Please accept my respectful obeisances.Hare Krsna to All Serious Brahmacharis.I Wish to Share with You Some of My Good Realizations That I Have of Brahmacharya Or Celibacy For the Last 22 Years and How Important it is To Preserve Semen. I was Born In a Gujarati Brahmana Family in Mombasa Kenya East Africa. I am now 50 Years Old and Live here in London and Work for the British Library.My Parents Worshipped Lord Siva and Ramacandra. When I came in Touch with Srila Prabhupada’s Books in 1976 was the Time I Began to Realize the Supreme Position of Lord Krsna that Krsna is Svayam-Bhagavan and the Source of the Trimurti Brahma Visnu and Siva. However at that time in 1976 When I was 16 I was Serious About Chanting or Following of the 4 Regulative Principles of Krsna Consciousness.Real Change Came In My Life in 1988 When I was 28 years Old. I Seriously Started to Study Srila Prabhupada’s Books Especially His Bhagavad-Gita and Srimad-Bhagavatam. By Carefully Studying Srimad-Bhagavatam I Developed the Taste for Chanting the Hare Krsna Maha Mantra and to Seriously Follow the 4 Regulative Principles Of No Eating of Meat Fish or Eggs No Intoxications No Gambling and No Illicit Sex. I also Gave up Eating of Onions and Garlic. Later On I Developed the Taste to Seriously Practice Brahmacharya or Celibacy Very Very Seriously Till My Death. This Practice Of Brahmacharya or Celibacy became a very Natural Part of My Life. I Began to Realize the Great Importance of Preserving Semen Very Strictly. According to Ayurveda It Takes the Essence of 80 Drops of Pure Blood to Produce Just One Drop of Semen.Semen is Very Very Valuable and Should Never be Wasted. The Only Real Purpose to Discharge Semen is To Produce A Krsna Conscious Child. A Man Becomes Very Weak in Body and Brain By Discharging Semen. Unfortunately People of this Age of Kali Yuga Does Not Realize the Great Value of Preserving Semen.One Cannot Advance Spritually Without the Practice of Strict Brahmacharya or Celibacy. Unless One Practices Brahmacharya or Celibacy Advancement in Spritual Life is Very Difficult. One Who Can Completely Control Sex Life is able To Work Wonderfully with His Brain Especially in Remembering. Wasting Semen is also Illicit Sex.For Maintaining Brahmacharya or Celibacy Good Brahmachari Association Helps a Lot. Brahmacharis Should Maintain Very Strong Sadhana Bhakti If they are Serious To Practice Brahmacharya or Celibacy.We Should Practice Brahmacharya or Celibacy Very Very Seriously For our Whole Life Till Death If it is Very Natural and We Feel Very Happy.We Just have to be Very Honest with Ourselves.Srila Prabhupada Always Encouraged Brahmachari Life. Srila Prabhupada also Requested those Devotees Who Were Not able to Sincerely Continue with Brahmachari Life to Become Honest and Responsible Grhasthas.Our Goal in Krsna Consciousness is to Attain to Pure Love of Krsna.A Real Serious Sadhu Always Remains an Unbroken Celibate for His Whole Life. Why Waste Time and Energy in Grhastha Life? Today in Kali Yuga So Many Grhasthas have Problems with their Wives and Children. Better to Remain a Serious and Simple Brahmachari. I would Like to Tell all the Brahmacharis that Please Try to Remain Serious Brahmacharis For Whole Life.A Serious Brahmachari Becomes Very Intelligent and Knowledgeable By Practicing Strict Brahmacharya or Celibacy. The Great Benefit Of Brahmacharya or Celibacy and Of Preserving Semen Strictly is that Our Memories Becomes Very Strong and Sharp. Brahmacharya or Celibacy is Also Very Good For Our Health.I Have Personally Seen all these Benefits in the Last 22 Years. We Should Very Strictly Avoid the Association of Women. A Woman is Compared to Fire and Man to Butter.Butter Melts in the Association or Contact with Fire. We Should meditate on the Great Benefits of Remaining a Celibate and Disadvantages of Becoming a Householder. Success Comes to those Who are Very Sincere in their Goal. The Most Important Organ to Control is to Control Our Tongue. Srila Prabhupada explains that If One Can Control His Tongue then He can Easily Control other Senses The Belly and the Genitals. Best to Take Strictly Only Krsna Prasadam. Avoid Spicy Subjis and Sweets at Night. Best to Keep our Minds Always Engaged in the Service of Krsna. Idle Mind is a Devil’s Workshop. Daily Chanting Very Attentively Strictly Following the 4 Regulative Principles Study Srila Prabhupada’s Books Very Carefully Daily for 2 Hours Especially His Srimad-Bhagavatam and By Maintaining Good Brahmachari Association Life of Brahmacharya or Celibacy and Preserving Semen Becomes Natural. There is Nothing Unique about A Woman’s Beauty.Flesh Blood Urine Stool Pus Mucus and other Disgusting Ingredients of this Body are all Very Expertly Sealed By a Very thin Layer of Skin By Mayadevi. There is No Sex Life in a Spirit Soul. Sex Life Steals Away One’s Intelligence and Puts One Completely On the Bodily Platform. A Man Has No Power of Discrimination When He Indulges in Sex and Waste His Semen. Brahmacharya or Celibacy is Very Good and Beneficial for the Body and Brain.Sex Can Never Give Anyone any Real Happiness. Prostitutes Have Sex 5 to 10 Times in a Day and Yet they are the Most Unhappy People in the World. When We Develop A Serious Higher Spritual Goal then It Becomes Very Easy to Give Up the Lower Pleasures of the Senses. Sense Control is a Must in Order to Advance Spritually.Srila Prabhupada Explains In One Purport of the Srimad-Bhagavatam that Sex Life Whether Licit or Illicit is Practically the Same.Chanting Upto 64 Rounds is Very Good if there is Time. So Many Great Saints and sages of Bharata or India Have Highly Praised Brahmacharya or Celibacy and How Valuable it is To Strictly Preserve Semen. We Should take Serious Lessons From Them.Srila Prabhupada explains in Srimad-Bhagavatam that If Semen is Not Discharged Unnecessarily One Becomes Extremely Strong in Memory Determination Activity and the Vitality of One’s Bodily Energy. Semen is the Real Energy in a Man.I Would Conclude here and Would Love to Hear the Wisdom and Realizations of other Brahmacharis.

Thank you for sharing your inspiring life.
I am also trying to control my senses and abstain from sex life, but it is really difficult specially following all the 8 Limbs of brahmcharya.
