u dnt eat onion & garlic during navratras..?? oh c'mon..

oh.. u dnt eat onion & garlic during navratras.. y dude?
Let me tell you!!

First I'll tell you the simplest reason.. that ll go inside ur brain easily.. n logic-hungry ppl ll b able 2 digest dis 1..!!

All d indian festivals n rites n rituals r made acc 2 d season.. for eg. holi marks the end of winters..

Even the food n sweets u eat during d festivals is acc 2 d season!! like u eat rewri n gajak during lohri.. All d ppl in d "festival making team of india" were very very intelligent..!!

If u notice carefully, navratras cum twice a year.. exactly when d season changes.. winters 2 summers or summers 2 winters..

The season-changing tymsof d year r d only tyms whn our immune system goes weak!! A point 2 remmbr here is that the human body finds it really difficult  2 change according to the change in season.. so dis s d tym whn v need 2 increase d positive energy in our body!
so.. it is required not 2 eat onion & garlic during navratras..
hEnCe PrOvEd..!! :D


NOW.. tym 4 a lil experiment.. for the ppl who meditate daily.. (dis s nt specifically in relation 2 navratras.. bt in general 4 d whole year..
The crowd that is meditating on a regular basis and still dsnt noe d difference btwn eating n not eating onion, heres a small game.. for a week continue wid ur normal diet n meditate as normal 20mins a day.. thn nxt week.. have a sattvik diet or jst tk care nt 2 tk onion garlic in ur food.. n meditate as earlier.. YoU WiLl AcTuAlLy MeDiTaTe!!
It ll b a totally different type of xperience.. u ll urslf realise wat d words "calm" "compose" "peaceful" "dispassion" mean!!
The buddhists avoid onion garlic 4 d same reason.. it disturbs meditation..
This is sumthin that made me realise d difference :) 

According to India's Classic Medical science, foods are grouped into three categories - sattvic, rajasic and tamasic - foods in the modes of goodness, passion and ignorance. Onions and garlic, are classified as rajasic and tamasic, which means that they increase passion and ignorance.
Moreover, garlic is an aphrodisiac.
Any of you who are organic gardeners know that if you don't want to use DDT, garlic will kill anything in the way of insects:D
eXpErImEnT nO. 2- You can rub a clove of garlic on your foot - on the sole of your foot - and you can smell it shortly later on your wrists. So it penetrates the body.
 
In the Bhagwad Gita Lord Krishna advises:-
"Foods that are too bitter, too sour, salty, hot, pungent, dry n burning r dear 2 dose in d mode of passion. such foods cause distress, misery n disease."
and this is so true!!
Even the Chinese mythological scriptures write the same :O

for ppl wanting 2 read more.. visit d link.. u ll cum 2 know all d biological science behind hw garlic is poisonus to brain cells & how much it affects our central nervous system.. if sum1 of u is a doc, he/she ll bettr undrstand it.. I found it a bit difficult reading abt d ions- penetrate thing..

Health & happiness :)
