This is the value of brahmacarya
Nanda Kumar das: In Calcutta, it was a challenging place for us, something about the temple, at least at one period. Everyone was sick, everybody had dysentery, and the service, there wasn't enough people to do the basic service. So it was a challenge. Banu Swami was there, and Banu Swami as I remember is a naistika-brahmacari. And through all of this, he never got sick, he never lost his focus, he remained active. And when others were down in their attitude, consciousness, he was never affected by it. At one point, he was the only person who was well and up serving. Prabhupada made note one day and he said, "Just see, this is the value of brahmacarya. Because he is brahmacari, he is able to circumvent all the challenges of the world and continue steady in his service. This is the value of brahmacarya."
