Why do hindus sometimes not eat onions/garlic alongside vegetarianism?!
In India and authentic Indian restaurants I love being fulled catered for as a vegetarian, though I am confused about why next to the 'pure veg, no animals' sign it says 'no onions or garlic'
what is the reason for this!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

I have some friends in Hare Krishna and they told me "onion and garlic are in the mode of passion, mushrooms are in the mode of ignorance!." My understanding is that it has to do with controlling the senses for religious discipline; like eating garlic or onion is an improper sense enjoyment that might lead the person towards other improper behavior!.

am a Hare Krishna Devotee for more than 30 yrs!. some folks will only eat foods they can offer to Lord Krishna - and what the nice man above said about foods being in modes is correct - foods in the modes of passion & ignorance usually are not offered to the Lord!. i my self bcuz of blood pressure issues eat onions & garlic as medicine!.
