The Yogic Teachings of Brahmacharya (Celibacy) by Swami Sivananda

In the ancient yogic tradition, Brahmacharya is not mere abstinence—it is the art of conserving, purifying, and transforming vital energy for higher consciousness. This timeless discipline, emphasized by sages and yogis for thousands of years, remains profoundly relevant in today's world of distraction and depletion.

Inspired by the spiritual teachings of Swami Sivananda Saraswati, this book presents a clear, practical, and modern understanding of celibacy and semen conservation from a yogic and philosophical perspective. It explains how sexual energy (Veerya) can be consciously preserved and sublimated into Ojas Shakti—the source of mental clarity, willpower, vitality, and spiritual insight.

Rather than promoting repression or fear, this book emphasizes self-mastery, discipline, and intelligent living. Readers will discover how uncontrolled desire weakens the mind, while Brahmacharya strengthens character, sharpens intellect, stabilizes emotions, and supports deep meditation.

This work is written for:

Spiritual seekers and yogic aspirants
Students and householders seeking self-control
Readers interested in semen retention from a spiritual lens
Anyone exploring ancient Indian wisdom for modern life

Written in simple, direct language, the book bridges classical yogic philosophy and contemporary understanding, making it accessible without diluting its depth.

Brahmacharya is not denial—it is power under conscious direction.

This book serves as a guide for those who seek inner strength, purity of mind, and lasting spiritual growth.
