Re: Struggling in Brahmacharya
Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krishna!
Dandavats and obeissances.
The above 2 posts give good advice on how to help your condition. The problem is that with our previous samskaras the lust isn't easily eradicated from our heart because maya is so strong and it is very hard in the present world to eradicate this lust once we have started because of the constant reminders wherever we go, and we are not yet paramahamsas who are constantly fixed in the Lord's service. The main thing is to try to please the Lord by chanting his holy names Nityananda, Gauranga, and the maha mantra.
What you are experiencing is very common and if you chant the names of the Lord you will never see hell even if you do slip up from time to time. The Lord knows how awful this age of Kali Yuga can be and that is why he came as Nitai-Gaura to help us. Just try your best and don't get depressed or discouraged because of falldowns. Just remember when we fall down we really only hurt ourselves; physically, mentally, and spiritually, but it still is very hard if not impossible at times for some of us so just try your best and take shelter of the Lord.
