Hi all
Recently I have struggled a little with brahmacharya. I feel a very strong desire to preserve my energy. For that reason, I was searching for some prayers online to get enough will power to fight the sexual urges. Is there a way to incorporate a form of prayer in my samyama practice specifically for progress in brahmacharya? What sutra can I use?

Why not use the word brahmacharya itself?

On another note: I don't think fighting urges is in your best interest. Gently nudging your desires into a direction over time is a better (the yogic) way of handling the situation.

Releasing semen once in a while won't cripple your spiritual progress if you practise daily AYP. The process will take care of it's own in due time. If you feel like you really can't contain yourself, take a cold shower. Usually the desire to release is gone afterwards.

Thanks, Stille.
Yes. I had thought of the same word as sutra. Just needed some confirmation. I agree about handling the situation in a yogic way. I don't want to use raw will power but gently nudge the cravings to get something fruitful out of them. I want to preserve semen mainly for physical reasons. I have observed that recovery after an intense calisthenics session takes time if I have lost semen. I will make sure to take cold showers more often. Thanks again.

Namaste all.

Finally I have succeeded in Brahmacharya. It has been 2.5 months since the last time I ejaculated my precious life energy. I didn't change anything in the samyama sutras. Just the one that was supposed to be practiced for additional 5 min was changed from ’strength’ to ’Akasha-lightness of air’. Looks like, that and spinal bhastrika have contributed well. I was also inspired a lot by the book ’practice of brahmacharya’ by swami sivananda.
I simply couldn't succeed with tantric sexual practices. So, I decided not to stimulate myself at all. It has worked wonderfully so far.
