Abstain From Sexual Relations
Time: 1906
Place: South Africa
Details: Along with many other texts, Gandhi studied Bhagavad Gita while in South Africa. This Hindu scripture discusses jnana yoga, bhakti yoga, and karma yoga along with virtues such as non-violence, patience, integrity, lack of hypocrisy, self-restraint and abstinence. Gandhi began experiments with these, and in 1906 at age 37, although married and a father, he vowed to abstain from sexual relations.
Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
