Hinduism has talked about the four ashrams of life in which Brahmacharya ashram, Grihastha ashram, Vanprastha ashram and finally Sanyas ashram have been talked about, this is the stage by which every person should adopt in his life. Brahmachari Ashram From the time a child is born and till his youthful age, one should follow celibacy. After the youthful stage a person enters the Grihastha Ashram, after the Grihastha Ashram the person goes to the Vanprastha Ashram and then lives his life by taking the last Ashram Sanyas.
Brahmacharya has been given a lot of importance in Hinduism, he who is a sanyasi will be celibate, only a sage is a sage, a wise man, he will also follow celibacy, there is such a belief, but in spirituality these four ashrams have their own importance, to live in these four ashrams. But only salvation can be attained.
But the question is that the sage who followed only celibacy and spent his whole life in celibacy, did not enter the householder's ashram, then how did he attain salvation. almost mandatory. I remember that I read in a book that Adi Shankaracharya was a very knowledgeable male scholar, he was the founder of Advaita Vedanta, he was a great scholar of his time, it was almost impossible to defeat him in debate on any subject. All the great scholars were defeated. In the same series, he challenged Mandan Mishra, an ardent pundit, for debate, and Mandan Mishra's wife, a scholar herself, interceded on the condition that whoever lost would become a disciple of the other for several days. Mandan Mishra was defeated in the debate, when Shankaracharya asked him to take sannyasa and become his disciple, then his wife Ubhaya Bharati challenged Shankaracharya to debate because according to weapons, the wife is a half-wife, then Shankaracharya accepted the challenge. The debate between the two continued for 14 days. When Bharati felt that she could not defeat Shankaracharya in any subject, she asked questions about the Kamasutra, but if Shankaracharya was a sanyasi, it was not appropriate to ask him questions on this subject. Mundan Mishra himself objected to this, but Ubhaya Bharati's argument was that this is also a topic, a scripture that would be appropriate to discuss. Asked for a month's time and left from there, he was only thinking what to do, how to take the knowledge of Kamasutra while saving his celibacy. Right now he was absorbed in this idea that only then he found the body of King Amaruk. The thought came to his mind and he left his body with his yoga power (Parkaya Pravesh) and entered the king's body, surrendering his body to his disciple, went to the king's palace. For a month in the king's palace. Knowing the secret of Kama Sutra by staying with the queen. After one month he left the body of the king and after re-assembling his body, he reached to answer Ubhaya Bharati's question, he answered all the questions of Bharti correctly. Adi Shankaracharya's goal was not to defeat anyone, but to take Vedic philosophy to every corner. For the purpose he started a journey Digvijay Yatra The purpose of this journey was to spread the propagation of Vedic Dharma Shastra.
In this incident, I have some questions, if anyone has the answer to them, then definitely write -
Question 1: If the pleasure of the senses is only bodily pleasure, then how did Adi Shankaracharya enter the body of someone else and get the experience of his soul?
The second question is that ,- if the Kamasutra also has its own importance, then what is the need for celibacy?
