Celibacy and Spirituality

[Guest guest]

The text below is taken from chapter 11 " Women and

Brahmacharya " of the ebook titled " Practice of

Brahamacharya " by Swami Sivananda of Divine Life

An aspirant writes: " I would like to know whether the

same theory regarding the formation of Veerya and loss

of the same holds good in the case of women also. Are

they actually affected to the same extent as men? " The

question is an important and pertinent one. Yes,

indulgence in the sexual act is exhausting to the

female system and a drain upon the vitality as in man.

The nervous strain it imposes on the system is very

great indeed.

 

The female gonads, the ovaries corresponding to the

testes in the males, produce, develop and mature

precious, vital force like semen. This is the ovum.

Though the woman does not actually lose this out of

her body, as in the case of semen in man, yet, due to

the sexual act, it leaves the ovaries and is taken up

in the process of conception to form the embryo. And

one knows only too well what a strain and drain on

strength child-bearing is to a woman. Repeated

depletion of this force and the strain of childbirth

makes wrecks of healthy ladies, and works havoc with

their strength, beauty and grace as well as their

youth and mental power. Eyes lose the lustre and

sparkle that are indicative of the inner forces.

 

The intense sensuous excitement of the act shatters

the nervous system and causes debility too. Their

system being more delicate and high-strung, females

are often more affected than men.

 

Women should preserve their precious vital force. The

ovum and the hormones secreted by the ovaries are very

essential for the maximum physical and mental

well-being of women.

 

Women also should observe the vow of celibacy.
