Latest Videos by Vijay Kumar on Brahmacharya kya hai - What is Celibacy (a must see)

Practising celibacy until marriage is and was an accepted norm in Indian culture but in present times of Kali Yuga... Dark Age... metal age cases of young children indulging in sexual acts before marriage is becoming common! To think of stopping people from sexual indulgence before marriage seems out of place. For a few moments of physical pleasure people were willing to mar their future permanently. Times have changed... so have the attitude of mankind!

Indulging in physical celibacy was accepted by society for many reasons! As celibacy and health were directly related... it was preferable abstaining from a sexual relationship before marriage! To maintain perfect health... to maintain almost infinite level of immunity from bodily diseases voluntary celibacy... act of Brahmacharya Vrata was advocated in Indian society. Even in good Christian families... abstinence from a sexual relationship was preferred before marriage.

Were there any disadvantages in practising celibacy until marriage? Were there any side effects of celibacy? Could celibacy be practiced harmlessly without any feeling of guilt! The practice of Brahmacharya Vrata in Hinduism... was it only meant for travellers of spiritual path? Celibacy before marriage definitely was preferable to excessive indulgence in a sexual relationship! By whiling away this most precious cosmic energy through pure physical channels... we truly lost complete picture of life! We rather became pawn in the hands of time... our destiny!

As advised in varied holy books of Hinduism... practice of absolute celibacy before marriage was an absolute asset! By preserving sexual energy... most potent of all cosmic energies made available to mankind by God Almighty... we not only took absolute charge of life... rather manifested destiny forever! Advantages of practising celibacy were multifold. Indulging in indiscriminate sex was never advisable before marriage!

By refraining from sexual indulgence... by channelizing our sexual energy towards the only goal of life... human beings finally took total charge of life. If we are to succeed in life... our indulgence in practice of celibacy until marriage was an absolute must! Celibacy was equally important for both men and women. Practice of celibacy was the only way to gain absolute success in life. Ask any successful entrepreneur world over... answer would always be the same!

Taking a vow of celibacy in early stages of life is extremely beneficial... not only for travellers of spiritual path but for commoners... masses! By practising celibacy we definitely came nearer to god. It is practice of celibacy that finally led human beings towards the ultimate goal of life... stage of enlightenment and finally moksha salvation! In absence of practice of Brahmacharya Vrata... absolute celibacy no human being on mother earth could ever reach stage of enlightenment!

If human beings reached stage of enlightenment just by practice of absolute celibacy for a period of 12 years in continuation... imagine what benefits it must hold for those who indulged in celibacy until marriage! Celibacy was never a taboo... nor were there any disadvantages of practising celibacy! Celibacy has always been preferred by sages and saints of different era... more so in Hinduism! Truly celibacy was a boon in disguise.

Many human beings world over interpreted celibacy wrongly! Many thought that practising voluntary celibacy led to many diseases later in life. This was a wrong surmise. Celibacy never leads to any serious problems in life except that it guided us towards our only goal of life... if we had any! No matter how we practiced celibacy... it would never lead to any complications whatsoever! The practice of Brahmacharya Vrata in Hinduism truly was inspired by God Almighty!

It is practising celibacy in right earnestness... man gods like Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and prophet Mohammed finally gained enlightenment in their lifetime. In recent times... both Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana reached God in their lifetime by practising celibacy... Brahmacharya Vrata in true earnestness!

Human beings who truly practiced celibacy until marriage experienced a successful happy married life! Those suffering from excessive sexual indulgence... never experienced happiness that truly came from within! For experiencing intermittent stages of bliss... for leading a happy married life... we must always practice celibacy until marriage... no matter what! That was how God Almighty ordained human life to be.
