Brahmacharya & wrestling

Dhananjay • 4/2/2012
Question

Hello --- I've been reading about Kushti wrestling and I've seen sentiments that chastity is part of the training. Is it true that conserved 'power' has significant impacts on physical strength?

Thanks

Answer

Yes, It is common for traditional Indian wrestlers to uphold Brahmacharya so as to facilitate good performance in wrestling. Since Prana (vital energy) is conserved through Brahmacharya, it has a positive impact on physical strength.

ॐ तत् सत्
(That Supreme being is the absolute truth)
