Guest guest Posted December 13, 1999 Report Share Posted December 13, 1999 reto n€vakirej j€tu brahma-vrata-dharaƒ svayam avak…rŠe 'vag€hy€psu yat€sus tri-pad€ˆ japet One observing the vow of celibate brahmacari life should never pass semen. If the semen by chance spills out by itself, the brahmacari should immediately take bath in water, control his breath by pranayama and chant the Gayatri mantra. One who lives with a wife lives at home, otherwise a sannyasi or brahmacari, even though he may live in a room or in a house, does not live at home. That they did not live at home means that they did not accept a wife, and so there was no question of their discharging semen. Semen is meant to be discharged when one has a home, a wife and the intention to beget children, otherwise there is no injunction for discharging semen."
