2. Swami Vivekananda attributed his phenomenal mental

powers to a lifelong observance of brahmacharya.A few
days ago, a new set of the Encyclopedia Britannica had been A R HI V Ă B L O G

asked in wonder, “Have you read all these books?” Swamiji: and other important ...

myself to believe in these words. Who can come by that ► martie (30)
oratorical power of expounding philosophy which you have?
► februarie (1 01 )
Swamiji: You don’t know! That power may come to all. That
power comes to him who observes unbroken Brahmacharya for
a period of twelve years, with the sole object of realising God I DES P R E M I NE
have practiced that kind of Brahmacharya myself, and so a

screen has been removed, as it were, from my brain. For that
reason, I need not any more think over or prepare myself for any V I Z UA LI Z A Ţ I P R O FI LUL M EU C O M P LET

lectures on such a subtle subject as philosophy. Suppose I

have to lecture tomorrow; all that I shall speak about will pass
tonight before my eyes like so many pictures; and the next day
I put into words during my lecture all those things that I saw. So
you will understand now that it is not any power which is
exclusively my own. Whoever will practice unbroken
Brahmacharya for twelve years will surely have it. If you do so,
you too will get it. Our Shâstras do not say that only such and
such a person will get it and not others!

4. The chaste brain has tremendous energy and gigantic will

power. Without chastity there can be no spiritual
strength. Continence giv es wonderful control ov er
mankind.

The spiritual leaders of men hav e been v ery continent and

this is what gav e them power.

5. Ev ery boy should be trained to practice absolute

Brahmachary a and then, and then alone faith and Shraddha
will come. Chastity in thought, word and deed alway s and in
all conditions is what is called Brahmachary a. Unchaste
imagination is as bad as unchaste action. The Brahmacharin
must be pure in thought, word and deed.

6. First of all, one must completely mould one’s religious life

in solitude, must be perfect in renunciation and m ust
preserv e Brahm achary a without a break. The Tamas
has entered into y ou — what of that? Cannot the Tamas be
destroy ed? It can be done in less than no time!

7 . What we want are Western science coupled with V edanta,

Brahmachary a as the guiding motto, and also Shraddha and
faith in one’s own self.
8. Knowledge should be acquired in that way , otherwise by
educating y ourself in the tol of a Pandit y ou will be only a
human ape all y our life. One should liv e from his v ery
boy hood with one whose character is like a blazing fire and

brahmachary a84.blogspot.in/2009/04/1-swami-v iv ekananda.html 2/9

11/7/12 brahmachary a: 1. Swami Viv ekananda.

should hav e before him a liv ing ex ample of the highest

teaching. Mere reading that it is a sin to tell a lie will be of no
use. Ev ery boy should be trained to practice absolute
Brahmachary a, and then, and then only , faith — Shraddha —
will come. Otherwise, why will not one who has no Shraddha
speak an untruth? In our country , the imparting of
knowledge has alway s been through men of renunciation.
Later, the Pandits, by monopolising all knowledge and
restricting it to the tols, hav e only brought the country to
the brink of ruin. India had all good prospects so long as
Ty agis (men of renunciation) used to impart knowledge.
9. But whatev er be the order of genesis, the celibate teachers
of the Shrutis and Smritis stand on an entirely different
platform from the married ones, which is perfect chastity ,
Brahmachary a.
1 0. Founders of all good undertakings, before they launch on
their desired work, must attain to the knowledge of the
Atman through rigorous self - discipline. Otherwise defects
are bound to occur in their work.
1 1 . Our motherland requires for her well-being some of her
children to become such pure-souled Brahmacharins and
Brahmacharinis.
1 2. Teach the boy s the sy stem of Brahmachary a.
1 3. In order to attain to ideal Brahmachary a one has in the
beginning to observ e strict rules regarding chastity . For
minimum 1 2 y ears, one should keep oneself strictly aloof
from the least association with the opposite sex as far as
possible. When spiritual aspirants are established in the
ideal of Sanny asa and brahmachary a, they will be able to
mix on an equal footing with worldly men without any
harm. But in the beginning 1 2 y ears, if they do not keep
themself within the barriers of strict rules, they will all go
wrong.
1 4. People here (in USA) hav e found a new ty pe of man in me.
Ev en the orthodox are at their wit’s end. And people are
now looking up to me with an ey e of rev erence. Is there a
greater strength than that of Brahmachary a — purity , my
boy ?
1 5. Describing the Indian ideal of Brahmachary a in the
student’s life, Swami V iv ekananda said:

“Brahmachary a should be like a burning fire within the

v eins!”

1 6. The Sanskrit name for a student, Brahmacharin, is

sy nony mous with the Sanskrit word Kamajit. (One who has

11/7/12 brahmachary a: 1. Swami Viv ekananda.

full control ov er his passions.) Our goal of life is Moksha;

how can that be ev er attained without Brahmachary a or
absolute continence? Hence it is imposed upon our boy s
and y outh as an indispensable condition during their
studentship. The purpose of life in the West is Bhoga,
enjoy ment; hence much attention to strict Brahmachary a is
not so indispensably necessary with them as it is with us.
1 7 . Obedience to the Guru without questioning, and strict
observ ance of Brahmachary a — this is the secret of success.
1 8. In his Raja Y oga, the Swami ex plains that through
brahmachary a sex energy is conv erted into a higher form of
psy chic energy called ‘ojas.’(Ojas, literally meaning the
‘illuminating’ or ‘bright’ is the highest form of energy in the
human body . In the spiritual aspirant who constantly
practises continence and purity , other forms of energy are
transmuted into ojas and stored in the brain, ex pressing as
spiritual and intellectual power). He say s, “The y ogis say
that part of the human energy which is ex pressed as sex
energy , in sex ual thought, when checked and controlled
easily becomes changed into ojas, and as the Muladhara
(lowest of the six centers of consciousness) guides these,
the y ogi pay s particular attention to that centre. He tries to
take up all his sex ual energy and conv ert it into ojas.
It is only the chaste man or woman who can make the ojas
rise and store it in the brain; that is why chastity has alway s
been considered the highest v irtue. A man feels that if he is
unchaste, spirituality goes away , he loses mental v igour and
moral stamina. That is why in all the religious orders in the
world which hav e produced spiritual giants y ou alway s find
absolute chastity insisted upon. That is why the monks
came into ex istence, giv ing up marriage. There must be
perfect chastity in thought, word and deed; without it the
practice of Raja Y oga is dangerous, and may lead to
insanity . If people practise Raja Y oga and at the same time
lead an impure life, how can they ex pect to become y ogis?”
1 9. Disciple: Do y ou think, sir, the same consummation would
be reached through the way Mataji is educating her
students? These students would soon grow up and get
married and would presently shade into the likeness of all
other women of the common run. So I think, if these girls
might be made to adopt Brahmachary a, then only could
they dev ote their liv es to the cause of the country ’s
progress and attain to the high ideals preached in our
sacred books.Swamiji: Y es, ev ery thing will come about in
time. Such educated men are not y et born in this country ,

punishment.

Dr.Siddharth Gundecha
The site brahmachary a-celibacy .blogspot.com seems to
contain unauthentic and wrong information on
Brahmachary a. It's better to obtain information from
authentic people like Swami V iv ekananda in my opinion
and not from the so called spiritual teachers of today who
misguide people. Thanks a lot for Swami V iv ekananda's
ideas on Bramachary a.

Brahmachary a can be difficult, one needs to build v ery
strong base, and hav e a constant access to the information
of what makes Brahmachary a worthy of practise. Being
born in the West, as an av erage ignorant peasant ty pe
person, makes for a straight up-hill battle. The heart knows
about Brahmachary a though, and seeks the most peaceful
state, while remaining compassionate towards surronding
beings.
