I have to say coming here today I am really shocked by the negative comments on this post. No one is making anyone do anything. If you want to eat garlic please do, but attacking this person is really not useful or helpful in any way. It is interesting that people get so incensed about garlic. Too bad we can't raise this level of interest in poverty and world peace, climate change, and hunger.
Must be the power seeking asura blood running through our garlic enhanced veins. I don't know why people feel the need to attack it, the story is interesting and I'm glad to have come across it at random.

If we use science to test the hypothesis, we may in fact find that it is true... or we may not. More research needed.
yogavedanta There is no one to be shocked.
yogavedanta i dont usually eat garlic but i grow it in my garden. i have cfs and was recommended to eat it especially the young shoots, the results were not good, as i try to practice celibacy, if you know what i mean . also found it a affected my meditation.

Could be a nocebo effect. I wonder what would happen if we changed your beliefs about garlic to the point where you sincerely believed it would aid your meditation and your celibacy. Mind over matter :)
It's not really about being over sexual or having demon's blood in it. It's about rajasic, satvic and tamasic properties of foods that yogis pay attention to. It's not that garlic is bad. It should definitely be injested for health reasons. But when a person begins a serious meditative practice, then rajasic foods like onions and garlic should be avoided so the mind can settle. And, yes, they tend to excite ones personality. So, really, there are times when they should be consumed and times when they should be avoided from the yogic perspective. A lot of these viewpoints are substantiated in the Taoist traditions too. When you meditate, you just become more sensitive to energies. And, so, for someone who Is in a situation like that it becomes more important to pay attention to the subtleties of the energies of the plants.
You are a person who is non-indian but have still given an excellent reply to this question. Great.
Hats off to your knowledge Douglas... Your explanation is so clear and logical.
yes, good comment
Douglas DuLac .. Garlic is Tamsic in nature.
Douglas DuLac your comment was more insightful and accurate. Thanks
The lady was just sharing a cultural tale of the creation of garlic, there's no need to project anger towards her. When one reads the stories of how things came to be in Greek mythology, the symbols and storyline gets quite colourful too. She never said she is explaining the science of garlic. She said she is sharing an ancient tale. And it's a tale rich in symbolism.
No one minds her telling stories. She sweepingly claimed that people on a spiritual path should actually avoid garlic because of this myth. That is reason for the both the sceptic and the mystic to object.
just made multiple mistakes in the story narrated from the Srimad Bhagavatham. Thats the reason for comments about it.
I will vouch with my life that Ramana Maharishi would have never said this boring story
Hmmm Did Ramana ever say... “my children... sit down and listen”. Somehow, that feels absolutely incorrect to me.
Prashanth Uma Shanker Ganapathy 😂😂😂😂😂😂
i may be wrong but i thought Ramana was a Mouna [ silent ] Saint who did not speak
jconearth No, he was not a mouna. He spoke.
Whole story is made up. You can make it out but just seeing and her face and her narration. Ramana Maharishi never spoke anything to anyone. In fact, all his answers to people's questions were in writing. This video is ridiculous.
What comes out of the mouth is more important than what goes into it. I love garlic.
Have not eaten garlic for almost a year and didn't notice any bodily shortcomings so far! My body doesn't seem to miss it, as it didn't when I stopped eating meat and fish 20 odd years ago. So, off the menu it goes(together with onions). I eat a bowl of fresh fruits every day, however and some vegetable juice and bread, and occasional nuts like almonds, some oatmeal, that suffices, it seems. For me at least it does. Namaste.
+Don Bierman Bread is not good to eat......same with too much fruit. It raises the blood sugar.
And you think that's a bad thing?
❤️
@@bsaver5942 The fibre in fruit lowers blood sugar.
garlic, onions and mushrooms increase sex drive. they make the yogi agitated. that's pretty much it
EXACTLY
ya but how????? thats the main thing here HOWWWW????
alio op yep
Eating garlic and onion increases your immune system's strength. When you eat onion and garlic you hardly get sick ! So the intending Conquerors try to influence the intended to be conquered these stories to make them weak easily conquered since they don't eat garlic ! The conquers usually write the history and become the religious leaders because they have the power. All the while the Conquerors eat a lot of these good foods to be strong and easily win the battles . It has happened all over the world.
My monk mentor said the same thing
Yes, it is true that Ramana Maharshi indeed told the story about garlic plant to his disciples. In the book named " spiritual stories as told by Ramana Maharshi" page number 17, the story about garlic plant is mentioned. But there is some discrepancy in this video when it compared to that of the book. But essence of this video is the same as mentioned in the book. Let me quote from the book " It is very good for the body. But since it also has the touch of the demon, it has tamasic qualities too, which when eaten affect the mind. Hence , it is forbidden for sadhakas. " It is known fact in India that garlic is not part of sattvic food.
Therefore people who are in spiritual path should avoid taking garlic.
This story never happened. Maharshi never talked so much....
Exactly ;P It's fine to share such stories, but she shouldn't falsely associate it with Ramana Maharshi, who's name she also didn't pronounce correctly.
True. This is fake

He talked to the seekers .Get clarified.
Why are their so many critics on this video? She's not spewing hatred towards a specific group of people. She's not causing any harm. She told a story that was interesting. Some say she wasn't a great story teller, but she did try. Nothing she did should've offended anyone. Too many of the commenters here are overly sensitive.
Eating one raw garlic clove every day brings lot of change in one's body. I personally experienced lowering of BP and cholostrol.
She is full of parasites and worships the serpent, that is why she looks so dark and evil.
This is wonderful news to me. I am happy to know the reason why I am not eating garlic in my meditation practices, and thereafter. I thank you very much for this beautiful story. My love to you as thanks for your generosity.
From my heart to your heart...
S.V. Ramanathan and M. V. Krishnan, sons of Munagala S. Venkataramiah came to the Ashram with their parents in the summer of 1930. They were just thirteen and ten years of age. One morning they were standing near the old dining hall (where now Sri Bhagavan's samadhi stands) when Ramu, the elder brother, remarked that for the last few days no onion sambar had been tasted by them. At that precise moment Sri Bhagavan was passing by the boys, as he was returning from the kitchen. He smiled and asked Ramu: "So, you want vengaaya (onion) sambar!" The boys blushed and kept quiet. Next morning, the boys were served with vengaaya sambar. Everybody thought it was onion sambar. Sri Bhagavan later in the day asked Ramu how he relished the sambar to which he replied: "Very well." Ramu, however, was surprised to know the truth only a few days later when his mother told him that what he ate was not onion but garlic sambar! There was no onion at that time in the Ashram and yet Sri Bhagavan wanted to fulfil the boy's wish. Through his expert culinary knowledge, he brought the smell and taste of onion to garlic itself!
This was just an example to show that garlic was sometimes used in cooking by Sri Ramana Bhagwan himself. Ofcourse that was for sake of others. Garlic is definitely forbidden for sadhaka. But to use bhagwan's words "who will listen to such instructions?".
i watched the whole 9 minutes waiting for her to say something....
lool...same here:)
David Hu hahahahaha:)
:-) same here
Ufff good! it was not just me that didn't get why is garlic supposed to be bad after all that story.
@@InefableTheodear story tells that since garlic contains demons blood so you too will acquire all negative qualities of demon like anger agitation lust greed due to some chemicals in it which gives these negative effects if you look by scientific way.
I try to follow the Path of Sri Ramana and Sri Jesus but I do not follow the dietary rules of the rules of the Hindu's. I only know that before I started to take 2 Shaklee garlic tablets a day I was frequently sick with colds and flu's and other illnesses of that type. Since I started taking garlic in that form which was when I was 40 y/o I have had almost no respiratory infections and that was 30 years ago.
Albert Nygren please listen ug Krishnamurti and 🐯🐯🐯🐯🐯🐯🐯✌✌✌✌✌✌👌👌👌👌😚😚😚😚
Albert Nygren stop bringing Jesus every time sick of that shit
Albert Nygren wtf is Sri Jesus converting missionaries Abraham is fake shit
cold and flus are provoked by the ingestion of dairy products and too much gluten which creates inflammation in the head especially the sinus and the respiratory tract. If you stop eating dairy and reduce the amount of gluten you will never get the cold or flu
I could not stop 😂 laughing when Albert wrote Shri Jesus that was really hilarious
Aye aye aye. So many people commenting mindlessly without critical thinking. Ramana maharshi's story is a parable.
Though the garlic has many curative properties by virtue of having been born of amrit, it is tainted with asura's blood -- this means it promotes tamasa and aggravates the demonic tendencies in human beings.
He basically told a long story that was easy to remember, so that you would remember the essence of the story -- that garlic, for all its curative properties, accentuates the negative tendencies in the mind which lead to spiritual downfall. Hence, Yogis avoid garlic. Such tamasik properties, cause it to create disturbances in the prana, which is ultimately what the Yogi aims to control.
This is the story you tell kids, there is a grown up version thats way more logical
According to Ayurveda, the ancient system of Indian medical practice, garlic and onions are considered Rajasic and Tamasic foods, and are not Satvic foods. We must east as many satvic foods (foods that are conducive to peace of mind; fruits and green leafy vegetables, rice, beans, wheat, milk and yogurt, etc. ) as possible and avoid rajasic and tamasic foods. Also, they are supposed to generate "heat" in our body (read: they cause sexual arousal or increase libido, as ginseng does), and so yogis and monks avoid them. The story this lady told is mythological: it is just a myth.
Yesh Prabhu, Bushkill, Pennsylvania
Y do you repeatedly say 'its a myth its a myth'?
good question.
No to milk. No adult needs to consume cow's milk.It is for baby cows and is not good for humans.Calves fed pasturized milk die!
Its also a cruel industry so dont support it.
Milk causes mucus. Which causes disease. So, milk is meant to feed a 600 pound animal that’s not our species… Do other animals drink other species milk?
@@imspatial4151mucus is an important part of the innate immune system. I.e. it is good for you!
No onions and no garlic is part of the sattvic diet, which is the yogic diet. All traditional schools of yoga and yogic philosophy encourage us to avoid onions and garlic.
The negative comments on this vid are a reflection of the ignorance of those commenting.
I have an amusing story to share.
The first time Yug Purush Swami Parmanand Mataraj was invited to Joshua Tree, CA to give a week-long retreat in 2003, I was asked to please be in charge of the cooking for Swami-ji and the retreat goers...being that I had some knowledge of Indian cooking.
Shri Natha Devi Premananda, who hosted this event, pulled me aside the evening before and said, "Look, anything you want to do...but the food has to be cooked without garlic & onions...so better make bland soups."
Somewhat deflated and a bit skeptical, I prepared the first evening meal of the retreat according to her directions.
It was very quiet during dinner, and I noticed that Swami-ji seemed crest-fallen...hardly eating his meal. His interpreter came over to me quietly and asked me whether we could do something about the food...it was very tasteless.
(Swami-ji is from the state of Uttar Pradesh)
Since I grew up with a love of Indian food, taught by my dear Mother, it was something that came joyfully to me.
From that moment on, I resolved to do what Swami-ji asked...not the 'idea' of some self-styled American guru trying to impress her Swami by locking me up in her mind cage.
It was right and proper to give our wonderful guru a banquet feast every night, so I did just that...and cooked his favorite hometown foods & sweets to our mutual inspiration!
He was very very happy.... garlic, onions & all!
He shared with me this:
Things are only what you believe them to be.
thanks for the story!
This lady shared a story and titled the video using keyword yogis. A yogi and seeker would NEVER make hurtful, shallow, low class comments. If this video is not a good fit for what you are looking for there are plenty of other videos out there that you will find appealing and entertaining.
i don't want to question the authenticity here, but it's always nice to share the sources...
I had the fortune of coming in contact with a spiritual master who never called himself a Guru but has helped ever so many people both in their wordly life as well as spiritual & ate all kinds of vegetarian food including garlic & onion.his own Guru a Mahaavathar, did the same.it is not the food but your attitude to life matters.
Question is: does the existence of this ancient folklore give yogis good reason not to eat garlic. We must first ask: is the story actually true...
A couple of things to consider
The demons were rahu and ketu blood from one made garlic and from the other made onion.
These plants have medicinal value!
Many Hindus who don't take garlic/onion do not practice any particular spiritual discipline other than puja!
The Myth makes reference to kundalini yoga. So if you do any kundalini practice then garlic onion are contraindicated. If I were engaged in kundalini yoga I'd not take them unless for therapy for a given amount of time and maybe stop the practice at that time. But for most of the population who don't do yoga, it is fine.
Finally this myth is not really indicative of the teachings of Bhagwan Ramana Maharishi who was more a teacher of awareness of consciousness. The myth of Dakshinamurthy is much more aligned to him as a person. Hope that was helpful.
lol , they are toxic
Eat garlic but meditate more! Be a meditation fanatic not a food fanatic. Sometimes over eating is a lot worse than eating some foods.
+Sedona2014 : You have the best comment.Especially this is evident, if you look at BMI across cities and countries.You may look at my comment written above.
I was completely confused by this story it's so badly told that it's hard to follow
Use logic how could blood from demons mouth could turn out to be garlic it 😂 is beyond reality that's why it is a mythological story which is not rational at all but then anything can be possible in eyes of God except making my wishes come true
@@Sumit-sp1fr the garlic plant growed there. You use your common sense. Where blood of demon fell there garlic plants grow out and because it was blood mix with amrit so garlic had medicinal properties and because it is demon blood so it gives negative effects too.
Never try to convince anybody about what you know, what you can or who you are it will only be like offering food for someone when they are not hungry,
On the the other hand tack what make sense and live the rest, why wast the enrage
You say garlic is Man made 🤔 that's îs not good similar to GMO ? Thanks
Excellent video .Dr Sahay has done a wonderful job narrating the story of the ocean churning from Hindu mythology.This video explains the mythological significance of garlic and should not be confused with the medicinal properties.To all dear friends please note , if we can pause a minute gather some patience, an open heart and mind that can introspect knowledge will shine.Garlic and ginger is used in almost all the popular Indian dishes and is also a major ingredient in western and chinese cooking,if you notice carefully this improves the taste of the preparation and very clearly it can be seen how the thought of consuming tasty food engulfs ones mind and pampers one to indulge in these food preparations,this is called the rajas or tamo nature because it makes one loose track of his spiritual goal and could lead him to the thought of food,sleep etc which works against the spiritual path,spiritual path requires will power,determination,concentration,discipline and sacrifice.So you can see how overindulgence in food defeats that purpose.However if you were to take out the garlic from the food being cooked there is no more the power of indulgence engulfing your mind,we call this nascent condition as satva because it is quite bland and calm in nature and takes you one step forward in trying to reach your spiritual goal.You may call this scientific or mythical the reality is one has to experience it to really feel the difference ,personally I have felt it.For some the difference can be noted pretty fast ,but for others it could take a while ,so be patient ,experiment and then things will be clear.
That was so wonderful, thank you very much. I thought you told this story very beautifully, very descriptive and informative also, it is a good story. Thank you
when we are on the spiritual path and we realise that you are truely the spirit and one with the Brahm you reallise that all this what we see around "me" is the manifestation of my own self and "I" am the cause of all reality.There is no good no evil no right no wrong. when "I" realise this i also realise these are all stories.They may or may not be true. In what way does any event in the past make any thing auspicious or not auspicious
If Garlic is good for health. Health which is required to sustain this body which is the vehicle where this manifestation temporarily resides then by all means have Garlic.
I had purchased a book in the ramana ashram book store( arunachalam). This book has some 50 short stories on lord shiva glories, his ardent bhakas stories ,imp shiva temples etc.... In that this story of garlic is written. This was the only book Bhagvan used to read before enlightened.
Very interesting video, I have always wondered why garlic having so many medicinal properties is still not acceptable on path of meditation.
Thank you and god bless you.
The key word being "medicinal". Yogis know this, what they don't support is cooking with it, on a regular
There was a time when stories like this passed as spiritual knowledge. The reason advaita is so popular in the west is because we've had our fill of biblical tales and want the pure knowledge of non-duality. Not this quaint and silly stuff.
I do not agree with this... It is a known fact that Garlic is a good source to increase sex urges. So in order to keep themselves away from these urges some communities have prohibited Garlic in their cooking... Even as per Ayurveda, Garlic is very good for health.. And we use almost in every curry in India.
+Deepu TheRebel This is precisely what the video is saying
Yes, increased vitality means body health and resulting improvement in sex desire.
So the budding celibate would rather forego improvements in vitality if it'll reduce sexual desire Haha.
Interestingly Shri Ramana used to suffer from constipation and according to ayurveda, onion helps that problem. But probably no onion or garlic on the ashram menu.
I HAVE NOTICED THAT SINCE MY KUNDALINI AWAKENING I CANNOT EAT GMO FOODS, BEEF & CERTAIN FOODS, GARLIC etc. MY CONSCIOUSNESS AFTER EATING BEEF INCREASES MY LIBIDO.SIMILAR EFFECT WITH GARLIC.
I AM NOW GLUTEN INTOLERANT SO MY DIET IS MORE RESTRICTIVE. BUT I HAVE MORE INNER JOY & PEACE.
Who is it that eats or does not eat the garlic ??
+cspace1234nz it is i that sometimes eats and sometimes does not eat. How about you?
+daisilui .....yes, sometimes I too imagine that I am eating or not eating !
No one.
cspace1234nz no one 😉
Only de mind 😉
Another 30 seconds of this I will be fully asleep.
Thank you for this explaining this big story and also thank everyone for the responses. For me it is clear now why we as yogis avoid heat creating nutrition as that creates restlessness in the mind. Om shanti
You`re welcome, Laura! Om Shanti 🙏🕉️💜
Very nice story. I'm not sure I agree with it, but I might try to cut out garlic for a few months as a test.
Thank you Ma. You have a white aura in this video; it’s clear you are on a spiritual path. BLESSINGS.
She looks like dark satan.
when i eat garlic women avoid me . if i want to be a monk i should stuff my face with it . this is just my experience .
Thanks for recounting this wonderful story. Very interesting.
Thought garlic was supposed to be a good blood cleanser? Though may give rise to an inexplicable latent aggression, judging by some comments on this thread, who may need to cut down on their garlic intake?
Raw ginger has all the powers of garlic, and those who do not want to eat garlic can use ginger for culinary and curative purposes without any of the negative qualities of garlic such as strong smell that some people find noxious, etc. AyurvEdic specialists classify garlic its as having a tAmasic quality while ginger's pungency is saatvik according to them. I can vouch for that differentiation from my use of ginger for the last 18 years almost daily although I am not trained in AyuRvEdism. Also, I have read a modern book on garlic (I believe from the Chinese herbalist tradition) which says the daily use of garlic can cause kidney stones.
lol truly enjoy ginger root
Everybody is entitled to an opinion. Or just an onion, like garlic. It has nothing to do with Ramana's teachings. Apart from the fact that every opinion is free to have. In consciousness, every meaning or truth is equally right or wrong. Deeper meaning or inner nature is beyond consciousness. Live your life/ truth in honesty and nothing is wrong. Bliss to all.
Doesn't this also apply to all powerful medicines ?
They can all be harmful in the wrong dosage.
very convoluted and superstitious explanation to ban a healthy food.
+JanCarol11 Nobody is banning anything. Everyone has a choice.
Ramana Maharshi is very wonderful! 🧡
With my spiritual path I've also really liked watching lots of Sri Avinash Do myself lately. #SriAvinash 💗
It feels like my life has changed so much just from seeing his talks.
Hi I'm searching for ramana maharishi voice are there any audio voice clippings of Ramana , I'm so wondered there are no such videos or audio... Can anyone share if available
Namasté beautiful lady, you are so expressive and gentle thank you to share this vidéo .
there are so many esoteric relevance in this story.... but a good one and yes I don't eat Garlic, but remember thre is esoteric symbolism in this story
Garlic gives you a bad breath smell.
And thats the only bad thing out of the 1000 benefits.
Dharma Vidya - Dhanyvaad Dr. Sahay
How bout Onion? Onion is tasty as well!
+richard dietl same family
Why don't u display ur words in text and put it on screen instead of speaking it urself at snail pace...closing vid at 2min 14 secs.
Thanks for the info. I never new that. A lot more detail on the stories of the churning. It sound funny and silly in English but when you speak the Indian lauguage or Vedic Language. You know it’s serious and real. When you translate language from it original language. It looses all it meaning 10 x fold. That why it sound like a fantasy storie. Great video.
I eat vegetarian diet without onion and garlic that what called is satvik diet
you could have told the last 1 min in the first would have saved my 10 miin time....
look, people who attempt to climb mount great mountains do not care about their safety in the same way that the ordinary man or woman does. In the same way, a yogi who is extremely focused on a certain goal does everything in his or her power to get there.. this might mean not eating meat or garlic, or having sex with one's only wife. However, another person can be enlightened and do whatever or eat whatever. In that case, you must change your whole idea about this project. this thing called enlightenment . maybe it is not worth striving for. maybe there is no such thing... maybe you just want to learn selflessness, achieve peace of mind, or get out of your own way.. It is certainly not about making garlic bad.
With due respect ma'm are we sure that this story can be attributed to Shri Ramana Maharshi's
We shud eat this in Tamil our ancestors said 4000 years before "unavae marunthu" that means "food is medicine"
great soul is vivekanda as per documentary
why are so many people who seem to be too dumb to understand the meaning of the story posting comments criticising it? This story means that garlic, has wonderful health benifits (highlighted by how it is formed from amritha which gives immortality) and how it also creates certain changes like increased sexual vigour and reduced mental abilities (symbolically represented by mixing of asura blood) simultaneously. There is no need for anyone who doesnt understand this to post abusive criticisms here. It is an educative story taught to children in gurukuls so that they learn about garlic. If you thnk its dull, then either you fail to understnd the meaning of the story or you have a habit of scoffing everything.
1. Highly doubt if its Ramana Maharishi's story. 2. Asuras were never dumb people. else the devas would have either jobbed the entire churning to them or done it themselves. Interpretations of this story is literal and is definitely not the reason yogis don't eat garlic. It is something else, please consult several evolved Yogis before you announce it to the world or say something on their (yogi's) behalf.
Maharshi ate garlic. It was freely used is ashram kitchen. Maharshi even said to many brahmins that there was no harm if they ate garlic
My take is the brahmin caste stopped eating garlic because they did a lot of consulting and teaching and did not want it on their breath. Then, as they do in India, they made a mythology about it.
Ramana Maharishi spoke in few words to the seekers who visited him.Ofcourse he recommended SATVIC diet for them.
I don't believe this at all. Indra is always defamed as rude and arrogant. But, in actuality, Indra was a great person who practiced Brahmacharya for 108 years. Isn't it great??
A very interesting and beautiful story. Full of wisdom. Thanks for uploading it. I am very grateful.
Anyone who has ever eaten garlic mashed potatoes or sauteed with mushrooms, onion and olive oil would certainly know that garlic is heaven sent and definitely not from the Asuras!
Just saw this today. I appreciate anyone on the spiritual path therefore not attacking the person who has uploaded this. But just to say that there are multiple misunderstandings and misinformations in the context of what was spoken in this upload. The essence was lacking and there were many mistakes in the authenticity of the episode. Please read the Srimad Bhagavatham Canto 8 to get the right clarifications on this story. It has a very symbolic reference to all our lives. But yes, Ramana Bhagavan did mention this story and yes, garlic is not a saathvik vegetable. One truly on the spiritual path should avoid it. Most Vaideekaas would have never eaten garlic in their lives. Whilst still learning, it is probably best to not proclaim anything considering ourselves to be a Guru, especially things that we are not sure about.
Ramana being an excellent chef cooked very spicy delicious food, but when questioned was his food too tamasic for spiritual life, he adamantly claimed that it wasn't
i tried to feed garlic to an elephant once but the elephant wouldn't eat it. so we're all right and wrong at the same time somehow. it really makes you wonder
Yogis are not the only people who don't advise eating garlic. If you do research, you'll see that.
Thank you madam for this information through a beautiful story.Many told me to avoid garlic while doing meditations.
What BS? Demons blood in garlic..
This is laughable spirituality..
Ramana talks very less and very much to the point and does not tell stories like this.... He would do the job by just asking a thought provoking question.. serious..
and very slow narration Dr.Nalini !
I’m a yogi and I do, and I know lots of yogis who do
excellent narration, very true, garlic is medicine, we consume medicine when sick
I'm listening to an overweight chick telling me to abstain from garlic. Amazing!!
Sudarshan Chakra is believed to be given by Lord Shiva to Lord Vishnu as a gift. The same is given by Lord Parshurama to Lord Krishna
Karma Preme wrote 2 weeks ago: "I am sorry mother for all the people who insulted you." She is an insult to herself. Instead of trying to teach a lot of nonsense to others, she needs to try learning.
I am a yogi, I eat garlic. I do everything really. A still mind is not essential.
Thumbs up! Thank you for the story!
Our guru never spoke so much...
Thank you
Thank you Douglas because I'm very busy here and don't know if I want to spend 9 Minutes on an anecdote when somebody could put something as simply as you.. I started to watch this and she's just milking it and talkin so slowly explaining the story.. I just have so much to do today ! .. so thank you for saving me time and explaining what she's going to say..once again, thank you.
great soul is vivekanda
Ramana Bhagavan would have told this story to someone who was a ‘Grihastha’ sadhakas. Sadhakas usually avoid Garlic and onion. However, there is no bar on taking garlic and onion for those who have achieved control over the senses.
Yoga and Onion (from Sri Sai sacharitha)
Once it so happened that, a Sadhaka came to Shirdhi with Nanasaheb Chandorkar. He had studied all works on yoga, including the yoga sutras of Patanjali, but had no practical experience. He could not concentrate his mind and attain 'samadhi' even for a short time. He thought that if Sai Baba (Shirdi) will be pleased with him, he will show him the way to attain ‘samadhi', for a longer time. With this object in view, he came to Shirdi and when he went to the Masjid he saw Sai Baba (Shirdi) eating Chappathi with ONION. On seeing this, a thought crossed his mind: how can this man, eating stale bread with raw onion, solve my difficulties and help me" Sai Baba (Shirdi) read his mind and said to Nana Saheb, "Oh Nana, he WHO HAS THE POWER TO DIGEST ONION, SHOULD EAT IT and NONE ELSE."' Hearing this remark, the yogi was wonder-struck and, he fell at Baba's Feet with complete surrender. With pure and open mind, he related his difficulties and got their solution from Baba. Thus, being satisfied ad happy, he left Shirdi with Baba's ‘Udi’ and blessings.
This is not said by ramanamahrishi. Only thing he write about "Who I am ?"
it was written in Nan Yar that consuming sattvic foods in controlled quantities will help atma vichara
Asuna take what? Can not get this part clearly.
Onion and garlic are both hot-tempered food. Onion and garlic do also thin the blood and it is used in ayurveda for the said purpose. It is adopted by some communities in their daily life practice... all other stories are simply rituals... Yes it is doesn't apply to all people because some has to eat hot tempered food, and some should not...
This is nonsense. Without occasional garlic and onion you will eventually end up with intestinal parasites.

I love these stories
