other vegetables

its enough onion and garlic are not used regularly .. other items should not be used on festival days such as carrot raddish brinjal tomato cauliflower beetroot etc ..
these are rajas items and increase activity ..

onion

food taken inside also inspires the mind … onion garlic are roots of desire generation in the body … consumption of onion inspires attachment .. after consuming onion mind dwell on the issues it has enjoyed or hated … and no human effort can shake that attachment except severe sadhana .. onion also obstructs the rise of kundalini … it instantly brigs down raised kundalini down to moolaadhara ,.. eaters of onion find it impossible to take prana above neck …
creating perspiration slow breathing , rapid breathing ..and sense of fear towards sansaara and attraction to the people around ..
the breath of yogi is entirely different .. when you interact with people its the breath that interacts .. when you can catch other persons breath or are in a position to observe it while talking or listening to him/her … the other persons thought process is known .. but if your own breath is equal to theirs then this process is not possible .. sukshm breathing can only analyse sthula .. onion breath is sthula and durgandhmaya ..its coarse .. so finer elements of life cannot be known through it ..
although a sthula yogi [ who does pranayama etc ] can have excellent vashikarna by eating onion , but soon he will end with attraction of worldly beauty and again become a victim of manodaurbalya ….
kumbhaka is not possible for those who eat onions …though they may have pseudo feeling of being in kunbhaka .. external observer can see them slowly slipping breathing from periphery .. thus mano nigraha is impossible .. so its not surprising for people eating onion complaining they are not able to concentrate … they have thoughts drifting while meditation simply out of their control …
mano nigraha is a process where mind collects all its vibes going outwards into itself … but onion has a special quality of sending vibes crystal clear outwards involuntarily …without the specific effort of the consumer .. so nigraha is not possible .. as it sends involuntarily .. man feels he is excited by the outer attractions .. and thus onion becomes an aphrodisiac which gives prachodan to indriyas of the people … used to such prachodan .. when stopped eating ..temporarily people go out of excitement towards sensual pleasures .. fearing impotency people start consuming onion again .. BUt this is psychological …
