Thank you for the video Dada.
I'm vegan for 3 yrs now and no alcohol, tobacco etc either.
I do eat onion, garlic and occassionally mushrooms, but i don't have any cravings for any tamsic foods. So much has changed in me after i went vegan, that nowadays no food attracts my senses, i eat only when I'm hungry and just to keep the body healthy. It seems that slowly I'm moving towards one meal a day, since i dont feel hungry. I do my runs and yoga in the mornings but not get hungry until noon. I eat a well balanced cooked vegan lunch and in the evenings before sunset i just eat some fruits. Feel great energy throughout the day/night. Namaskar.
Try to go completely sattvic and observe the difference.
Your diet structure is similar to mine, though I am certaintly not a vegan. Coffee in morning, paneer butter masala with jeera rice at noon, and mango and coconut water around 6 PM. It's strange, if I don't do yoga or exercise, my mind gets convinced that it needs to eat more food!
Great sleep and wonderful energy right now. I'm trying to ween off the coffee drug, but it fits into my routine at the moment. And if I don't drink coffee, the mind believes that it needs to eat breakfast!
shanky k Hi you should share your food recipe with us. Thanks
I have tried for many times but somehow fall out of the vegan, environment matters alot

What a nice dude
THat`s a true, that`s a very true. Thank you)
Namaskar Dada, thank you for nice lecture. Greeting from Vietnam.
After 39 days of fasting..only water and another consecutive 20 days of vegetables, fruits no meat or fish. neither dairy products I made a garlic soup ( at least 200 grams of garlic ) despite that I was advised that I should avoid garlic and onion by buddhist monks . After two hours my sexual desires were increased dramatically and I had to go to " a massage house " immediately . Years latter happenned the same, with prawns. The first time I was in Seoul and the second in Egypt.
I remember that during these 60 days of no consumption of animal food my body was shaking and I thought that was insufficient " protein " . I ate at least 36 boiled yolks ( no fat ) and still my body was shaking frequently .
After a few days I understood that my body was demanding " something " and I could not identify what it was. I went to the supermarket and I asked to my body " what is your need ?" after a few minutes I was buying beef and I bought 200 grams of beef. Once at home I was going to cook the meat but I had an strange feeling and I cutted a small piece of raw meat and I chewed ....instantly my body was totally relaxed. In this precise time I understood that my body was demanding " fat " and then understood why yoguis drink small quantities of milk.
yes you need fat to live
Hi Dada,
I'm in a relationship and my partner had a problem with eating too little and having an emotional trauma based on food suppression. I find myself having difficulty because I am empathic to her state of mind and see the unfolding nature of fear and how it takes time to unravel its clutches on the body and mind.
How can I change my diet while still being respectful of her inclination to indulge frequently, and not participate, without feeling guilty, and instead having compassion and love?
Thank you for your great videos. Your messages resonates with me and I find it really helpful.
I have been on a vegan diet for 6 weeks now. Although I feel very healthy and good energy, I have lost quite some weight even though I eat a very balanced diet and try to increase the daily intake. I have started adding eggs and diary to also help prevent further weight loss and it helps but not regaining lost weight.
I feel drawn to add fish to my diet as my family is concerned of my weight loss.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Namaskar Ian, I would like to encourage you to continue with a pure vegetarian diet, without eggs, which are very high in cholesterol. I don't know what your weight was or how much you have lost. Are you below average weight now? If not, then I wouldn't be too concerned. Are you eating sufficient carbs? Also, there are good fats and bad fats for vegetarians. You can find more information here: www.stylecraze.com/articles/9-healthy-sources-of-fat-for-vegetarians/#gref
Also, it is important to maintain a proper training routine.
Good day to every one. Could you please answer my question? I'd like to know can i eat eggs on yogic diet?
Looking for the information about 21 days for the substitution of the cells in the body. It seems like a mith.
Dada, namaska! What about green tea? It has a little caffeine, will it still be considered as intoxication? Thank you
You talk a little about sugar. Is white sugar ok in moderation too?
And is eating shortly after cooking is better then eating after the food the next day. (Like in a meal prep)?
Thank you.
Noodles catagory? Thanks for the info though 👽🥁🛸
Thank you for the video. If I gradually change the way I live and what I eat over time there should be low chance of regressing into old ways. Luckily I have done this but didn't think to eliminate garlic for good. I go weeks without it and mostly use it as medicine for winter ills. If there was another food to use I would. Any ideas? xxxx
Yes, Asafoetida or Hing, is an excellent replacement for garlic. You can find in most Indian food stores.
14:30 onion and garlic
Thanks sir for the video. Very correct. The way you described was exceptional. Just wanted to know your experience about deep mediation. How can you explain the difference between the experience of meditation concentrating on some god (an image or so) with one that concentrates only on breathing (Vipassana)?
Namaskar Bhaskar, meditation is based on the principle of "As you think, so you become". So we should chose an object of concentration that will elevate our consciousness. If we only focus on our breathing, this will not elevate and purify our consciousness, but if we concentrate on Supreme Consciousness, which is the subtle most entity, this will certainly expand and elevate our minds.
🙏 thanks a lot sir but still there is one confusion. Actually, Buddhism philosophy says that the supreme consciousness is inside you and you can become enlightened only when you become unknown whereas the Sanatana Dharma philosophy like you mentioned above believes in concentrating on supreme consciousness to get enlightenment (the true peace, joy and bliss). To be more precise, when I started vipassana meditation, I felt differently than when I started concentrating on some Godly image. So, my confusion is which one to follow as in the vipassana, whole day I will be in trancelike state having mild pressure on ajana chakra but meditating on some Godly image, that pressure is only during the time of meditation. So sir, please guide me what I’ve to do or is there something which Im still missing??
Eggs and gelatin are also tamasik
Very nice video, as always!
What do you think about eggs? What kind of food is it, please?
You guys should have more cooking videos. That would be pretty good to see...
Thank you.
Namaskar /\
The eggs are definitely tamasik. They negatively affect health and disrupt the positive vibrations in the mind.
@@MeditationSteps

When you say carbonated drinks, does sparkling water also fit into this category?
yes
I wonder where I could find lists of all the different foods I would be allowed to eat. Changing my way of eating is going to be the hardest part for me but I am willing to try all this for 21 days. If only I had someone to help me with a diet for 21 days. Thank you
Namaskar, please see this webpage:

Mushrooms too??? They are so good for your immune system.
Sandra Kreger Wow I love them to!And no Onions,for Vegetables!
Only the body can heal the body, the immune system is part of the body and can heal itself when is not intoxicate, our body reacts to mushroom because sees as a threath so the immune system reacts to defend and our mind thinks is good but is not
Hello Dada... I have been following you for some months now and my family loves you very much, you are so peaceful. Your character and words encourage people to be healthy. On the other hand the majority of the society tend to push us on Tamasic foods only!
My daughter loves your music video particularly the Tandava Dance, the Song for Determination and especially the ending song. We would love you to make more similar music songs.
Namaskar!
I hope I can make time for that task, I would love to.
@@MeditationSteps Thank You Dada. Namaskar :)
Thank you Dada! How about cashews, peanuts, almonds and walnuts??? Is it ok to eat those??
Yes, they're all considered as Satvik. They're good for body, easily digested, and helps raise your Vibration.
@@sumittrox143 thank you so much :)
On their own, chewed slowly. They are a little hard to digest if not soaked. You only need a handful of them to gain the benefits.
Would fish and eggs be more acceptable compared with red meat? I am a fitness and nutrition coach and I feel as if getting enough protein from plants alone is difficult. Also thank you for your videos and wisdom.
If you eat a balanced and healthy vegetarian diet, you will get sufficient quantities of protein. Most people consume too much protein and the excess is expelled from the body together with calcium and not enough calcium leads to osteoporosis. To calculate how much protein you require, calculate your body weight in pounds, divide by two and that's how much protein you require in grams.
Go to www.nutritiondata.com to find out which foods contain protein.
Jared Ring you should watch the game changers on Netflix :)
Do you meditate using japa mala to chant your mantra?
Would be nice know from Dada
I don't. Sometimes, when I need to count the mantra to prepare myself for meditation, I use fingers. I prefer to withdraw from every physical object to suspend the activity of the organs, so I don't use mala, rather I do everything mentally.
onion and garlic are not recommended but what about ginger?
Ginger is fine. I have enjoyed many meals made by monks like Dada with ginger :)
hmmmm...This is a very difficult part to accept .....I take coffee, smoke cigarettes etc....It's not easy to quite them all....but...hmmmmm....In order to have a good meditation and its results ,I will have to change my life completely.......hmmmm.....
Namaskar. . .
This is my first comment in this channel.
Thank you very much for sharing your love and care to us.
My question for today is, what about green chillies ?
Namaskar, green chillies are sentient, so please enjoy!
@@MeditationSteps Namaskaram Babaji,
I am very glad you replied. Really. The reason behind my comment regarding green chillies was that in one video Sadhguru ( Jaggi Vasudev) says Green Chilles are negative pranic food. I am not sure. How come two of you are stating it differently ?
I also see that Brahmins, Jains, etc do not use green chillies.
I would be more happier, if you just research, I have downloaded pdf of Vaghbat rishis ayurveda book.
I am really enjoying your videos on Concentration Meditation. Everyday, I am motivated.
Thank you so much. 😊🙏

Here it is about Chilles.
Namaskaram,
I am still waiting for the reply Dadaji.
@@MeditationSteps red and green chillies are tamasic plz baba try to remove for some time you will see
Namaskar Dada, thank you for the informative videos and for your efforts. Are eggs tamasic too? and what about the old cooked food, after how many hours is it preferably that the food is consumed? and the food with too much spices?
Namaskar from Berlin...
The eggs are definitely tamasik. The old cooked food may or may not be tamasik, depending on how it was preserved, for sure it loses its vibrancy within 1-2 hours after it has been cooked. The proper food, when cooked with love and cosmic ideation, if taken makes you high for another three days. It is a very powerful means of success in life. Too much of spice in food is not good, if the taste of food is unbalanced it will unbalance the mind also.
@@MeditationSteps Namaskar, I thank you dada BNK
Is ok to drink green té 🍵?
In moderation it is ok, yes. I don't recommend that you take more than 1-2 cups per day.
Meditation Steps thanks
What about unfertilized eggs from humanely raised hens? Is this okay to eat?
Ethically it may be ok, but from the perspective of influence over the mind, they are not ok.
Indy D If I eat Eggs it comes as Infections out off my Eyes!Its Not helpful!
I juice fasted for 21 days. Afterwards, I drank a cup of coffee. It felt like an alien was invading my brain and attacking my consciousness.
I also drank toxic milk (Thailand, not like in India or Nepal where the milk is pure) - my body did not know what to do with the toxic milk and it kept being sent up to my throat and down to my intestines and back again.
Daniel O keeff. Wow I think some Lemon juice would be better,how did that happened??
@@rosisunny9302 Coffee narrows your consciousness in a very powerful way. So after so many weeks meditating and fasting the effects are more pronounced. Any time you get clean from these substances and reintroduce them, you really get and idea as to what they do.
Why is milk ok, but vegan stuff like onions and garlic are not? A cow/calf can suffer, an onion can not. I don’t understand.
