Question: What is meant by Bramhacharya? Who is a bramhachari? How he should behave? What are his characteristics? I want to follow bramhacharya perfectly. Please give explanation.
Answer by Romapada Swami: There are four stages of life namely: brahmacarya, grastha, vanaprastha and sannyasa. The word ‘brahmacarya’ indicates one who is situated in cultivation of knowledge of Brahman. In the stage of brahmacarya one follows the vows of celibacy, takes shelter of and serve the instructing gurus and immerses completely in the systematic study of the scriptures and their implementation. It will not be possible for me to do justice to this question within the scope of this format. Please correspond to me separately.
