http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahmacharya
"The word brahmacharya stems literally from two components:
Brahma, (shortened from brahman), the absolute, eternal, supreme God-head. (As opposed to Brahmā, the deity in the Hindu triad responsible for creation).
charya, which means "to follow". This is often translated as activity, mode of behaviour, a "virtuous" way of life.
So the word brahmacharya indicates a lifestyle adopted to enable one to attain the ultimate reality."
