Question
Sir
I have some more doubt that: 1. What are the Yogic Kriyas can do from the temple (Trataka and Meditation can do from the temple?) 2.Why the experts saying that yoga must do before sun set and sun rise? 3.why feeling light hot under the end of back born during brahmacharya life? 4.Please share your spiritual experiance during brahmacharya life?
Thanking u Sir
1. Yogic practices can be performed from the temple provided the seating position is maintained (Sidhasana, Padmasana etc..) and the surroundings are calm and free from disturbance and people. One should not practice Yoga Sadhana for liberation in front of people in public view. It should be practiced in private, alone completely filling the mind with the thought of God and nothing else. However, chanting mantras or Japa can be performed in the temple.
2. For the significance of performing Yoga before Sunrise and at Sunset see the FOLLOW UP of: http://en.allexperts.com/q/Celibacy-Abstinence-3564/2011/11/male-period.htm in 'past answers' Dt:11/14/2011
3. Various sensations occur in the lower chakras during the initial stages of Brahmacharya due to the flow of Pranic currents further to conservation of semen. This leads to feelings of heat in the lower spine.
4. My experiences in the path towards 'Kaivalya' (self-realization) are not yet complete. I shall try to describe them if I happen to attain to that state of enlightenment by the grace of the Almighty Parabrahman and if he so wishes.

Expertise
I can answer to the extent of my knowledge, questions concerning the practice of 'Brahmacharya', the results that follow and the means required.
Experience
I am into the practice of 'Brahmacharya' along with the study and practice of a life of 'Yoga' aimed at self-realization. My aim at volunteering here is to share with fellow readers, matters concerning self-realization/Brahmacharya to the extent of my knowledge. The term 'Yoga' is a derivative of the Samskruth verb 'Yuj' which means 'to join'. 'Yoga', also called 'Brahma vidyâ' thus signifies a mode of life that leads to the apparent union of the individual Jivâtma (embodied soul) with the Lord of the Universe - Brahman/The Almighty. Mere indulgence in 'Âsana' or physical postures is not Yoga. Âsana is only one limb or 'Anga' of Yoga. True Yoga consists of a lifestyle governed by the eight limbs viz. Yama, Niyama, Âsana, Prânâyâma, Pratyâhâra, Dhârana, Dhyâna and Samâdhi. Brahmacharya or spiritually based continence is one of the important components of 'Yama'. 'Brahmacharya':-"Brahmani charyathey ithi" - "One who has completely surrendered to Brahman, overcome the ego, and has realized himself to be a tool of the Almighty." Perfection in these eight limbs leads to establishment in 'Brahma Vidyâ' (knowledge of the Brahman) followed by merger with the Almighty.
