| | |  Celibacy: Hindu view
on CelibacyHinduism and Celibacy Hinduism considers celibacy (brahmacharya) as an important virtue and an essential aspect of spiritual life. In ancient India, students who were engaged in the study of the Vedas and Brahman were exhorted to observe strict celibacy. Since control of desires was considered essential for self realization and sexual desire being the ultimate of all desires, observation of celibacy became an important feature of Hindu spiritualism. The idea that a student of Brahman should be a strict celibate became so ingrained in the mind of people that over a period of time the word Brahmacharya became synonymous more with the idea of celibacy than with that of the study of Brahman.

| | |  Celibacy: Sex Is Not CompulsoryCelibacy: Sex Is Not Compulsory Most of the sex advice books written during 1960s underlined the idea that the world could be saved by sex - without, of course, enduring the messy and inconvenient complications of an unwanted pregnancy. Many therapists of that era encouraged their neurotic and mentally disturbed patients to 'find themselves' and become better balanced individuals through positive experiences of sex. Sometimes, surrogate partners would be provided for the purpose. We liked to believe then that much mental illness as well, resulted from long-held repressions, and that these could be released through sex. Read more here: » Celibacy: Sex Is Not Compulsory |

Tantric CelibacyTantric Celibacy: Going All the Way With Tantric Celibacy Tantric yoga, as a system of rituals, exercises, and philosophical teachings, was developed over the past 2,500 years in a practical search for profound feeling and awareness. Just as a modern scientist might spend years on a single research problem, tantric yogis might dwell on a certain feeling for hours a day, plumbing its every nuance and what it told them about existence. They became experts in the arts of feeling and concentration. Read more here: » Tantric Celibacy: Going All the Way With

| | | | Celibacy: How to Keep Up Brahmacharya "A Brahmachari should avoid looking at a woman with lustful eyes. He should not have a desire to touch her or go near her with evil intention. He should not play, cut jokes or talk with her. He should not praise a woman's qualities within himself or to his friends." From "Easy Steps to Yoga" by Sri Swami Sivananda.

| | | | Celibacy: Glory of Brahmacharya Abstinence or continence is the corner-stone or foundation on which the pedestal of Moksha stands. If the foundation is not very strong, the superstructure will fall down when there is heavy rain. Even so if you are not established in Brahmacharya, if your mind is agitated by evil thoughts, you will fall down. You cannot reach the summit of the ladder of Yoga or the highest Nirvikalpa Samadhi. From "Easy Steps to Yoga" by Sri Swami Sivananda. Read more here: » Brahmacharya: Glory of Brahmacharya |

| | | | Celibacy: Power of Lust There is no hope for you to have Self-realisation or knowledge of the Self if you are not well established in Brahmacharya. Brahmacharya is the master-key to open the realms of eternal bliss. Brahmacharya is the very foundation of Yoga. Just as a house that is built on a rotten foundation will surely fall down, so also you will fall down from your meditation if you have laid no proper foundation, viz., the attainment of perfect Brahmacharya. From "Easy Steps to Yoga" by Sri Swami Sivananda. Read more here: » Brahmacharya: Power of Lust |
