I am using the spelling given on 'Amrit-Kana' the book 'baalabrahmachaarii shrii maheshajii' compiled of quotations of Guru Dev, published after the conference where Guru Dev met Dr. Radhakrishnan in 1950. However, I understand that if the spelling were short 'a' then the word would be 'bala', having the meaning of strength, power etc. > > > > > > brahmachaarya - study of the Veda, the state of an unmarried > religious > > student, a state of continence and chastity.
