Do not take milk without mixing a little ginger with it. Avoid pungent, stimulating dishes, sauces, savories and pastries.

Rules for Brahmacharya

Few simple rules:

1. Boys and girls should be brought up simply and naturally in the full belief that they are and can remain innocent.
2. All should abstain from heating and stimulating foods, condiments such as chillies, fatty, and concentrated food such as fritters, sweets and fried substances.
3. Husband and wife should occupy separate rooms and avoid privacy.
4. Both body and mind should be constantly and healthily occupied.
5. Early to bed and early to rise should be strictly observed.
6. All unclean literature should be avoided. The antidote for unclean thoughts is clean thoughts.
7. Theatres, cinemas, etc., which tend to stimulate passion should be shunned.
8. Nocturnal dreams need not cause any anxiety. A cold bath every time for a fairly strong person is the finest preventive in such cases. It is wrong to say that an occasional indulgence is a safeguard against involuntary dreams.
9. Above all, one must not consider continence even as between husband and wife to be so difficult as to be practically impossible. On the contrary, self-restraint must be considered to be the ordinary and natural practice of life.
10. A heartfelt prayer every day for purity makes one progressively pure.

How is Semen Formed?

Virya or semen is a very precious constituent of the body. The formation of semen from food is a very lengthy process. Sri Sushrutacharya has written:

                                        रसािं ततो मांसं मांसान्मेदः ूजायते |  
                                 मेदःयािःथः ततो मज्जा मज्जाया: शुबसभंवः ||

When we eat food then the cycle begins:

1. “Out of food is formed chyle(a milky fluid containing fat droplets which drains from the lacteals of the small intestine into the lymphatic system during digestion).
2.  Out of chyle comes blood.
3.  Out of blood comes flesh.
4. Out of flesh comes fat. 
5. Out of fat comes bone
6. Out of bone comes marrow,
7. and out of marrow comes semen.”

•  Every step in the transformation of chyle into semen takes about five days. 
•  Thus semen is the final dhÍtu that is formed from food. In women, this final dhÍtu is called ovum.
•  Thus it is clear from Sushruthacharya‟s statement as to how semen is formed through a seven stage process; which is said to take approximately 30 days and 4 hours.
• Scientists state that the consumption of 32 kg of food produces 800 gm of blood, which in turn forms only 20 gm of semen.  

Just a sugar pervades the entire sugarcane and butter pervades milk, so also semen pervades the whole body. Just as buttermilk is thinned after the butter has been extracted, so also the semen is thinned by its wastage. The more the wastage of the semen, the more the physical and mental weakness.

In one Ejaculation 20gm of semen is wasted,now re think before wasting the precious element of the body.Preservation of semen takes you to LIFE and wasting to DEATH.

—Yajnavalkya

Thinking of a woman or her picture, praising a woman or her picture, sporting with a woman or her picture, glancing at a woman or her picture, secretly talking to a woman, thinking of a sinful action towards a woman actuated by sensuality, determining upon the sinful action, and bodily action resulting in the discharge of semen are the eight characteristics of copulation; and Brahmacharya is quite contrary to all these eight indications.

Victims of Bad Habits(Masturbation)

                                                                                                                               image for illustration purposes only

Unfortunately, in today‟s world, many people read pornographic literature, watch pornographic movies and become victims of unnatural sexual excitements. As a result, they lose their seminal energy many times a month in wet dreams or through acts like masturbation. Such habits lead to the emptying of their testicles.
 A lot of energy is needed to refill the empty testicles, thus sufficient semen is not available in the body to produce the ojas that gives vibrant health, strong will power and a sound mind.
Then devoid of good health, radiance and strength, such a person loses the enthusiasm for life. His semen becomes watery. If he fails to control himself before it is too late, then a stage will come when his testicles will stop producing semen altogether. Even if a little bit of semen is produced, it will just be a watery-thin liquid without the capacity to procreate. His life is then not even worth its name. He becomes a mere living carcass. He becomes afflicted with various diseases, and no medicine has any positive effect on him. He goes through a hellish suffering. The scriptures emphatically declare:

           आयुःतेजोबलं वीय ूज्ञा ौी महदयशः |            पुण्यं च ूीितमत्वं च हन्यतेऽॄचयार् ||

Non-observance of brahmacharya leads to loss of longevity, glory, strength, vigour, intellect, wealth, fame, virtues and pure love.‟ Therefore the practice of brahmacharya, i.e. conservation of semen, is most praiseworthy indeed.   

Incredible Powers of Brahmcharaya

• What is the Highest Penance?  
• What has been eulogized by the sages?
• What is the source of zeal, prosperity and supernatural powers? 
• What is the prime source of strength & bliss?

                Answer of all above questions is Brahmacharya 

• The dejected youth of today who suffer from dreaded diseases such as loss of semen and wet dreams and losing their power. 
• In a class we may have 30 students. One comes first and the other last. Have we ever imagined why all the students do not come first! The teacher was the same... the education was the same,why because some how he/she might have wastes his precious energy in a form of semen by getting in some trap of lust.

Preservation of Semen Promotes Longevity:

Semen is like the emperor of this bodily kingdom. If this king is strong and powerful, enemies in the form of diseases can never attack this kingdom. Diseases afflict the body only if the semen, the king, is weak. This is why it is written in the scriptures:

                          मरणं िबन्दोपातेन जीवनं िबन्दधारणातु ् |

“Death is hastened by expending semen and life is prolonged by its preservation.”

  Jain scriptures term the lack of brahmacharya as a grave sin. 

                              अबंभचिरयं घोरं पमायं दरिहिठ्ठयमु ् |

`Non observance of brahmacharya is a grave sin.‟     (The Dasha Vaikalika Sutra : 6.17) 

In „Ayurveda‟, brahmacharya is considered to be the source of supreme power: „Brahmacharya is the Supreme strength.‟ 

Lord Shiva has even gone to the extent of saying that it is only due to the power of brahmacharya that He has attained such an elevated state of glory:
