Avadhuta Teaches To Eat Garlic
Namaskar,
Ac Vishuddhatmananda Avadhuta’s recent facebook posting is propagating that támasik food like garlic and mustard greens are good for one’s spiritual progress. Dádá V is not an ordinary individual who we can simply ignore. Being an Avadhuta he commands a special position in Ánanda Márga and his conduct has a direct influence over general márgiis.
Bábá says ---
Static food: “Food which is harmful for the mind and may or may not be good for the body is static. Onion, garlic, wine, stale and rotten food, meat of large animals such as cows and buffaloes, fish, eggs, etc., are static.” (1)
Further, Bábá says - "The milk of a newly-calved cow, white brinjals, khesárii dál, green vegetables of the type of red puni or mustard are támasika."
See Dada’s Tamasik food item:
The below image from Ac. Vishuddhatmananda’s Facebook page contains various food items which he recommends. Among those are:
A. The third column, last photo is Garlic in the below picture;
B. The first column, third photo is Mustard Green.
See below garlic and mustard greens which are támasik food. Vishuddhatmananda Avadhuta may be eating these two items. Otherwise why he is propagating them on his facebook page.

Wt Supports Garlic Eating
Dada V suggests that garlic is good for one’s “spiritual progress”. It is ironic that the above list includes garlic and mustard greens which are known to be támasik food in Ánanada Márga.
About static food Bábá says, “Food which is harmful for the mind and may or may not be good for the body is static. Onion, garlic, wine, stale and rotten food, meat of large animals such as cows and buffaloes, fish, eggs, etc., are static.” (1)
Further, Bábá says - "The milk of a newly-calved cow, white brinjals, khesárii dál, green vegetables of the type of red puni or mustard are támasika."
Thus, it is clear from above two teachings of Bábá that garlic and mustard greens fall under the category of static or támasik food which according to Bábá are harmful for the mind.
Dádá V however is propagating that garlic and mustard greens are wonder-foods which can help one in one’s spiritual progress. This is blatantly against Bábá’s teachings.
Dádá V should immediately remove this misleading picture from his facebook handle. Please go to his Facebook page and let him know you disapprove of messages which advocate taking garlic and mustard greens, as this is flagrantly against Baba’ teachings. Here below is Dada V’s facebook page link:
Namaskar,
Bhakti
