We need to follow the agnas given by Bhagwan Swaminarayan by not eating onion and garlic + eating a proper vegetarian diet. If we eat the things we are not supposed to, Maharaj and Swami will not be raji with us. We can tell our friends about our niyam dharmas and talk to them about eating a proper, vegetarian diet.

In our Swaminarayan diet, it is very important we avoid tamsik foods that cause us to rage and bring our Satsang down. Even Shriji Maharaj in the Shikshapatri tells us that we won't be considered part of the sampradaya if we don't follow his agnas written in the Shikshapatri. To tell our friends who many not observe vegetarian diet, we should say it is our Gurus' agnas to main a pure diet that helps us remain pure and feel peace. The word Shaucham means to be pure on the inside and out, so when explaining our diet, we should feel proud saying that it's the right thing to do to stay in Bapa's marji and observe such a diet that doesn't harm our ecosystem. After all, if we think about it, Shriji Maharaj has full control over us and our lives. So how can we show hinsa on other jivas to fulfill our stomatchs?

a vegetarian diet,as prescribed by the hindu shastras ,is the best for progressing to the spiritual path. Members of BAPS SWAMINARAYAN SANSTHA are pure vegetarians that also don`t eat garlic and onion. according to the ADA vegetarians are at a lower risk of developing heart disease and obesity onion and garlic are tamsic foods they make people angry, hateful and lazy.

JAY SWAMINARAYAN, As we all know AHAR SHUDDHI(PURITY OF DIET) is on of the agnas of our guru Pramukh Swami Maharaj. It states that a true satsangi should not eat meat,eggs,onions,garlic or food cooked outside home. We should never eat MEAT as it is a grave sin to kill animals. it is a myth that one can only be strong if one eats meat. There are many athletes and bodybuilders who are vegetarians. We should also not eat EGGS. Pramukh Swami Maharaj himself said,"Many parents and doctors feed their children eggs in the belief that children will grow strong. many people also wrongly regard eggs as vegetarians. But, eggs do not grow on trees, do they? They come from hens; they too have life in them." Therefore to please Maharaj and Swami we all should take the niyam of not eating meat, eggs and other forbidden stuffs according to the Shikshapatri.

Jai Swaminarayan, The rishis and sages of ancient India recognized the importance of a pure diet and studied the effects of diet on a person's thoughts, actions, and atma. A vegetarian diet, as prescribed by the Hindu scriptures, is best for progressing on the spiritual path. As per a swaminarayan satsangi, we are not suppose to eat onion,garlic,asafoetida etc. We can explain our dietary niyam to our friends by telling them the disadvantages of eating prohibted food and bringing them to mandir.

I explain vegetarianism to my friends by explaining ahimsa. I explain to them that ahimsa is non-violence, and we should treat others like we want to be treated. In the same way, treating animals shouldn't be different. When we were little, we were taught the Golden Rule, and we should live up to it. When we eat onion and garlic, which are known as tamsic foods, our mind can't control itself, and things like anger and ego overtake us. We also don't eat in restaurants because we don't know how clean the place and food is, and what has exactly gone into our food. This is how I explain vegetarianism to my friends.

I share my vegetarian dietary niyams with my friends by telling them not only I do it but my whole religion does it. In my class there is a boy who is a Hindu like me. He eats meat fish eggs onion/Garlic.I always tell him to stop that. He says I'll start from tomorrow but he never. He always lies. I tell about the vegetarian dietary niyams all the time. But what does he do? Lie and never do what I say. I always keep calm because by me not eating onion/garlic I don't lose my temper and I don't be lazy not to tell him. Even though he ignores me every time

Jai Swaminarayan, This is how I explain to my friends on not eating non-veg,onion,garlic and egg : I tell them that many people get skin cancer because of eating non-veg. Eating onions and garlic will make you have a bad temper. Did you know that eating eggs is nothing less than eating a baby chick? The yellow substance inside the egg will eventually turn into a baby chick!! After hearing this many of my friends have stopped all of these addictions!!

Jay Swaminarayan My friends never do ask me why i don't eat onion or garlic. well, if they did i would always reply to them that onoin and garlic are taamsic food. I would tell them that i follow bapa's agnas and don't eat onion and garlic. I know that onion and garlic are usually things that my friends bring such as onions in shaaks and also garlic bread from the canteen. I also would tell them that i do not eat egg as i do not consider it in the vegetarian diet. This is what i would tell my friends or anyone that questioned me this question. Jay Swaminarayan

Jay swaminrayan if my friends asked me why i don't eat onion or garlic i would reply to them that onion and garlic are taamsic and that mahant swami has told us not to eat it. My friends bring it in all sorts of ways such as onion in shaak and garlic in the garlic bread from the school canteen. They always ask me if i should try some but i always ask them if it has onion or garlic. Jay swmainarayan

Jai Swaminarayan, Although my friends are not vegetarian, they respect my belief of not eating meat. To help my friends understand why I am a vegetarian I have told them about how we believe in non-violence (ahimsa). I have also told them about some of the scientific benefits. I explained that we don't eat onion and garlic, because these foods have a harmful effect on our spiritual progress.

Jay swaminarayan, When my friends ask me why I don't eat meat, fish, eggs, onion and garlic, I always used to say that it is my religion but that made my friends think that my religion is torture. I had to say that because I didn't want to explain my whole religion to them. That made me feel really uncomfortable. But one day in Sabha, we talked about how to express yourself and be strong about your religion. From that day on, I tell my friends that these things are not good for your health. I also tell them that my religion is not torture, my religion is leading me to the right path so I can be strong in the future

Jai Swaminarayan, if my friends ask me about my dietary niyams, I would say that our guru has given us the rule of ahimsa. Which means non-violence. Eating meat breaks this rule as the the animals are killed and prepared. Having a non-vegetarian diet can also lead to many diseases. Maharaj and Swami don't live in our hearts any more. If you eat onion and garlic you get bad thoughts and then do bad things. This is why it's important to stay away from these types of foods. Jai Swaminarayan.

I would say to my friends that its a very bad deed to do and a bad sin. why would you kill animals for food when you have so much other food to eat other then killing poor animals. scientists believe that people get sick, cancer, heart disease etc. like how we are stuck with the coronavirus. also it is a very healthy diet not saying its good all the time and shouldn't have some junkfood but atleast not animals. jay swaminarayan

Jai Swaminarayan. Ahimsa is said to be one of the greatest dharma in Hinduism. Therefore we should not harm or consume any animals. Animals cannot express their emotions but the truth is that they can also feel pain just like us. Even if offered in a yagna we are not allowed to eat meat, according to the Shikshapartri. Once again the Shikshapatri is a form of Maharaj, so these commands should be followed with the utmost respect. Lastly don't eat onion or garlic because it's properties can make us angry and violent. This is also Maharaj and Swami's agna so we must try our best follow their commands. As satsangis, we don't eat meat because Maharaj and Swami have said so, for our well being and Moksha.

Jai Swaminarayan, I don't eat meat because I am a vegetarian. And Maharaj has told us in shikshapatri not to eat meat and onions and garlic, because it is tamsic food, they have bad effect on our spiritual progress, which is why we should not eat.

Eating nutrititous food and keeping healthy is good for our body. It is written in the Shikshapatri that eating onion and garlic makes you think bad. The people who eat meat kill another living being (Animals) they are also killing what bhagwan has given life too. It makes you think and do bad too. that is why eating vegetarian food helps you focus and keeps you healthy. Jai swaminarayan.

Onions and Garlic are called as Taamsic Food. We satsangis don't consume onion and garlic as they increase anger. Also Bhagwan Swaminarayan has written in Shikshapatri to not eat onion, garlic and hing. It is also against of our Agnya, which has Ahar-Suddhi.

Bhagwan Swaminarayan has given us agna 'do not eat Onion and Garlic and always eat vegetarian food. So I cannot eat onion, garlic and non vegetarian food. I am following his Agna to make him happy. Also most people started eating vegetarian as the research shows that vegetarian people lives longer and healthy life.

A commonly asked question to me in school is ,"What's that?" This is a commonly asked question in school at lunchtime. When this question is asked, I reply in 2 ways. The first way is replying on the religious aspect. In this reply, I explain about how our religion teaches us to not eat certain foods. When asked ,'why?' my reply is simple. Just as you were taught not to eat dirt, I have been taught to not eat these vices. Then I reply in a scientific manner. I explain to them the benefits of a vegetarian diet. That is how I respond to these questions on my dietary niyams.

Jay Swaminararyan .When my friends ask me why don't you eat onion , garlic , eggs I say I cant eat those things because it would be against my sampraday the Swaminarayan sampraday. I even say that my god , sahajanand swami said in a scripture named shikshapatri that eating ,garlic makes you mad and my bal sanchalak said onion and garlic or foods that make you mad are called tamsick items.

Jay swaminarayan If my friends asked,"why don't you eat egg." i would reply to them, " in the the world, everyone has their own book as in the bible for the British and Kuran for the Muslims, likewise, Hindus read the Gita. I tell them that all books have written not to be non vegetarian but even if in the Gita it says not to be non vegetarian people still eat outside food and don't be vegetarian that's why our god wrote us a book named Shikshapatri which i read everyday and then get the knowledge.
