Hindutva Brahmin Cultural Imposition - No onion and garlic in midday meals served to students

[Shankranthi]

the reason for the prohibition of onion/garlic by IskCOn /Akshaya Patra has to do with their food classification (sattva/good/brahmin vs rajas/tamas/bad/non brahmin) and not killing

Onions and garlic, and the other alliaceous plants are classified as rajasic and tamasic, which means that they increase passion and ignorance.

It should be pointed out that Garlic and onion are avoided by spiritual adherents because they stimulate the central nervous system, and can disturb vows of celibacy. Garlic is a natural aphrodisiac.

All of which is true.

For students who also brahmachari, its best to avoid food and other stimulation that can distract them from their lives ambition.

It makes your student life easier.

The last thing one needs is a extra horny student / teenager who spends more time fantasizing about girls than focusing on his life.

your claim that anyone can be brahmin contradicts with Krishna's command - which he had emphasized twice in the Bhagavad Gita (BG) i.e one should not change his/her varna

BG chapter 3 :35

It is far better to discharge one's prescribed duties, even though they may be faulty than another's duties. Destruction in the course of performing one's own duty is better than engaging in another's duties, for to follow another's path is dangerous.

BG chapter 18 text 47

It is better to engage in one's own occupation, even though one may perform it imperfectly, than to accept another's occupation and perform it perfectly. Prescribed duties, according to one's nature, are never affected by sinful reactions.

I fail to see the problem.

Its better for a academician to be a better teacher than a CEO. Its better for a soldiers to master the art of killing than publish research papers about life of bees.

Better to be a master of one, than be a jack of all trade.

Its best to find a vocation best suited to your nature, than be in a job that you hate.

you failed to comprehend Krishna instructions in the gita..

using your analogy , what krishna said - an academician should remain as an academician even if his work is imperfect (bad teacher) than take up another profession i.e CEO in which he can excel. Better to be a bad teacher (brahmin) than a good CEO (vaishya)

lol. So your logic is that krishna is telling Arjuna just before entering battle that he should have been a cook and not an archer and warrior ?

This when he is expressing doubts about killing his family for dharma, in a war he is reluctant to fight ?

This is truly sad. In the US there are amish people who don't use modern technology ie. electricity, cars, etc. and try to live away from urban areas, sticking to their traditional values. Are there areas where "true" Hindu lifestyle is found?

Haha...thats such an innocent question. Brahmins dont till the land except some small exceptions here and there (though there many brahmin landlords) ..they come in only when the food is produced to demand share (freely) as alms or donation ..they simply consume. In addition they treat the producers of food with contempt - give them the lowest caste. They do not generally have any skills that India is historically known for such as handicrafts, cultivation, some smith work, temple architecture . They only know exploitation, manipulation and seek to control information (like sanskrit mumbo jumbo which masses dont know) . Asking them questions about actual production or actual skills is useless and you only get mumbo jumbo answers.

is modi a brahmin or their puppet? brahmin are supposed to be elite class but modi is a fking chai walla?

He comes from a bania caste which was classified (wrongly in my opinion) as backward class in 1996 by BJP for political reasons. Banias are generally brahmin allied castes or "puppet".

I don't understand this mumbo jumbo. Tell me who are these effing Brahmins!!! They seem to call lots of problem for the world.

.

You are actually so fortunate to be free of influence of these people and only wonder about them in forums like this. Your are lucky you had a statesman like Jinnah who understood the morality of Islam and had the uprightness of a fine western gentleman. He understood what brahmins are up to in the name of democracy and was not willing to throw muslims under the bus for some ministerial positions granted by congress. Brahmins were already reading the scripts to divide muslims on basis of ashraf, syed are whatever it is and play the hindu game on them. Unfortunately some Indian muslims do fall for it. But Jinnah would have none of it.

I make it simple for you,

as a Kshatria Arjuna didnt want to fight, he wanted to take up renunciation of a brahman, this was disapprove by Krishna, in his command to Arjuna - "better to engage in one's own occupation (warrior-Kshatriya), even though one may perform it imperfectly, than to accept another's occupation (renunciate - brahman) and perform it perfectly."

Yup. That is exactly what Krishna did.

Told him its better to do what you know best i.e. fight to establish dharma , rather than run away like a coward and leave the public to their fate.

If Arjuna wanted to renunciate the kshatriya dharma , he should have done it before he instigated and worked towards that war. Right then on that battle field he had a responsibility and running away from responsibility is not renunciation, its just cowardice in the face of great odds.

Abhi Nandan also didn't eat onion and garlic and his concentration was "Phantastic"....

This talk of dharma is all cute but in reality caste is tribal and based on blood...the only dharma is exploiting the ones below in caste hierarchy. Brahmins grabbed the most leisurely and lucrative jobs - priest was a lucrative job in past which guaranteed a rock solid shelter and free food for life where the alternative is rain dependent brutal labor in hot indian summer. Brahmins became kings where they can, landlords, businessmen - they became clerks under beef eating british when that became lucrative. They shed clothes and started kissing on silver screen when cinema became respectable and lucrative. While at the same time they wanted death for muslims eating beef, death for muslims asking independence in kashmir, humilating jobs like cleaning excreta to hindu other castes. etc.

Brahmin is not a "caste", its VARNA.

Anyone can become a "brahmin" based on his GUNA or "Nature". The same way anyone can eat a Satvik Food and lifestyle depending on their GUNA or NATURE.

Beyond that, you are free to assume anything that helps you live with your Hinduphobia. Not my problem.

wow ..there are billion plus hindus --have you ever seen someone changing caste and become brahmin ? there are lies and there are brahmin lies which put even goebbels to shame. Brahmin is simply born not a promotion nor does anyone apply to become a brahmin. Notice they never say anyone can become a jat or yadav or chamar. It is only the brahmin - the idea here is brahmin is some top notch behavior and highly desirable whereas in reality they have the worst of characters.
