Answer
Brahmacharya (Sanskrit: ब्रह्मचर्य) is the Sanskrit term for celibacy and devotion to God. It is the first of the four stages of life in Hinduism, followed by grihastha (householder), vanaprastha (forest dweller), and sannyasa (renunciation). Brahmacharya is seen as a necessary stage for spiritual development, as it allows the individual to focus on their spiritual practice without the distractions of family and worldly responsibilities.
