RE: [uttaradimath-list] !!! Oath to control eating junk food !!!

[Guest guest]

As Sri Balkrishna has rightly pointed

out we need to stop eating outside!!!

 

Two steps I can suggest for Stage 3:

 

 

We

will not consume any rice based food at any Hotels, So No lunch/Dinner at

Office canteens, Hotels etc… but it is very difficult with out lunch. As far

as possible for lunch we can get the food from home. This not strictly

madi but 100% better than eating outside.

 

 

 

Alternatively,

for those people to whom #1 option is not viable, take juices instead of

rice based items. Initially, it will be very difficult to adjust but later

(3-4 months) you will get adjusted…

 

 

As told, a strict NO-NO for

ONIONS at home. Though Onions are good for physical health they are very bad

for Mental Health…….

Oath to control eating junk food !!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Namaskara All,

 

Let us all take an oath to stop eating all possible tamasic foods, which

severely impacts our sharp minds to act otherwise. We simply must avoid all

tamasic food and attain a supreme state of mind.

 

Let us try the following Stages of self

control (Stage 1 being easy to Stage 3 being difficult)

 

STAGE 1:

Stop eating Eggs (direct) and egg-based preparations.

Eggs in any form (as a Madhva I shouldn't have written this, but the prevalence

and situation demands so)

 

PLEASE don't eat Egg based cakes, pastries, etc - this is no better than eating

boiled eggs. Remember it is not a vegetarian produce and strictly prohibited

for Brahmins by our Shastras. I cannot simply emphasis this anymore.

 

You will lose your Brahmanatva and will be inherently banished (if not

physically at least consciously) from the Madhva lineage. We cannot afford

foolish and dumb situation to continue.

 

STAGE 2:

Stop preparing Onion & Garlic at home

Onion and Garlic are taamasic in nature, though beneficial to the body, there

are alternate satvic sources to replace the sulphur obtained from Garlic (life

Saunf). Please be aware that Onion and Garlic is fatal to most animals and all

herbivores avoid eating these bulbs. A dog can die in a matter of 1-day if it

is fed with either cooked or raw onions.

 

So, you must stop one of the following at home this chaturmaasa

 

1) Stop making Onion/Garlic at home

 

OR

 

2) Stop worshiping Saligrama, lighting deepa, etc (supposedly easier)

 

STAGE 3:

Stop eating in Hotels/Eateries/Buffet

This by far is the most difficult of all. We MUST stop eating in JUNK places

like hotels (either VEG or NON-VEG). Being a Brahmin, we CANNOT eat food, which

is prepared for PROFIT (though some mutts sell food in the name of hastodaka –

but since rama naivedya has happened, it is somewhat acceptable).

 

I am not sure of any hotels, which prepares without onion/garlic. It is not the

culture of our Madhvas to go OUT and EAT which has been prepared in by an

incompetent sudhra, muslim or chandala. We must eat FOOD prepared only at home

or a Matha in Madi.

 

Its easy to write and difficult to practice is what most of you might be

thinking and you all also might be thinking whether I myself follow all this or

not. YES I try my best not to eat outside food as much as possible until and

unless I am on tours on official work. Chaturmasa is very special and strict

for me. I make sure that I dont eat/drink anything outside home, and thats the

reason its only morning lunch and night supper for me all these 4 months, at

least by this way I am away from eating anything outside through out the day.

 

Things cannot be changed overnight.Only if we all try and follow we can succeed.

I request all of you to try and follow these minimum things for this 4 months

to start with. So what are we waiting for !!! Lets take an oath and pray GOD

that give us more strength and will power of not eating outside food.

 

Comments are most welcome.

 

!!! Haraye Namaha !!!
