Hey Joseph !! Myself from India, I am a practicing Brahmachari, and the book is none other than Srimad Bhagavad Gita, which is holy book of Hindus which is similar to "Bible" for Christians and "Krishna" is like eternal and most profound god for Hindus, just like Jesus Christ, it is in his own words that this book is written, I highly encourage you to read through it as there is lot of mystical and mysterious information in it with regards to human existence, life and mind, it's like a "life manual" not only for Hindus, but for every person who wants to know his existence on this planet and whatever problems each and everyone of us faces is all clearly mentioned in Gita as a solution.... I highly encourage you to give it a read, it will highly awaken your inner spirits and also enlighten you... Hare Krishna🙏🙏
It also mentions a lot about principles of modern science like Newton's 3rd law, multiverse and also some of atomic physics principles, scientists from all round the world seek it's knowledge and use it's reference for their research... Many scientists like Einstein and Oppenheimer have famously quoted Bhagavadgita for their findings in case of Theory of Relativity and also Nuclear bomb testing respectively.....
I find the best result I got from Sr is when I included not watching screens at all for entertainment, like no TV, youtube and Sr gave me super excited energy after like 15 days
yeah basically dopamine fast. so no cheap dopamine from mainstream entertainment and videogames etc., it is good for resetting the brain to natural state which enjoys simply being alive.
Apparently, Jesus from age 12 to around 30 years old, studied in Egypt, Tibet and India. He learned about healing, reincarnation and other things as well.
Thank you for sharing this ❤
Very scholarly as usual!
bro your actually right on the nail head with your teachings man.
No “detest” is indeed the correct word. You become like a small boy who finds intimate contact with a girl as “yucky”. You become like an innocent child again
God is inside of everything and everywhere. How is this? All is energy, vibration, and frequency. The heart of everyone and everything is pure positive energy, love. No one is a human. People are divine spiritual beings, one with God, having the experience of being identified with that particular human, video game character taking on an avatar as a body, in this virtual reality.
I agree with you when you said "If living within western cultures this isn't feasible.". However, coming from a man on a strong retention journey, we can still commit to celibacy. It has its moments, tests me daily, whenever a lustful thought comes through I say "cancel" within my mind, a technique I learnt from a teacher. It works. I've also heard a technique of seeing every woman as your sister and that way you overcome the lustful thought patterns. You've helped pave the way for many along the path, I'm grateful for all the years you've dedicated to help the collective. Appreciation. #RetainTrain 🚆⚡⚡
Cheers man . That’s a great listen . I’m 2 years now 🎉 …10 more to go
Great video and information definitely would implement this practice for a year or two see what life is like
I’ve just embarked on this journey of SR or celibacy not very long ago. The lifestyle of the bramachrya,(sorry for the misspelling) is something that I have been interested in deeply lately. I’m from the US where almost everything is sexualized and I’m tempted on a daily basis. To not engage with or engage in sexual activity is a daunting task in itself, but to not even think about it is another. I am very passionate about reaching spiritual enlightenment and I feel SR along with meditation and prayer will get me there. I’m currently reading the coiled Serpant with has been aiding me on my journey but a part of me thinks I’m a failure because I’ve got a son, and although I love him more than words can explain, I find myself thinking how can I completely devote myself to this lifestyle being a devotee of God while still being there for my son.
The world needs good fathers, and your son certainly needs you as such. I wholeheartedly endorse lasting semen retention/celibacy for those of us who feel called to it. I see no reason why either your existing fatherhood or your celibacy going forward should preclude the practice of the other. Neither is any excuse to ignore the other. God can bless you through both.
You having a son and an SR lifestyle have no correlation to each other. Creation is what sex is for that's very different to casual sex and masturbation.
bharamcharya can practiced with your partner too as long as you both abstain from any kind of sexual activity
u can read the book about it by swami sivananada
Ask God Almighty for Guidance. May He guide and help you.
You don’t get let in unless you have full surrender to the process not withstanding full faith in God. One aspect of its discipline is rejecting everything that can distract from this full surrender that being inappropriate association with people technology etc that is not conducive to higher spiritual realisation and that would mean no social interaction unless with like minded people or continue in your solitude in seclusion. This is not for a season but a lifetime. There is no going back from this.
Hats off bro🙌💯
One of best channel right now on youtube.
222 likes. Always when i am on longer streak of semen retention i start seeing numbers. Can that be coincidence ? Seems like i dont see them when i am not on sr
Favorite outro so far
Excellent video
Thank you
Godbless
5:00 since you called for a brahmachari, here's this tamil Brahmin brahmachari reporting for duty.
The meaning of brahmacharya is actually exactly as Swami Sila Bhakti-vedanta Prabhu-phada mentioned it (yes his name is a mouthful). It means total abstinence as the definition you mentioned. You cannot remain a brahmachari and indulge in sex or even consider sex. Does it mean you can't attain enlightenment if you are a grihastha/householder? I believe it's theoretically possible according to Ramana Maharshi if you can practice self enquiry with discipline, but others liken brahmacharya to being the runway on which your aeroplane seeks to take off. It's just way easier if you have the runway built for use. In fact Swami Vivekananda said that a man who practiced absolute brahmacharya for 12 years becomes an Oordhvaretta, a living embodiment of God. Even hearing one of the Mahavakyas (great sayings from the scriptures) once in such a state as great as that will instantly lead to enlightenment. Another benefit is you will develop a certain Nadi (nerve carrying electrical signals) which will give you the power to learn information at a superhuman speed and retain it at a photographic level. Swami Vivekananda himself was such a being and there were many second hand accounts of his incredible faculties.
I Definitely do not practicing Brahmacharya 😂 but, I do practice SR and will remain celibate until marriage !
I must say, I disagree with Brahmacharya on the point of distancing one's self from women and marriage. While this may be exactly what some souls need for their evolution, this idea of renouncing sex and women cuts one off from being able to engage in The Perfect Matrimony, as described by Samael Aun Weor. This is the act of sex, without lust and without orgasm, for the ultimate awakening of divinity, the Christ, within the individual. Brahmacharya may indeed be a precursor stage in the soul's evolution before one is able to eradicate lust, but to stop there, and never go farther is a grave mistake in my opinion.
But I don't have the answers. These ideas are still merely theoretical to me. I have not fully eradicated lust from my psyche. I am still very much an aspirant.
Brahm means supreme power ie., God and acharya means to act so, Brahmacharya means to act , to behave, to keep your thoughts always like a God and always keep your mind in remembrance of God whether directly or indirectly while doing your all the worldly duties and chores. Since God is perfect and has no evil qualities, Brahmacharya encourages the person to get rid of all the evil natures of mind that are lust, anger, greed, arrogance etc. Retaining the semen is just one small aspect, the concept of Brahmacharya is very broad. U got it wrong, the sages of Vedic Sanatan culture didn't encourage people to remain in Brahmacharya throughout their lives but we had 4 stages in which human life was divided called ashram systems . The first stage which is called Brahmacharya ashram started from 1-25 years of age where as a young child, teenager and growing young man, people had to focus on their education neglecting all the worldly pleasures like sex, women and other bad things that are distracting in path of education and career. Once a person used to settle in his career the next stage started which was called grihastha ashram which lasted from 26-50 years. Here person get married and start his family life. The next stage was called vanprastha from 51-75 where people used to get retired from their occupation and start their own self realisation in the form of self study and all other things that help a person. The final stage comes at 76 years of age and lasts till 100 years where person renounce the materialistic life and start doing things that would help him in salvation. The average human life at that time was around 100 years so these 4 stages of human life were divided in 25 years each. Most of the great sages of Sanatan Vedic Hindu culture were married and ran family and still attained salvation. Off course then there were some who decided to remain celibate throughout their life to attain God. But that was completely an individual's choice.
Brahmacharya is not a precurser stage but the ultimate stage as it requires the highest state of consciousness and actions done by humans.
One of the very effective way to live the human life at fullest was described by Lord Krishna to warrior Arjuna on the battleground of Kurukshetra war 5,000 years ago in the form of Gita, was that enjoy all the worldly pleasures there is to enjoy whether it is money, women, sex and do all the duties and jobs that u r given in this life and while doing all these things keep yourself detached internally from these materialistic things. In this way, u would not only be able to live the life like normal person do but also escape from the laws of karma which suggests that for every action that has been done by u whether good or bad would come back to u whether in this life or another life.
@@abhinavkumar547Very interesting, thank you for sharing! Certainly, as a westerner that is news to me. Perhaps I worded my original comment poorly, let me elaborate.
The book I read on this subject was "Practice of Brahmacharya by Swami Sivananda", and that book specifically is what I disagreed with, in regards to never marrying.
My impression of Swami's teaching was that one should not marry, and should distance one's self from women entirely. Perhaps this was a translation error, or I simply lack vital context, reading from a western perspective. The additional details you have provided certainly paint a very different picture of the meaning of brahmacharya compared to how I interpreted it being presented in the book.
@@lumarious Swami Sivananda is himself a lifelong Brahmachari ( the follower of Brahmacharya) therefore his book focuses on the importance of Brahmacharya and how to do it strictly. The other aspect of human stages is not written by him because the purpose of his book is to impart knowledge about Brahmacharya only. The actual context of Swami ji's teaching is if u have decided to follow the path of Brahmacharya, u need to make sure that u do it wholeheartedly without any distractions in this path. If someone is really in this journey then he needs to practice it in its original and purest form and in order to successfully do it, your mind needs to get rid of lustful thoughts. It is a biological nature that if a man sees a beautiful woman, his mind automatically starts wandering in the negative direction which breaks the rule of Brahmacharya. This is why he recommended to stay away from women for those who are really in this path. Of course if one follows Brahmacharya, he do not need to do it lifetime but whatever time period he has choosen, he needs to make sure to follow all the rules that are not only eradicating the lust but also be mindful about your temper ( anger) , pride, arrogance, affection and greed which are all evil natures of mind. Offcourse if the practice of Brahmacharya is so strict then its rewards are as fruitful. I will touch upon some of the benefits of it later. If u look at the history of mankind, majority of great and successful men who were philosophers, thinkers, great scientists, sages, prophets, avatars etc. all have done the practice of Brahmacharya whether knowingly or unknowingly in their lives. Some like scientists, philosophers, artists, painters, musicians, philosophers etc. have mostly control their lustful nature of mind and transmute it in their works which led them to great heights in their respective fields. Avatars, Prophets, Sages who were all divinly blessed went a step further and became mindful of all the evil nature of their minds like u do in Brahmacharya. No matter which faith and religion u follow, every holy men in every religions have done Brahmacharya even if it was for a definitely time period. One of the benefits of Brahmacharya is long life,luster and vigor.Swami Sivananda is over 100 years old and if u look at him he appears much younger than his age and is very flexible in his body. Ancient sages used to live over 100 years in India thanks to the power of Brahmacharya.
Here there r still sages who are over 200-300 years of age and live secretly in in Himalyas which is the region of world's biggest mysteries in itself. Great spiritual master Swami Vivekanand told the world that if a person successfully is able to do Brahmacharya for 12 consecutive years, he develops a nerve in his body which is called medha nadi ( nadi means nerve) and as a result attain the superhuman intelligence and photographic memory. Have u heard about the term quantum speed reading? After strictly practicing Brahmacharya, a person gets the ability of quantum speed reading. Swami Vivekanand himself had that power in which if he touches any book, he would instantly know everything that is written in the book no matter how many pages that book has or in which language it is written. When he was in Europe, he was invited by one of his European friend to come to his house,who was if i remember correctly German and was probably scientist. Swami Vivekanand saw many large and thick books on the shelf of his friend's house. He asked his German friend to show him one of the book which was very thick to which his German friend started laughing and said that it is written in German and that Swami ji would not be able to understand the language. Vivekanand ji repeated him to show the book as he wanted to read it so he gave him that book. Swami ji touched the book in between his palms and without opening a single page of the book returned it back to his friend. His friend asked why in the first place did he asked that book to read as without reading any chapters of it, he returned it back. Swami ji told him that he has already read the whole book and remember each and every word written in each page. His friend didn't believe him and asked him to tell some of the things and also ask the page no. for it. To his absolute shock, Swami Vivekanand answered all his questions and told the exact page no. in which they were written.
@@abhinavkumar547 Wow, thank you for the addition context!! Very interesting!
I can get behind SR and abstaining from porn. But certainly not celibacy. We wouldn't have sex organs if we wasn't meant to use them.
You don’t have to do it forever to get huge benefits and lifelong wisdom from the practice. Just two months of full celibacy and retention and I have learned things about myself and the universe that I can never forget. I fully plan on slinging D again in this lifetime.
couldn't agree more. Jospeh is going too far with this, in my opinion.
He said it's not for everybody. Chew the meat, spit out the bones.
wrong my friend.@@Remember-Death this thing its totally unnatural, this idea that you dedicate to God through celibacy its just a BS. what is your penis doing down there if that is so ? feeling the desire to have sex with a woman its perfectly natural. you dont have to go the other way, otherwise you would go against the natural course. its just an ego BS the desire to go celibacy. i hope. Joseph would stop here, otherwise it will be nearly imposibile to transcend the ego if you make it huge.
Practicing celibacy isn't just about semen retention or no pmo. It's also not putting mental energy towards the opposite sex..whether romantic or sexual..you completely remove yourself from thinking of the opposite sex.They no longer factor into your life.
hare krishna 🙏
Thank you. What is the full name/author of the book?
Sorry but I found the book on PDF and the chapters and texts you mentioned, are not present in the book .
The verses do not match the original and the chapter does not exist in the book I found online. Can you please share the reference to show where did you got the information . Tank you .
I think you would like sikhs and the way of life promoted by sikhs. The teachings of guru is for us sikh men to live householder lives whilst devoting ones life to god. It teaches you to live amongst maya but teach yourself to detatch from it whilst raising and supporting your family. I feel it is a good balance between more ascetic practices and daily life.
i think the teachings from The Krsna conscious people could be the highest calibre spiritual teachings there is.
your actually
So strange. As im watching this and you mention KRSNA. I look to the left at my book shelf and see this book called "KRSNA The supreme personality of Godhead" lol I haven't read it yet i was given it. Inside the book it has an invitation to an international society for Krsna consciousness, one being in England lol
Spiritual, Manifest, Pride, Sin, Lucifer all have something in common. Exactly or almost exactly in the middle of each of these words is the I. I =I related. This is guaranteed to come good 😏...... Open your eyes🙌 there is only one truth only one way and only one eternal life.
apophenia
Buddy I m an Indian and Gita and its narrator Lord Krishna Chandra is our beloved god. But even it is difficult for us in modern era to completely do "Brahmacharya" and this is because in eastern countries like India the Western hedonistic culture is coming at pace. All the biggest cities here have hookup cultures and slowly it is coming in other cities as well. It is degrading out culture and i find it saddening that western people like u have started realising its importance and want to learn more the wisdom India has to offer but on the other hand our own people are running to the degenerated hedonistic culture of west.
Yes

Brahmacharya in the strictly Vedic sense is impossible in the modern West, so a sort of behavioral brahmacharya has to do. Christians often say that we are "in the world, but not of the world." That is a catch phrase devised from part of a prayer of Jesus on the eve of His crucifixion (specifically John 17 : 15-16), not for God to take His followers OUT of the world, but to keep them from evil, for they are not OF the world. This is the celibacy that God expects until marriage and that some of us have embraced for life. I know a Christian man from the Indian state of Sikkim who is committed to lifetime celibacy/semen retention and who calls it "brahmacharya" in his native Nepali and when he speaks Hindi.
Retain and become a demigod.
And also there are some mantras which are specifically for other guards but in iskcon temples the teachers. You should only chant the name of Krishna and nothing else this and that blah blah blah so I just hate them
You can practice brahmacharya and celibacy wherever you live whatever color you are. You need determination and focus on God
You can do it. I am a westerner celibate and virgin and i am 35. Much love ❤
Hey I can follow all the rules but not even talking to any women is hard man. Not even to my mom or my female friends.
Bro this is tough extreme brahmacharya is very very tough because it's for rishis sages 🕉️🥰🙏🙂
Being a Hindu myself, I've been through all the teachings of iskcon and I strongly disagree with what they teach as well as they focus on being one with Krishna and all as mentioned in one of my previous comments. It's my request do you Joseph to stop focusing on content specially acquired from the followers of Krishna or escond teachings because they are totally biased towards Krishna and all they want to focus is that there's only one God Krishna and everything else is fake and all that. So please reflect on this comment
Hey buddy if u want Joseph to not talk about Isckonian philosophy, which is fine because I too don't believe how they portray their ideologies, but tell him to read the Gita of Gitapress Gorakhpur which is the most authentic source of translation of Gita. The Isckon's Gita has many different translations of sanskrit verses which don't match with other versions of Gita and which clearly proves that they are selling their own ideologies. While Lord Krishna is one of the manifestations of the supreme power God, he is not the only manifestation but there were many avatars throughout the history who all posessed the powers of God. But one thing here is that Lord Krishna posessed the complete powers of God ie. he was the owner of all 16 kalas whereas others have comparatively lesser kalas ( powers) .
Complete lifelong celibacy isn't required for high levels of transmutation. Although of course periods of complete celibacy that is accompanied by intensive training are necessary for development of cultivating.
Also to put in another perspective with lifelong celibacy vows; the reality is the majority of these people will not even attain high level of cultivation even if they adhere strictly.
There are high level 'masters' or cultivators in modern times that have surpassed most Bhramacarya or Monk vow takers in levels of transmutations and where able to raise families.
Why? Because it comes down to methodology. Or simply it comes down to results of the training. If the practice works, and If the momentum of transmuting is greater than "leaking" then mindfully engaging in sexually activities in a healthy way shouldn't be an issue.
