Brahm Charya, or celibacy, is believed to offer several benefits for life, according to ancient Indian philosophies and spiritual traditions. Some of these benefits include:

1. *Conservation of energy*: By abstaining from sexual activities, individuals can conserve their physical and mental energy, which can be channeled into spiritual growth, self-study, and personal development.

2. *Increased focus and discipline*: Practicing Brahm Charya is thought to help develop self-control, discipline, and focus, leading to greater productivity and achievement in various aspects of life.

3. *Spiritual growth*: Brahm Charya is considered essential for spiritual growth, as it allows individuals to redirect their energy toward self-realization, meditation, and connection with a higher power.

4. *Mental clarity and calmness*: This practice is believed to promote mental clarity, calmness, and inner peace, leading to better decision-making and emotional stability.

5. *Health benefits*: Some proponents of Brahm Charya claim that it can lead to improved physical and mental health, although these benefits can vary depending on individual circumstances.

These benefits are rooted in spiritual and philosophical traditions, and individual experiences may differ.

 the principle of maatha” 

is one of the many features of devi

….in the sloka ”yaa devi sarva bhuteshu…..mathru rupena samsthitha”

.

..devi is a goddess, not one particular mother,

nor a statue in a temple,

but it is the principle of mother in all pranis,

whether cat dog monkey human, chicken, bird, elephant, lion

..the principle of motherly care , responsibility, love, tender qualities, patience, in conceiving, giving birth

and protecting, feeding,

teaching skills , play , work, protection ,

cleaning, sanitation, etc.

..which are common features of mother in all pranis

… when i saw a cat attending to her children,

so lovingly , and commitment, against all odds, involving hard work,

i really was thrilled to see mother ”devi”’ in it

……………..that is how devi is eternal ,

all pervading in all beings, sarva bhuteshu,

not localized in time or space or to a specie

…so similarly all gods are particular eternal, principles,

eternal non changing laws of nature governing the universe

 ganesha is not only the roopa aspect but the principle aspect , .ie vighna kartha+vighna hartha

1  i see him as an on off switch, a door opening/closing, a speed breaker, to stop the over speeding, but allow the walker to cross the road , or a brake in a bike ,or a watchman at the gate, ...incidentally ....well suits .on ...how parvathi kept him at the entrance to stop shiva ,, i may not see him as depicted in the pictures / or as described in the stotras,

2 . he creates obstacles, he removes obstacles,-----like a water tap, allowing and stopping the water , so one must earn his grace, ie one must know how to use the beneficial aspects of both ...''on and off'' ....

2.1 this '' on off '' is what we do in ''activity and rest '', 

on the ultimate level ,it is '' manifest and unmanifest ''

since it is a principle, the applications / possibilities/ ,manifestations of it are infinite

in life every where this principle is present , even eye lids, closing and opening

2.2 light is discrete "packets" of energy that we call photons, ....so it is a case of flow of ''glow and unglow '', since , between photons, there is no energy , no light

3 since a principle is universally present, and eternally working, it is a deva, animesha, ...ie some thing valuable and ever alive. 

to explain such subtle knowledge , dharma sookshmas to commoners the media of icons and episodes is used 

4 unfortunately the principle is ignored / overshadowed by rituals/ faith/ beliefs / hopes, and devas remain a mystery 

but for rishis all devas are just so familiar and intimate that they can cognize them every where without any ambiguity , 

since they have gained access to the field of ''parame vyoman ''where in, ''yasmin deva adhivishve nishedhuhu '', the laws governing the universe reside . 

all the vedic literature can reveal true essence to the one who has that experience, ie access, to that field , but, ''yasthan na veda , kim richa karishyathi '''' alas , to the one who has no access what avail are these
