Guest guest Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 When you sit for puja or japa or parayana you must be clean in body and mind.That is the requirement,and AMMA WILL ACCEPT IT. PBK Namasthe. Each Jivathma is born with certain tendencies and gets carried away with Raga and dwesha (likes and dislikes) due to Vasanas of earlier births and food definitely acts as a promoter to these vasanas carried in Mind. It is not only Non-Veg food but also includes certain Veg foods like garlic,onions,excess of sweets,sour or salty food intakes,artificial juices, Veg cooked foods stored in deep freezer, veg food kept in fridge etc influences negatively the Mind. It is very easy to talk in general or philosphical terms -- like the above -- chant with clean mind etc but difficult to practice because of the Vasanas constantly influencing the Mind. The point is when the controllable factors such as food are within the realms of our control then why alow them as additional contributory factors. It is said that when the food cooked by a thamasic person is consumed by a Sathwic, it affects the sathwic, as it is believed that the mind of the thamasic travels through the food to affect the sathwic person. One need not worry excessively on these uncontrollable factors such as vasanas paying havoc,but pray to HER for the prayer sake and await Her grace. Such constant prayers would definitely helps in transforming the individual and bring purification of mind.
