Will vasectomy help Brahmacharya?
Question
Hey Dhananjay,
Sincere gratitude to you for providing this service.
Am interested to hear what you would say about a man getting a Vasectomy for the purpose of the saving the vital fluids.
I know the yogins where very enlightened when it came to solving phyical problems. Could this be a another positive way to help achieving Samadhi .
Keeping in mind we would be practicing following yoga.
Love and light

Answer
Not even the least benefit will be attained by such methods. Rather, it will lead to complications and health problems. The human system has been devised with great accuracy and perfection by nature. It is nothing but foolishness to tamper with the working of the anatomy.
Does sexual desire originate from the physical body? Which is the source of sexual desire? Where from does this desire originate? It is the mind with its past tendencies and impressions that is the source of all ignorance and thereby recreational sexuality. The body and its organs donot have a will or mind of their own. They are only servants of the mind and are wholly dependent on the mind. Even if the entire sexual system in man were to be surgically removed, there would not be the least decrease in desire for sex at the mental level, for the mind with its Samskara-s (impressions) & Vasana-s (tendencies) remains untouched. Unless and until this ignorance that is coloring the mind is not got rid of, there will not be any change in ones thinking and actions. Samadhi will not be possible.
Hence those wishing to conserve and transmute their vital fluid should gain mastery over their mind through reduction of Avidya (neiscience) wound around the Atman. As such ignorance starts to reduce in volume, the mind starts to shine more and more with 'Sat' (truth of the absolute reality - the Supreme), transmutation occurs naturally and the body eventually stops the production of Rethas (sexual fluid).
ॐ तत् सत्
(That Supreme being is the absolute truth)
