Brahmacharya – Celibacy – 12 years WHY ??
This adopts Lunar cycle not SOLAR
Its said that a yoga practitioner should adopt celibacy for 12 years or so ?
Reason behind this 12 ??
Observing lunar cycle –
From NEW MOON ( Amavasya ) to FULL MOON ( Pournami ) – it takes 15 days and 16 th day it sparkles with its FULL BLOOM
FULL Moon formation is formed thru accumulation of Sublimated Semen on fore head in 3 ventricle – Semen cup – Bowl of Nectar
First 3 days – the development of moon is not visible to our eyes
Hence they are deleted from calculation
Remaining 12 days , it grows each day and on 16 th day its COMPLETE and FULL
Development of Moon every day refers to accumulation of Semen on forehead
Hence this Lunar cycle is “ EXTERNAL MANIFESTATION OF INTERNAL NATURE AND SECRET OF SATHANAAS “
This 12 days is made 12 long , long years
This is just a number to show that so much time and hard work required to have the VISION of SELF Brahman Atman
Actually it varies with individuals acc to karma , marurity , sathanaaas Grace of God et al
Its not a joke or easy buy
He who forms FULL MOON on his Fore Head
Shall be YOUTH forever
No becoming Senile
Old Age Diseases Will not set in
No Wrinkles – Shrinks on skin faces
That’s Why KumbhMela in Ganga is held once in 12years in INDIA
It refers to Bowl of Nectar – Amrith getting filled after 12 yrs of practice and flowing – descending down to the human body – that is Ganga river
