The term ‘Ayurveda’ is connected to this system because it gives knowledge of the whole of the Ayu (Life) to say, in brief, the heralds of each and every facet of life from birth to death, or in other words, the creation, the sustenance and destruction phenomena are elaborately explained. This was the reason for which the affix Veda is added to Ayurveda.

          The Brahmacharya also controls body and mind as well as the action of the gyanendriyas, karmendriyas and mana.     By the above mention references we can conclude that if this supreme vital component is not wasted indiscriminately, its conservancy yields high moral, physical and mental strength.
