Guest guest Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 HAre Krishna Anything which contains intoicants like Cocoa.......we should not take...........We should be prepared atleast to lead a life like our fellow Vaisnavas . No Acharya of any sect has any form of chocolate.......So......it is logical to follow the footsteos of the Vaisnava Acaryas.......

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Haribol I've asked this before to some Bramhachari friends. White chocolate is the only type of 'standard / non-carob' chocolate that doesn't have caffinee. However, it is still cooked by Karmi's, and will have an effect on your conciousness. It depends on what level of practice you are trying to maintain. But why not maintain the best? Why hold back on Krishna? Regarding "we are allowed the normal chocolate maltesers", i'm pretty sure that's 100% false, and i'd say that it will have cocoa in it. However, everyone has different standards. For example, I know some people who eat crisps, while I personally eat roasted peanuts/chashews from time to time. If you decide that you do want to eat chocolate, I recommend that you at least buy it from an organic supermarket type place that has carob, I'm sure the conciousness of the people who produce for those stores is at least a little better than the average karmi... but who knows. Eating foods cooked by Karmi's can cause you to fall. Be careful prabhu! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savyasaci Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 there are rumors that people in the big big chocolatte fabrics add to the chocolate blood strain from killed animals. anyway, the standard of a straight follower must be 100% though.

bhakti boy Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 sounds delish that last recipe. of course we can have white chocolate! omg i almost died when i read the above post about a "fall down". u can eat sweet things cooked by karmis (like candies, chocolates etc) it is salty things and grains u should worry about. there are pujaris here (ill keep them nameless for their privacy) who have always eaten chocolates. and they have been steady in their service for 20 years without wavering. we must be so careful to make sweeping generalizations. devotees should worry about their own salvation instead of tying to control others. haribol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwayne Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 u can eat sweet things cooked by karmis (like candies, chocolates etc) Where does Srila Prabhupada or the Sastra say this? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwayne Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Can you quote the date of the letter so I can look it up in Vedabase? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhakta Don Muntean Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 However, it is still cooked by Karmi's, and will have an effect on your conciousness. Indeed that is a quick way to become infected with someone else's modes - eat that which is made by them! In defense of the white chocolate - it's made by machines - like most packaged candies etc., so get it and offer it - we offer other things made by karmis don't we?

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 one devotee had a chocolate bar and was hiding it till SP noticed this and said: "so you are not going to give me any?". i have heard that in 70´s devotees used to use chocolate for offerings, but when they became too much addicted they had to give it up. if you look from vedabase you cannot find much about cocoa or chocolate. so i think one can take chocolate sometimes if necessary. atleast my sadhana is not spoiled if i take chocolate. but i take it only sometimes because it stimulates central nervous system' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhakti boy Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 in our temple in the 70's they also used to offer chocolate (on the altar) but i was just a baby, this is what was told to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
