I’ll check this out. This is thought provoking. Death is the greatest teacher; nothing beyond it. Iam a disciple of death; throughout my life I’ve used it to push myself harder. Thanks bro @anon65589122
That’s great man you have already been using it. Yeah I guess reminder of death is the most powerful thing.

We got this bro @_TIGER , keep grinding. Day by day we are becoming stronger and sharper. Be focused, stay sharp. Remember this time we have everything at stake. This battle is our final one in the forum; through this final fight we will get to the other side. By practicing real brahmacharya we’ll reach the blissfulness of a new born child. Just keep moving forward.

If you can remain as an Akhanda Brahmachari, an unbroken celibate, for a period of twelve years, you will realize God immediately without any further Sadhana. You will have achieved the goal of life. Mark the word ‘Akhanda’.
Seminal energy is a potent Sakti. Semen is Brahman Itself. A Brahmachari who has practiced unbroken celibacy for full twelve years will attain to the Nirvikalpa state the moment he hears the Mahavakya, “Tat Tvam Asi”, because his mind will be extremely pure, strong and one-pointed.
An Akhanda Brahmachari, who, for a period of twelve years, has not allowed even a drop of semen to come out, will enter into Samadhi without any effort. Prana and mind are under his perfect control. Bala Brahmacharya is a synonymous term for Akhanda Brahmacharya. An Akhanda Brahmachari has strong Dharana Sakti, Smriti Sakti and Vichara Sakti—power of grasping, retentive memory and power of enquiry. He need not practice Manana and Nididhyasana, reflection and meditation. If he hears the Mahavakya even once, he will at once achieve Self-realization. His intellect is pure, and his understanding is extremely clear. Akhanda Brahmacharins are very, very rare; but there are some. You also can become an Akhanda Brahmachari if you attempt in right earnest.
You will have to be very careful of reaction. The Indriyas that are put under restraint for some months, or one or two years, become rebellious if you are not always vigilant and careful. They revolt and drag you out when opportunities arise. Some people who observe Brahmacharya for one or two years become more passionate and waste the energy considerably in the end. Some become incorrigible moral wrecks also.
Mere matted hair and application of ashes to the forehead and the body cannot make one an Akhanda Brahmachari. That Brahmachari who has controlled the physical body and the physical Indriyas, but who constantly dwells on sexual thoughts, is a confirmed hypocrite. He should never be trusted. He may become a menace at any time
I don’t care much about the religious aspect of Brahmacharya. But I strongly, with 100% faith, believe that this works. Lust is the no. reason of our downfall. Today’s world is filled with extreme hypocrisy. People do things to fulfill their lust and gain sex or female attraction.
There is way out and that is through virya and sublimation of sexual energy
Extreme patience, constant vigilance, perseverance and rigorous sadhana is required bro @_TIGER
Some practices to achieve brahmacharya from the book that I am reading now:
Fasting
restriction in diet
pranayama
japa
kirtan
meditation
vichara or enquiry of “who I am?”
pratyahara or abstraction
dama or self restraint
asanas
bandhas
mudras
thought control and destruction of vasanas
As I read more I’ll give more updates and explanation if you are interested bro @_TIGER
@Tagore awesome ! I want to do fasting .but I know how to do this? I can’t work properly without 3 meals.
And I am not doing any pranayam…
Looking at you guys makes me jealous
And Jealousy is a great motivator for me
I got to push harder now.
We are together bro @Nep_12 . Slow and steady; we are in the right path now.
These points of brahmacharya are important but I personally don’t believe in avoiding all contacts with woman bro. Brahmacharya is a spiritual journey to attain self realization and atman. In my view, it is a state of mind; even when we are around woman our mind shouldn’t be filled with lust. We mustn’t do anything anything for sex or female attraction.
When lust leaves our mind pure blissfulness + innocence of a child reappears. Remember men like Swami Vivekanada. I recently read a story of him: while doing a speech in America one woman got sexually attracted to him. She tried to seduce him and asked him to marry her. He replied with blazing eyes and praying hands: "mother, bless me."
That is brahmacharya. Think about it bro. I started fapping i.e. starting wasting my virya from class 7 onwards. From that year onwards insecurities, fear, real pain entered my life. Before i started this habit i was innocent like a child. Once we preserve and transmute this atomic, sexual energy we’ll become Gods. Look at numerous Indian sages. In my view, Gandhi got the power to provide freedom for our country with the help of Brahmacharya.
Are you interested in brahmacharya or celibacy bro @Nep_12 ?
My dear brothers! The vital energy, the Veerya that supports your life, which is the Prana of Pranas, which shines in your sparkling eyes, which beams in your shining cheeks, is a great treasure for you. Remember this point well. Veerya is the quintessence of blood. One drop of semen is manufactured out of forty drops of blood. Mark here how valuable this fluid is!
A tree draws the essence or Rasa from the earth. This essence is circulated throughout the tree, its twigs, branches, leaves, flowers and fruits. The shining colours and life in the leaves, flowers and fruits are due to this Rasa. Similarly, the Veerya that is manufactured by the cells of the testes out of blood gives colour and vitality to the human body and its different organs.
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 intellect and the heart undeveloped, cannot expect to have full Brahmacharya. He can have Brahmacharya of the body only, but not of the mind and the heart. The semen that belongs to the heart and the mind will certainly flow out. If an aspirant does only Japa and meditation, if he does not develop the heart, and if he does not practice physical exercise, he will have only mental Brahmacharya. The portion of the semen, which goes to nourish the heart and the body, will flow out. But an advanced Yogi who dives deep in meditation will have full Brahmacharya even if he does not take physical exercise.
Semen is the quintessence of food or blood. One drop of semen in manufactured out of forty drops of blood according to modern medical science. According to Ayurveda, it is elaborated out of eighty drops of blood. The two testes or seeds that are located in the scrotal bag are called secretory glands. The cells of these testes have been endowed with the peculiar property of secreting semen from the blood. Just as bees collect honey in the honeycomb drop by drop, so also, the cells of the testes collect semen drop by drop from the blood. Then this fluid is taken by the two ducts or tubes to the vesiculae seminalis. Under excitement, it is thrown out by special ducts, called ejaculatory ducts, into the urethra where it is mixed with the prostatic juice.
Semen is found in a subtle state in all the cells of the body. Just as sugar is all-pervading in the sugar-cane, butter in milk, so also, semen is pervading the whole body. Just as the butter milk is thin after the butter is removed, so also, semen is thinned by its wastage. The more the wastage of semen the more is the weakness. In the Yoga Sastras it is said:
Maranam Bindu Patanat,
Jivanam Bindu Rakshanat.
Falling of semen brings death; preservation of semen gives life. Semen is the real vitality in men. It is the hidden treasure in man. It imparts Brahma-Tejas to the face and strength to the intellect
Source: Practice of Brahmacharya (1934)
Eminent European medical men also support the statement of the Yogins of India. Dr. Nicole says: “It is a medical and physiological fact that the best blood in the body goes to form the elements of reproduction in both the sexes. In a pure and orderly life, this matter is reabsorbed. It goes back into circulation ready to form the finest brain, nerve and muscular tissues. This vital fluid of man carried back and diffused through his system makes him manly, strong, brave and heroic. If wasted, it leaves him effeminate, weak and physically debilitated and prone to sexual irritation and disordered function, a wretched nervous system, epilepsy, and various other diseases and death. The suspension of the use of the generative organs is attended with a notable increase of bodily and mental and spiritual vigour.”
If the spermatic secretion in men is continuous, it must either be expelled or be reabsorbed. As a result of the most patient and persevering scientific investigations, it has been found that whenever the seminal secretions are conserved and thereby reabsorbed into the system, it goes towards enriching the blood and strengthening the brain. Dr. Dio Louis thinks that the conservation of this element is essential to strength of body, vigour of mind and keenness of intellect. Another writer, Dr. E.P. Miller, says: “All waste of spermatic secretions, whether voluntary or involuntary, is a direct waste of the life force. It is almost universally conceded that the choicest element of the blood enters into the composition of the spermatic secretion. If these conclusions are correct, then it follows that a chaste life is essential to man’s well-being.”…
