Guest guest Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 Dear Nileshji SriMadDeviBhagavat 11th Skand Chapter VII at about verse 40 has this reference however there is no mention of carrots The entire reference reads The Fourteen Faced Rudraksam destroys all diseases and gives eternal health. While holding this one ought not to take wine, flesh, onion, garlic, Sajna fruit, Chalta fruit and the flesh of the Boar which eats excrements, etc. One key phrase here are the words.......while holding this Today we know that onions and garlic are extremely valuable for the good health of the human body and carrots are also most important to eat Doctors also sometimes recommend one small glass of wine on any given day as a tonic to those patients whose physical body need this type of stimulation for their metabolism and well being If a person is drinking wine it would probably be best to remove any Rudraksa or Rudraksa Malas that are being worn Thanks and Take Care My Friend DharmaDev nilesh_chandode <nilesh_chandode <> Tuesday, April 15, 2003 8:37 PM forbidden food Dear Members, I have read that Wearer of Rudraksha should not eat Onion, Garlic and Carrots.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2003 Report Share Posted April 16, 2003 I've eaten garlic and onions since I've been wearing rudraksha with no difficulty. However, the last glass of wine I had was a week after I started wearing rudraksha. I had half a glass. I then noticed the rudraksha began itching and becoming all around annoying to my skin. If you're going to drink, drink responsibly and remove the rudraksha!

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2003 Report Share Posted April 16, 2003 About a year an half ago I received pujari training. I couldn't eat garlic and onions and meat and alchohol wasn't allowed in ashram. The reason I was told was because I was taking care of murtis, enlivened statues that are the presence of the actual deity. It was a sign of respect to them to not be a stinky pujari :-) So I would imagine that since the rudraksha are the embodiment of the devata, onions and garlic often go through the pores on some people,,one wouldn't want their rudraksha smelling of sandalwood and garlic. Would be that you were offering something stinky to Devata and not something pleasant. Just a hunch.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2003 Report Share Posted April 16, 2003 In Ayurveda it is said that garlic keeps negative entities away. It is also said that it keeps the Gods away too. It is Rajasic in nature and not recomended for Yoga practice. , thunderheals@a... wrote: > About a year an half ago I received pujari training. > I couldn't eat garlic and onions and meat and alchohol wasn't allowed in > ashram. > The reason I was told was because I was taking care of murtis, enlivened > statues that are the presence of the actual deity.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2003 Report Share Posted April 16, 2003 I'm a chef. I eat forbidden foods and have my hands in raw garlic, onions, pork products, and then get home and drink beer, all the while wearing my very auspicious rudraksha. One shouldn't forget that the kaula tantras insist that their devotees eat the five meats, drink the five liquors, and eat the five grains as well as practicing the five Ms. So it's all really up to you and whether your vision of God is offended by certain actions or whether you accept all.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2003 Report Share Posted April 16, 2003 I found some references about carrot, onion and garlic as follows, palandu lasunam sigrum alambum grjanam palam bhunkte yo vai naro brahman vratam candrayanam caret (Padma Purana, Brahma Khanda 19.10, spoken by Suta Gosvami) O sages, one who eats garlic, onions, sigrum (a kind of plant), turnips, bottle gourd and meat, that person should observe a candrayana fast. vrntakam jalisakam kusumbha smantakam tatha palandu lasunam suklam niryasan caiva varjayet grjanam kinsukan caiva kukundanca tathaiva ca udumbaram alavun ca jagdhva patati vai dvijah (Hari Bhakti Vilasa 8.158,159, from Kurma Purana) One should not eat eggplant, banana leaves, sunflower leaves and asmantaka leaves, onions, garlic. One should not eat sour gruel (a thin watery pouriage) or the juice of the tree. One should also give up turnips and beetroots, carrots, kinsuka, forest figs, and white pumpkin. If the twice born persons eat these things, they all become fallen. Manu-samhita: 5.5. Garlic, leeks and onions, mushrooms and (all plants), springing from impure (substances), are unfit to be eaten by twice-born men.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2003 Report Share Posted April 16, 2003 One more reference which is found in Rudraksha Jabala upanishad posted in this newsgroup under the files section. "One who wears Rudrakshas, should not use intoxicants, meat, garlic, onions, carrots and all such prohibited things." Just to satiesfy the toungue and removing redraksha to eat these things looks practical but indicates that how weak is a person in controlling his senses. It depends on individual's free will what to do and not. , "nilesh_chandode" <nilesh_chandode@i...> wrote: > I found some references about carrot, onion and garlic as follows, > > palandu lasunam sigrum alambum grjanam palam > bhunkte yo vai naro brahman vratam candrayanam caret > > (Padma Purana, Brahma Khanda 19.10, spoken by Suta Gosvami) > > O sages, one who eats garlic, onions, sigrum (a kind of plant), > turnips, bottle gourd and meat, that person should observe a > candrayana fast. > > vrntakam jalisakam kusumbha smantakam tatha > palandu lasunam suklam niryasan caiva varjayet > grjanam kinsukan caiva kukundanca tathaiva ca > udumbaram alavun ca jagdhva patati vai dvijah > > (Hari Bhakti Vilasa 8.158,159, from Kurma Purana) > > One should not eat eggplant, banana leaves, sunflower leaves and > asmantaka leaves, onions, garlic.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2003 Report Share Posted April 18, 2003 Dear friends, There is lot of discussion on forbidden foods, especially, about Garlic and Onion. I do not really uderstand why these two wonderful plants having so many medicinal properties have been forbidden by Hindu Religion ? Garlic now a days is considered as 'Wonder Plant of the World' It is considered as an excellent medicine to reduce Cholesterol level in blood. Similarly, it has excellent antibiotic properties to keep away most of the harmful microorganisms. There was an excellent article in a famous popular science journal 'New Scientist' possibly in May 1991 issue. I will send the exact details in a due course of time. Because of its excellent medicinal properties scientific interest in these two plants is day by day increasing. 'International Symposium on Garlic' is held very frequently. Intrested friends are requested to do internet search on these two plants. It is always recommended to chew at least 4 to 5 raw buds of garlic everyday to keep you healthy.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2003 Report Share Posted April 18, 2003 Greetings friend: These plants are wonderful to promote health. There is no question about that. From a yogic stand point they are considered to be too simulating and dulling of the mind. The mind is naturally the realm of Sattva, or harmony and clarity. The foods we eat influences our mind. For those not interested in Yoga practices or restoring their minds to harmony and clarity, onions and garlic are fine. They help keep the body strong which is helpful. Some people can eat these foods and retain calmness and clarity in their minds. Garlic is probably ok for them too. If the mind is prone to over activity, dullness, anger or inertia it may help to cut these foods out. It is similar to meat. There is nothing more building than meat for the body. However, Ayurveda doesn't recomend it because it is not clean fuel. It builds the tissue well, but it is of a poorer quality than if the diet was vegetarian. When consumed and burned in the body it can invite a consciousness of violence that may cloud the clarity of our true nature. This viewpoint considers the evolution of consciousness more important. A healthy body may be helpful to live a long and happy life, but as has been said, a great yogi who dies young has a much richer life than an ordinary man who lives 100 years.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2003 Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 Dear Listemembers, The usage of these vegetables and meat is completely forbidden in the vedas.First is that these are the basic originators for tamasik and rajasik natures in the people who use it.Secondly it severely affects concentration, memory ,induces sleep and affects pronounciation.Hence our great sages and maharshi's deplored their usage. This is exactly the reason why brahmins of the past shied away from using these.Because during learning of vedas mental concentration ,perfect speech are basic requirements. For vedas to be pronounced without any irregularities or doshas a perfect tongue is required.Those who are from vedic backround will understand how difficult it is to recite samhita's at a stretch.On the day of Upakarma every brahmin is given his first lesson in vedas namely the "Maheswara Sooktha".Just try pronouncing it and you will find how difficult its pronounciation is.The Maheshwara Sooktha is nothing but the origin of the various letters(sounds) when lord shiva performed the thandava nrithya(dance).

Guest guest Posted December 26, 2003 Report Share Posted December 26, 2003 It is not true that garlic and onion is regarded as wonder plant for their medicinal properties by modern medicine. It is Ayurveda which considers and described both of them very good for health and not the modern system of medicine which has come to know about its medicinal properties recently. According to Ayurveda Garlic is very good for people suffering from Arthritis as it reduces the effect of vata. Also garlic is considered to be good for ladies.It is good for digestive disorders etc. regards K.kr , chandrashekhar phadke <chphadke> wrote: > > Dear friends, > There is lot of discussion on forbidden foods, especially, about Garlic and Onion. I do not really uderstand why these two wonderful plants having so many medicinal properties have been forbidden by Hindu Religion ? Garlic now a days is considered as 'Wonder Plant of the World' It is considered as an excellent medicine to reduce Cholesterol level in blood. Similarly, it has excellent antibiotic properties to keep away most of the harmful microorganisms. There was an excellent article in a famous popular science journal 'New Scientist' possibly in May 1991 issue. I will send the exact details in a due course of time. Because of its excellent medicinal properties scientific interest in these two plants is day by day increasing. 'International Symposium on Garlic' is held very frequently. Intrested friends are requested to do internet search on these two plants. It is always recommended to chew at least 4 to 5 raw buds of garlic everyday to keep you healthy. > Chandrashekhar Phadke > thestar777 <thestar777> wrote:In Ayurveda it is said that garlic keeps negative entities away.
