The point made here is one should not only be physically active in Krsna

Consciousness but also absorb his mind & heart in remembering about Krsna

and experience the higher taste always especially by chanting Hare Krsna in

the early morning hours. Then automatically the veerya is raised to the

brain and it transforms into ojus shakti. This is a byproduct of chanting

Hare Krsna. The main aim is to get love of God.

I would say that especially in Western countries (or for that matter

anywhere) one should be very careful about association with the opposite

sex. If such dealings becomes a regular affair and lead to familiarity then

the downflow of semen is guaranteed. The dealings of a brahmacari with the

opposite sex should be as close to zero as possible. A brahmacari should not

at all be interested in preaching to ladies.

 

ISKCON's SP Letter, 7/4/70: "He didn't like very much preaching amongst

women." (SP about his Guru Maharaj)

 

Prabhupada also said that ISKCON is facing so many problems inspite of

having a perfect acarya & perfect books because the sannyasis & brahmacaries

associate too much with women.

 

There is no stricture that brahmacaris cannot preach to women, but after a

woman's interest in Krsna consciousness is aroused, it is better that

further preaching to her be done by women devotees. Otherwise, if a

brahmacari repeatedly preaches to the same woman, the fire and butter

principle is sure to act. (From BIKC by Bhakti Vikasa Swami)

 

> Is this just repetition or it should be:

> If the Veerya is steady, the drishti is steady too.?

 

Unsteady drishti also makes the veerya unsteady and unsteady veerya will

lead to agitated drishthi.

 

> For the perfect cicle of

> steadyness:Prana(food)-mind-veerya-drishti-mind...

 

I think it should be:

 

Disturbed Mind - Disturbed Drishthi - Unsteady Prana (10 lifeairs) -

Unsteady Veerya - Which in turn makes the Mind even more disturbed...
