Indologist Andrei Cherepanov told socialbites.ca that onions and garlic stimulate aggression and lust in a person, which is why Hare Krishnas do not eat these plants. According to him, garlic turns a person into an animal; the person becomes more grounded and “stupid.”
“If a person strives for beauty, he must consciously choose his lifestyle, including the food he eats. Every product is affected by a certain quality of material nature. There are three of them: goodness, passion and ignorance. So, garlic and onion are products of ignorance, and there is also some passion. In India, onions and garlic are not eaten in decent homes. And they are not used at all in churches. First of all, it has very negative effects on the character. Our body is what we eat. When a person eats food that he eats with ignorance and passion, his body is filled with these energies and he begins to behave differently. It’s just stupid to say. It becomes dull and ordinary. All energy channels are blocked. As a result, the person becomes insensitive to higher things. When a person abuses garlic, it means that he becomes very angry and aggressive,” says Cherepanov.
According to him, onions and garlic also affect lust – morality suffers from this.
“The person becomes sexually obsessed. All its energy flows towards the lower chakras. And he gets busy. Like an animal. There is nothing good here either. Because if something is too much somewhere, something is missing somewhere. The higher chakras do not receive energy and the person will not be able to understand a higher philosophy; Problems start with ethics. Morality suffers. It’s a very simple mechanic, nothing fancy. Everything is explained and easy to understand. This is from a philosophical perspective. If you combine chemistry and biology, the onion creates pockets of bacteria in the body because this is the energy of ignorance,” Emin Cherepanov said.
It was previously known that there was a record in Russia price increased onion.
