Brahmacarya in Kṛ̣ṣṇa Consciousness

In the practice of Kṛṣṇa Consciousness, Brahmacarya holds significant importance as one of the fundamental principles guiding a devotee’s spiritual journey. Brahmacarya, often translated as “celibacy” or “chastity,” encompasses a broader concept of disciplined living, particularly focused on the regulation and preservation of one’s vital energy for spiritual advancement.

In Kṛṣṇa Consciousness, Brahmacarya is upheld as a means to cultivate purity, focus, and dedication in one’s devotional service to Lord Kṛṣṇa. It involves practicing moderation in all aspects of life, including diet, sleep, speech, and interactions with others, to maintain harmony between the body, mind, and spirit.
