Brahmacharyam is the first step towards reaching the ultimate truth. Brahma means God and charyam means the first step towards God. The five vows one has to take when becoming a brahmachari are:

Accepting the Satguru, the Master as everything and breaking all family ties

Not acquiring any further property and giving away all current possessions

Not having any physical contact with anybody

Total surrender to the Satguru and always following the path of truth

Always being in a state of nithyanandam - eternal bliss
