future experiences of success or failure. It is best to bear in mind that we are students in this path and be alert and humble.
To sum it up, a celibate has to constantly be on guard against the onslaught of senses which can stir up the latent lust present within. No amount of effort is enough, for we are always short of the mark by a few degrees. The day we think ourselves to be beyond lust, that day we fail and get to see our short comings. We see there's 'So little done and so much to do'. But with constant perseverance and devotion to god, success will ultimately come. As to when one succeeds in reaching this state beyond lust, Lord Krishna tells us in the Bhagavad-Gita:
" The objects of senses but not their relish turn away from the abstemious man. Even the relish turneth away after one has realized the supreme " - Chap.II verse 59, The Bhagavad-Gita
Which means:- A man by restricting his senses may refrain from the objects of sense enjoyment, but the taste for enjoyment remains. Even this taste leaves man after he has realized the supreme.
So till the final goal called self-realization is achieved, one is ever a student and ever prone to onslaught of the senses. He may fall from his state of celibacy at any point of time if not vigilant. Only honest effort and humility can help one reach the goal.
HI THAT'S ALL IS GR8
AS IT IS 100% TRUE...
ASLO DON'T SUPRESS THE FEELINGS OF SEX AS IT WILL NOT BE EASY TO MAINTAIN CELIBACY,,, ONE MUST ENGAGE HIM IN PRESENT SAY NO TO THOUGHTS... AND THAT TO PURE THOUGHTS.. READ GOOD BOOKS ...

thanx for sharing wonderful information with us..
Hey guys, now that I discovered the power of brahmacharya I can tell this to anyone what benefits it brings, I'd like to share with you my story as it is. For 4 years I've been masturbating on porn, I was really addicted, and lost to much semen, I recieved almost all the bad side-effects from wasting to much semen. I could not have sex with real females because my potention fell down so much, like I was an old man in my 20'es. I thought that I will never have a girlfriend, with time going on, God sent me a beauyfull girl and very trustfull, a kind one. Now that I found what was the problem, the main idea that I lost my power of will, my erections, my concentration, my healthy way of thinking, I told her that we're not going to make any s*x, now that I want to practice brahmacharya because I want to live again, she is suffering from this, she thinks I'm ignoring her, and I feel sorry for this stupid situation, I'm actually at the 4th week of sexual abstinence, now I feel that I'm regaining power, now I really think and want to work more, I'm more atractted to people, my fame comes back, fears are going away from me. But I still feel unconofrtable with this, I do not want to lose my gf, I love her much, and she loves me much. I'm passing through hard times, I went her to be happy, but i'm affraid of losing her. What can I do? She trusted in me all the time, she won't ever leave me, but shr won't ever understand me, why I should I practice brahmacharya.
marry her, and give a offspring , only after that do strict brahmacharya
brahmacharya can best be attained by understanding the nature of sexuality! If we write down the advantages and disadvantages of maturbation or sex, we can easily conclude that B'charya is the most important tool health and spiritual progress. Western People oppose celibacy because its impossible for them to practise celbacy. But here in India its possible due to our rich spirituality! This is proven by many of great people in india at present like Pujya Deepakbhai Desai, Shri Shri Ravishankar, Baba Ramdev, Anna Hazare, etc. and whoever practises celibacy for such long time has a wonderfull power of mind and speech! and this has been proven by these great leaders! They are the real heroes of India!
You are right.But the most important thing is our determination for bramcharya.Everyday determination of bramcharya is necessary if we forget it only 2 days, we donot take it even 2 or 3 months.So constant awareness is necessary and if u want follow bramcharya long-life it is necessary to read bramcharya quotes everyday for motivation.I regularly read it. It is really beneficial for celibacy.Not to much emotional be practical!!!
Baba Ramdev is a real brahmachary ok, but He wasting too much energy through daily speech, Otherwise He can become a real Siddha Yogi

Hi All,
Thanks for giving such a greatful information. Actually I am suffering the effects of Masturbation. I have this habit from past 13 yrs, Now I am working in reputed company by god blessing. I was having poor concentration,low confidence and weak attitude during my college life. Now also I am suffering effects of masturbation. I cant work properly or speak with people confidently. I need to overcome this problem. By reading these comments I got the core reason why I am feeling 24rs Laziness,tired, cant speak with people very fluently and not social. Now I am thinking for celibacy and will start it soon.

Now I am thinking for celibacy and will start it soon.
If I will start it from now then can I get the benefits of celebacy? Can I overcome the loss of energy? Can I overcome my absentmindness ?
Hey guys, brahmacharya can purify chakras?
HELLO ANANOMOUS AND YO
FOR CONFIDENCE THINK LIKE THAT "I HAVE ONLY FEW DAYS TO GO, I HAVE NO AFRAID OF DEATH, ACTUALLY I HAVE NO DEATH BECAUSE I AM SHIVA" PREACH THIS WORDS ON EARLY MORNING . (FOR 60 AGED MAN HE LIVED ONLY 21900/- DAYS , HALF DAYS SPEND BY SLEEP, SO BALANCE ACTUALLY HE LIVED 10950) SO WE HAVE ONLY FEW DAYS TO GO, NOTE THE VALUE OF EACH DAYS DONT WASTE IT BY FEAR,
NOT ONLY THROUGH BRAHMACHARYA BUT ALSO NEED OF PRANAYAMA FOR CLEAR CHAKRAS
1. It is never late to adopt a life of Brahmacharya. Better late than never. Brahmacharya is one’s default way of life. It is the true state of the Atman (soul). Everyday of practice gives its benefits. It offers the chance for a better spiritual, mental and physical state now and in the next birth. Hence by all means can the practice be taken up.
2. The merits include good health, strength and well being, a clear and calm mind that helps one function better and stay happy, spiritual development leading to lessening of past karma and overall improvement in all fields of life. Brahmacharya should be practiced in thought, word and deed with adequate physical (asana or exercise), mental work and spiritual (meditative) activity. There are no demerits.
3. Sexual energy which is conserved is directed towards other constructive activities which may include physical exercise, asana, sports, mental work (as in one’s job), hobbies etc… and meditation. In other words, one will have much energy and zest to perform any activity of one’s choice to satisfaction. As the aspirant advances, he will get drawn to deeper meditation that leads to much joy and peace of mind.
Thanks vijith and dhananajay for your valuable comments. I will follow it
Hey guys I'm not an yoga practicant, never was, I even have no the smallest idea of it, so in conclusion, brahmacharya is good only for yogis?
Cause people write here, that you also have to do some pranayamas and other kinds of yoga...
Look guys, I'm a western one :), I work much, I don't have time to practice yoga or pranayama( don't what's that) so that means that brahmacharya will not work for me?
whats the meaning of meditating upon 7 chakras? wats the method to meditate in such state? kindly guide this student
Yes. A man who succeeded in celibacy is none other than GOD
Hi.. dear it is a wonderful article.

When all is aqured the hope is all!
Spelling is always not perfect! "Aqured is Acquired".
iam turned into +ive life force due to red this
thank u , i will pass this precious thing to my friends
here after i will use internet & tv & cellular phones for good n decent purpose naver,
Guys last morning I had a wet dream, thus I lost semen :(, today I have headache, so losing semen will set me back at day 1 when I started brahmacharya? I feel exhausted, does that mean that all my experience gained will drain away? :(, When I practice brahamcharya I become Brave, corageous, less fear, my memory is better. And after my semen loss, means that I again lose all what I've gained? I already have fear that I'll be again a coward, in a lethargy state with a low memory :( As I was before starting brahmacharya :((( until I have to replenish my goal :/
Brahmcharya 1s the net result of a fully disciplined life system in all acts of life.
Since 1997 I abused alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, caffiene, junk food, sex, masterbation and Porn. I became unwell and lost my energy. My memory became poor, I lost my confidence and my speech became bad. I became very stressed and suffered from anxiety, fear, depression, seclution, bad health, pains in my liver, bladder, stomach. I Became allergic to many different foods. My skin became terrible, I suffered pimples, rashes, itchiness. My peronality changed from happy and good natured into bad moods, arguing with people, getting angry, upset, shouting at people, Thinking bad thoughts and believing that I was becoming serious illness soon.
I ended up where I did not enjoy meeting people anymore and would spend my days on my own. In the year 2003 I started to try and cure myself. I tried every diet. I quit drinking, smoking and drugs and tried to do excersise. But the tiredness always keeps coming back.
Lest Nove 2011 I suffered from a Nervous breakdown where I had to finish work where I had been for 32 years because I was too tired out. I was exhausted and had developed "ADRENAL EXHAUSTION"..
Since the start of this year I have tried to eat as healthy as possible and since th 19th of March I finally quit caffiene. On the 21st I decided to stop masterbating. I have been studying all activities that make the adrenal glands work and I found out that masterbation or sex is one of the things. I decided to try to become completely celebate and to to lose any more seman in order to help my adrenal glands recover.
Other activities that work the adrenal glands are "white sugar" "Rifined salt" "white flour", "stress" "anger" "jealousy" "hatred" "all negative thoughts" "Overexercising/overtraining" "Overwork".
For complete adreanal exhaustion cure, rest is important and a simple diet with no processed foods.
I forgot to ask my question.
I have changed from eating white refined salt to eating Sea salt and Himalayan Rock salt.
I am also having hot baths with Himalayan Rock salt added to help rid my body of toxins.
My question is that will sitting in hot water for an hour or longer be bad for my semen or kill it? Or is this not a bad thing to do. I want to stay in the hot water to purify myself and for my body to absorb the health giving salt.
I have read that if you stop masterbating you will stop producing semen and that the energy that was spent on semn production will be spent on repairing the health of the other bodily organs.
So even if the hot water does kill the semen, if I have stopped producing semen does it matter?
This page has given me increased hope that I will recover and that the decision I have made of my own accord has lead me into a new direction and I have found a new interest to study Brahmacharya.
This has given me a direction that I am very happy to have found, just like a blind man that has found some vision...
grt article. Fully agreed with d views expressed.

waiting for your reply,
Hello Raj
The habit of Masturbation is by the past inner vasana, try to understand the women's body is only a bag of blood, urin etc. Set the reminder for 3 (first) in your mobile like 1, 2 ,3 each days ,It will give you the confidence for the successful fullfilment of brahmacharya
Hello Well sisher,
which kind of reminder I need to set in my mobile. Please guide me on this.
Regards
hello vijith can you plz describr me how to stop nightfall? plz reply
Thank you well wisher. You are perfectly guiding all about celibacy. Keep on updating and be a guiding star for all. Pranam.
Hello Raj,
First go to the Option of Calender in Your mobile, You can see the days ,first click one day in your calender when you r wants to start brahmacharya and add a reminder like 1 (starting of my brahmacharya life) , next day u can add 2 or afer 5 days u can add the number of days of your brahmacharya life and then it becomes 30 days remark as 1 months completed like this set the reminder for 90 days or 3 months , 3 months of brahmacharya is necessary for change subtile semen stage into normal stage, after 3 months it can become ojas level.... and u can see the power of brahmacharya,
God bless u
Hi Sachin
Nightfall will be only after 3.30 a.m afterwards , try to wake up on 3.30 A.M as per the Shivananda sayings, Mula banda (a treasure for brahmacharis) can help you to stop nightfall. Try to read Bagavat Gita , or other inspiring brahmacharya quotes before you going to sleep .( I will describe you a new site on for brahmacharya:- first go to Google, type BRAHMACHARYA EXPERTS, click on first result, You can see "Dhananjay on the side of window click on him and see various quries and ask your doubt to him) okay
thank you
Y should u ppl live without basic needs like egg chicken and sex
you either have it or you don't.....so if you have it keep it and if you don't, be patient til you do. then keep it ;)
Dear Playboy
Egg, Chiken Sex etc is only for our body, not for us, As per the statement of Adi Shanakaracharya we are not body but "Soul", for drinking the nectar from the soul we have to reduce our concentration from food,sex and any thing which are mainly for our body and turn the concentration to us or soul
thank you
i did masturbating for eight years trying to give it up for last four year but never succeeded .now i am feeling mentally ill.what can i do now suggest me
I was addicted to masturbation from the age of 16 and even started spending all my money on prostitutes at 22. By the time I was 30, my life had deteriorated from an ambitious university-educated middle class nerd to a skinny gutter-dwelling degenerate. At 30 I decided to become celibate once and for all, and my life has improved so much it's almost amazing. I am stronger and smarter and fearless. I've lifted weights for seven years and I've transformed from a timid nerd to a surprisingly strong and confident nerd. If I don't wear my glasses I don't look like a nerd anymore. I still haven't recovered my former innocence, and I don't know if I even can in this lifetime; I did so many bad things before I became celibate. During the past year I had sex a few times with some girls I met online, but I've never masturbated since I turned 30. I will never marry and I will never have sex or masturbate again until I die. I hope I'm reborn into a better body and a better country in my next life.
its right
Hi Raj
Your great, becuase you are really thirsty for freedom from worldly sin, God will see u , all the slips you have by His Maya, You must promise him to give up all the channels which leads you to the worldly pleasure. Avoid Television, Interenet , anything which result in masturbation, . Now you are in danger zone, take care

A very interesting hub indeed. Now we all know what to do ... or better still, what not to do!
I faintly recall having read in a book on yoga that celebacy in combination with pranayama could be beneficial.
Thanks for the valuable information.
cheers!
