Have you guys heard about satvik bhojan, its purest form of vegetarianism which hindus have been following since ages .
Thanks
Thanks
Most mild vegetables are considered sattvic. Pungent vegetables like hot peppers, leek, garlic and onion are excluded,
well onions are not allowed in this form or vegetarianismthat's gonna be a hard no from me
gotta have my peppers and onions
Garlic is said to have many many medicinal properties in ayurveda but it still is tamsik foodI do not like hot/spicy stuff anyway. So that wouldn't be so hard for me. Not going to give up garlic tho.

I think you need to know more about it....It involves the enslavement of cows, goats and other animals, so I would not call it "pure" in any way shape or form, and since the cheeses from it would be made from animal rennet, it isn't even vegetarian let alone vegan. Sharing the milk with the calf is still exploitation. I also wonder what happens to all the male babies. Sorry to sound harsh, but what I have read in to on it seems to be totally based on dogmatic religious views and not science/evidence.
Then there is the belief in that system that certain hot or spicy foods have negative affects on (insert religious energy thing here). That in itself is mostly harmless, excepting that it is making people avoid foods that are very very healthy such as capsaicin-containing foods and garlic, all based on some old unsubstantiated document with a group of people who seem to not ever change their views when new evidence comes forward (aka dogma).
So yes, please do not brag about it being the purest form of vegetarianism/veganism. For the record, Jains are probably the ones with the most right to claim that their lifestyle/diet is the most "pure".
do you have any idea on difference between vegan and vegetarian ?I think the key to this discussion is in the opening post....

As this is a vegan forum there is little to no likelihood that anyone will agree with this type of lifestyle.

as per me both r same....am i right ?
That is oversimplified,
I think you should atleast do some research on garlic or onions.Do you exclude root vegetables so that you don't kill bugs and earthworms? I read about that some where.
Also I think if you are going to be vegetarian I agree that sharing milk with the calf is probably the purest way to do it.
I've been thinking lately on what really is the purest way to be a non vegan, since veganism is impossible in a primitive society.
Native Americans hated animal agriculture, they actually used terms like animal rights and hate caged animals, yet consumed flesh (even though to a much more moderate degree than modern people do, for example a lot of California tribes owe their existence primarily to acorns).
Or is it Eastern forms of vegetarianism.
P.S. I will not be stopping the consumption of garlic or onions.
