Is it true that Mahatma Gandhi conducted brahmacharya experiments in which he slept beside young women to test his celibacy?
Yes. A Wikipedia article and a Skeptics StackExchange answer both state that Gandhi slept beside young women, including his grandniece Manu and Abha, as experiments to test his celibacy.
