Bramhacharya

The word 'Brahmacharya' literally means "conduct consistent with Brahman" or "on the path of Brahman". It generally refers to a lifestyle characterized by sexual continence or abstinence. Brahmacharya is different from the English term "celibacy," which merely means non-indulgence in sexual activity. Brahmacharya is restraint or control of mind through ascetic means.
