The word 'Brahmacharya' literally means "conduct consistent with Brahman" or "on the path of Brahman".<ref>James Lochtefeld, "Brahmacharya" in The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Hinduism, Vol. 1: A–M, pp. 120, Rosen Publishing. ISBN 9780823931798</ref> It generally refers to a lifestyle characterized by sexual continence or abstinence. Brahmacharya is different from the English term "celibacy," which merely means non-indulgence in sexual activity. Brahmacharya is restraint or control of mind through ascetic means.
