Guest guest Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Dear Arnab, Celibacy is adhering bramacharya in word,mind and activities. In Hinduism Jnanis have termed that every Hindu shoud adhere celibacy atleast 35 yrs from his birth. Urs brotherly, Sendhil Kumar Arnab Dutta <arnabik9 wrote: What is celibacy?

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Dear Arnab, If you go through the archives, you will see that we have already discussed on this issue under the head, " Brahmacharya " . However I will raise one point here. People are usually extremely scared of the term " celibacy " . They feel that it means absolute turning away from physical desires. But this is not necessarily so. Celibacy means self control. In this new avatar it takes an entirely new meaning. It means the development of the mind, heart and emotions so that the physical does not get out of control. It is essentially the strengthening of ones character by not allowing baser elements of any kind to dominate ones overall makeup. They will be there yes, but under control. Swami Sivananda of Divine Life Society and also Mahatma Gandhi have written extensively on this subject. You can refer to their books or search for them in the internet. While writing the above I am not referring to the Order of the Monks. Regards, Jagannath.
