Tribute to Guruji and Light on Yoga - Day 20
Brahmacharya means the "life of celibacy, religious study and self-restraint."
In modern society it can be hard to be a true brahmachari, but Patanajali lays stress on the continence of the body, speech and mind and says the philosophy of yoga is not meant only for celibates.
It is approaching things with proper conduct in mind, body and speech. For a householder doing the duties required with a clean mind and heart.
Mr. Iyengar writes that most yogis and sages of old in India were married men with families and says that many codes of laws recommended marriage because, "without experiencing human love and happiness, it is not possible to know divine love."
Namaste.
