Vayu purana says that seeing Devas, Yaksas, Raksasas, Gandharvas etc., is a sign of obstruction to yoga.
Why is it? All of them are divine beings and why it can't be a sign of yoga instead of sign for disturbance to an yogi?
@Pandya Canon has a different meaning in general people. Sometimes to indicate Biblical canon. I don't think that can be easily understood by users easily. I am not a fan of the word narrative. Not all are narratives. Poems are also called narratives but we have stories here.
@NogShine I think the term "Canonical" can convey the meaning of being valid/accepted/reliable. So,if we use canonical-mythology, some users who wrongly thinks mythology refers to a fictional myth will notice the term canonical and eventually find that we don't mean fiction by mythology.....
It is known that a married person can be a brahmachari. It is also allowed for a brahmachari to perform sexual activity for offsprings afaik.
But my doubt is
Inorder to preserve his quality of brahmacharya, is it allowed for him to do sex just for seeking or providing sensual pleasures?
In Ahnik-Krutya, Shyamacharana Kaviratna Vidyavaridhi mentions that 'aharahah sandhyAm upAsita' (Sandhya should be worshipped everyday) is a Vedic instruction. But he did not mention where exactly in the Vedas this instruction is found.
Can anybody provide the source?
