Guest guest Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Namaste DD Thanks for your answer, that is great news considering i love my spicy and tasty indian foods. Althought some swaminarayan do not eat onions and others that have become somewhat closer to god, what's with onions, is it a misconseption again!? I remember reading from a book by the ISOKCON publishers that onions and garlic interfere with meditation<< that could be one reason; but being a scientist myself, i don't think onions are bad for the body and garlic is even beeter for your health (although you will smell of it as it comes through the pores of your skin if you eat too much!)

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Namashkar, Yes that is the same ISOKCON who belive in shree krsn only. Many ppl say they are a little biased with their philosphy, it csn confuse ppl with what is reality< it definatly confused me as i read into a lot of their stuff... but i have now left my mind open since my connection and finding of the Rudraksha.
