celibacy following specific yogic practices, it becomes a

energy, vigour and vitality.

Quotes: a) The reason for the yogic conservation of semen is
given by Yogiraj Vethathiri: “The life-force in a physical body
is based in the sexual vital fluid: a chemical compound of high
potential and proportionate mixture of various essential
ingredients designed to hold, charge and protect the requisite
quantity of life-force particles... The sexual vital fluid is like a
battery for the life-force. The quantity and quality of the sexual
vital fluid, will determine the strength and character of the lifeforce
and biomagnetism.
“Let us consider what happens if the sexual fluid gets
reduced in quantity. The life-force becomes correspondingly
less and the biomagnetism is also depleted. The cells are not
supplied with biomagnetism. As a result the machinery at first
slows, and then breaks down. So, in order to maintain the
biomagnetism, adequate life-force particles are absolutely
necessary. And in order to hold the life-force, the sexual vital
fluid should be sufficient.” 1
