Mahabharata sauptika parva12/30:
immediately after getting married both Rukmini and krishna went to Badrikashrama(himalaya) and observed strict celibacy(brahmacharya) for 12 years n led a pious life there. They used to sleep on ground, ate only roots, tubers and fruits . Thereafter Rukhmini gave birth to the first child named Pradhumna.
Why did Sri Krishna & his wife adhere to Brahmcharya for 12 years? Did our scriptures command him to do so?
What is the benefit of observing Brahmcharya?
2.38yogsutra When one is confirmed in celibacy, spiritual vigor is gained. physical and mental power, valour, virility, etc is obtained
a man who had so much control over himself that he could observed brahmacharya for 12 years while living together with his wife..its such a pity that such a great man is denigrating continuously.just bcoz people dont the real shri krishna who is yogiraj.
