Don't Give Up Guru's Shelter
To receive the shelter of a bona fide spiritual master is indeed the rarest of all attainments. Therefore if one is somehow fortunate to receive this greatest of all blessings, one should very carefully guard this shelter as his most valuable possession. In this material world there are many envious persons who will try to convince the devotee to give up this shelter. They will sometimes criticize and harass the devotee in many ways trying to break his faith in his spiritual master. When this happens the devotee must within his heart cling very tightly for dear life to the lotus feet of his spiritual master begging for his mercy to help him emerge victorious from this attack of the material nature.
In this regard it should be clearly understood that our greatest enemy is the uncontrolled mind. The uncontrolled mind is much worse of an enemy than even the most antagonistic of critics. It we can keep our minds under control no external influence will be able to shake our faith in guru and Krishna.

Dear teacher,
Please accept my most humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
According to one of the important theories of yoga, the semen is very valuable. One drop of semen is equal to 64 drops of blood. And ancient Chinese Taoist philosophy also stresses this point. Those who lost too much semen are weak, impatient, lusty, fractious, and lacking concentration and memory power. Such health state is not good for spiritual progress. I think that a devotee should only use semen to produce Krishna conscious children, he should never waste it. But for those who has already wasted too much of semen, is it necessary to do some yoga or Taoism practice to regain vital force as well as practice Krishna consciousness?

Even though Mahatma Gandhi was a married man, from his 30's onwards he practiced strict celibacy. His power of determination became so great that he was able to defeat the British Empire without even firing a single gun shot. So any man who retains his semen only discharging it for producing Krishna conscious children will become a very intelligent and powerful man.

Answer: Simply By Krishna Consciousness
For a man who has unfortunately wasted his semen the formula for regaining his vital force is simply to strictly follow the pathway of Krishna bhakti with no more fall downs into illicit sex. No separate endeavor is required. Simply by engaging seriously in Krishna consciousness he will higher taste from renunciation and naturally retain his semen. As it gradually accumulates in his body he will get increased brain power, physical strength, longevity, and determination.Even though Mahatma Gandhi was a married man, from his 30's onwards he practiced strict celibacy. His power of determination became so great that he was able to defeat the British Empire without even firing a single gun shot. So any man who retains his semen only discharging it for producing Krishna conscious children will become a very intelligent and powerful man.
