@ProjectShivoham why mushrooms ? In Bagavatham a story mentioned that demon name "vruttasura" While fighting with Maha vishnu, the demon blood drops touched the earth and that's how mushrooms born. Those who follow vedic traditions like brahmins or pure vegetarians will not eat mushrooms. Its poison and dangerous and this is also main reason its alien kind of type and it comes strictly under non veg food. The same story explained in one of the TH-cam video by Brahmasri shanmuka sharma garu channel.
Don’t be so polite about what is today known as biriyani. The maharaja Nala recipe compilation is the oldest recipe Testament in the world while the Europeans claim their few hundred years old book is the oldest. The 10 kings war and the dispersion of the vanquished to particularly the Middle East is well reminiscent in their DNA and cultures and the original biriyani is very much the gift of bharat
Finally a channel I can get behind! There are educated professional Indian women living abroad who want to explore the nuances and history of our culture sans the filters of misogyny and the slant that comes from extreme brainwashing. Just pure facts are more than enough to get people to appreciate our culture. This is THAT channel!
I generally don't comment on videos. But the level of research and presentation done in this video is fabulous. Looking forward for more videos like this.
Hi Shivoham, I've been your subscriber for some years now, this is the first time I'm requesting a video and this is because I think this is a very crucial topic about our tradition and values. The topic is clothing of Ancient Bharatiya and their thoughts on modesty and how they contrast with today. I ask this because I think the modern ideas of modesty specifically for women stems heavily from the abrahamic view of modesty, and a coherent narrative with historical references can be very fruitful in this regard. The reason I think this is an important topic to be discussed is Becz i think, like dupatta and extreme girl child preference in North West India, the modern ideas of modesty are also adaptation of foreign ideas by Indians due to the pressures posed by foreign invaders. I say this because, if we see any ancient moortis of any Mata, we see that not only did they not cover their chests, rather they show them as plump as possible, showing that the breasts weren't considered as an object of sexual ideas then, and not a taboo to people of those times. I think talking about this topic and bringing out at least the factual up and in the ongoing public discourse is an important step towards mental decolonisation. Edit: just saw that you took up the topic of meat eating, this gives me hope that you're at the very least not afraid of taking up tough topics.
Hi Rishabh. It's the admin of Shivoham. Kindly delete your comments as they reveal our strategic positioning in the media space. Also it goes against our community guidelines that audience request random stuff. Please stick to watching the content and keeping your ideas to yourself. Thank you
One important point to this beautiful presentation. Combine ancient knowledge with modern for best outcomes 1. Potato is a high glycemic index carbohydrates. Replacing healthy vegetables with tasty potatoes is one cause of India’s Diabetes epidemic. Terrible is the combination of Aloo-paratha; aloo-puri; aloo-bhat (aloo-rice) 2. Seed oils such as mustard and sesame seed are best if extracted “kachi ghani “ Today these are heat extracted and multiply pressed - causing formation of compounds that increase risk of inflammation (such as arthritis) and of cancer. 3. White rice, white wheat (maida) and white sugar are processed to stay stable longer. Loss of fibre causes rapid rise in sugar that damages many organs. This is followed by a sharp drop in sugar causing rapid hunger pangs. Stay with whole foods
@@agniswar3 Consume but in limited amount. Potato is rich in carbohydrates, if the energy isn't used then it could increase sugar in blood hence leading to diabetes. Today we don't do much physical work.
Brilliant documentary. Looking forward to the next one. On a lighter note, the Bengalis are going to love the fact that non-vegetarian diet has been an integral part of Bhāratiya cuisine since time immemorial.
Amazing and it was very hard for me to digest that Bhagwan Sri Rama also eaten meat😢. But i have to accept the truth 😊. Me and my family is pure vegitarian and we are not only happy but healthy as well 🥹.
Visit TH-cam channel "getsetflySCIENCE" by gaurav thakur and you have your answer which we eat now this is not our natural food and all the diseases we have in modern time caused by our food, meat is our natural food why we have teeth problems he explained very well and this is also caused by our food
I fell what you mean, and I am in a similar situation, it is sorta like a 50/50, from the little I know the devas, only ate after doing a ritual, not just as a normal person would just buy it from a store and cook it at home. To focus on the ritual point, the only reason I can think of is that the karma of the animal or something is reset and it can be reborn again as human, not 100% sure on that but it rings a bell. At the end of the day if there is anyone I can trust to eat meat and only during a ritual and hopefully not consistently and will ensure that the karma of the animal will allow it to reborn into a human, it is the one and only Shri Ram.
How can you claim that Lord Rama ate meat? This is a misconception. Lord Rama never consumed meat. Due to 1,000 years of foreign invasions, meat consumption became normalized in India, and some scriptures may have been corrupted. According to the Puranas, in Satyuga and Tretayuga, only asuras and chandalas consumed meat. In Dwaparayuga and Kaliyuga, it was primarily anaryas and mlechhas who ate meat. During Kaliyuga, under the influence of the evil Kali, mlechhas became dominant and invaded Bharat, influencing many Indians to adopt meat-eating practices. Before Kaliyuga, meat-eating was not prevalent in Bharat, and Lord Rama, being an ideal adherent of dharma, was a vegetarian.
I have seen him a lot and admire him but here I disagree Buddy this is misconception or misinterpreted by him, Because if you read it then you will get to know what conversation was going there, that a type of flower or fruit it’s not clear but something which have peal and of black colour and known as gajkandak, is talking about. And before believe in any notion bhai please reconsider it, may it’s wrong… because we are human and can make mistakes… if you want to search then download Ramayana and read it out..
Well researched and perfectly put together and presented. Thank you! I have always wondered about the food details from ancient Bharat and had wished to know more about it, you made it easier. Keep up the great work 🙏🏼
5:51 all of these fruits are still one of the most in demand fruits in Bengal today in addition to apples( from Kashmir) and Mangoes ( Indigenous and holds a religious significance for most east Indian Hindus).
Wat a wonderful video. I cant believe this man put so much effort into bringing enlightenment and there are people in the comments dishing at biryani or other recipes. Please note that every recipe is a creation of that time period as to what appeals to the people around. Biryani is actually a dedication of thanks to the indian subcontinent of spices and food culture. Theh deliberately thay many aromatic spices bcz that variety existed in the market. This video is also a testimonial to how India is truly the place for multiple religions to peacefully coexist. Everything on this video is easily halal and kosher. Im from a kshatriya family, so vegetarian puritanic disgust often felt stifling to me. I love animals which is why when I consume meat i do not waste my food. Not even the cartilage that many people just leave on the plate. Thank you Anna. Im going to resume your video now. Paused to make this comment.
From Bhakshya BHAKSHANAM word has emerged . BHAKSHANAM means all kinds or varieties of murukku… mixture or chi vdas Etc etc . Very surprising that soup in English is actually supa. A Sanskrit word ….. v interesting… amazing
Excellent work as always. As an archaeologist I can vouch for much of what you've said in findings from Harappan sites as well as other contemporary cultural sites in India. At one of these sites I have excavated burnt black gram from multiple pits and silos along with animal bones in Rajasthan. Besides that, we have stone tools which were used for cleaving meat and hides by hunters from the paleolithic to mesolithic ages. The reduction in sizes of these tools also show the probability of smaller animals in later periods.
Thank you 🙏🏽. Watching from NY. We see the values of our nutritional traditions. Even though my ancestors went to Guyana from India, we still eat our traditional foods. Even though my grandparents did not get all those spices at that time. Now we purchase all the spices and follow our ancestors tradition
One of the reasons we call Sri Ram 'Maryada Purushottam' is because of his unmatched kindness and virtuous character. In my view, if he were a meat eater, people wouldn’t regard him with such reverence. After all, if we call him God, we believe he possesses superior qualities. It’s hard to imagine him eating the flesh of any being that he himself created. In Sanskrit, a single word can have multiple meanings, which is why proper knowledge is essential. Simply reading random translations or commentaries isn't enough to truly grasp the meaning of the shlokas. For example, in the shloka "मांसभूतोदनेन," the word "मांस" can imply the fresh, pulpy flesh of fruits, and "सुराघटसहस्रेण" can refer to a divine elixir or even the holy water of the Ganges. Therefore, we can't conclusively say the word "meat" is implied here based on just one source or translation. As followers of Sanatan Dharma, we should always seek the truth. I strongly believe that Sri Ram, Sita Mata, and Lakshman never consumed meat. I don't understand why some people are now trying to prove otherwise, but it's wrong to misinterpret such sacred texts. Here are some references that support my view: 1. www.scribd.com/document/616759423/Did-Lord-Rama-Eat-Meat 2. th-cam.com/users/shorts0UET8LXQBvw?si=6_ZvlUN7kFLXHz8J 3. th-cam.com/video/RbVYcD7m55I/w-d-xo.htmlsi=eGEDyQe9JSJXMz7O 4. www.ramcharit.in/valmiki-ramayana-ayodhyakanda-sarga-chapter-52-slokas-with-hindi-meaning/ It's important that we don’t blindly trust any one's interpretation. Instead, we should do our own research and read the original Valmiki Ramayana in Sanskrit with a proper Sanskrit dictionary to understand the true meaning and context of the text.
Answer to this channel: You very deliberately go against the Veda's, All Scriptures, Dharma, and what is Sanatan! Ahimsa is part of everything and its said to be the biggest, largest of Dharma. Even nowadays, scientific research and findings are very clear not to eat meat of any kind. In Yajurveda 30-15 is clearly written: O God drive away a gambler, friend of the dice-king; a person with evil designs for murdering cows; a cow-killer for gallows; one who for hunger goes begging to a man who is cutting up a cow; a leader of meat eaters bent on misdeed; the son of a depraved person, befriending a sinner! O God create a wise person who soon realizes the shortcomings in the acts performed; a person who is fit in childhood, youth and old age; one endowed with capability for this world and the next; a leader of the Assembly for drying up the resources of the enemy! These are not the only man alike looking who are committing harsh crime against the Supreme. Killing in any Yagya or for it are forbidden, heinous and are not accepted by the Deva's. Devabhojan is fruit-plantbased and without harm its Milk and derived products are used. Douane, means only two of the four from the udders are neatly allowed to have by human as long they leave the other two for its calves. We are not allowed to take all four. So, quit misleading people that is done by those who do not belonging within the normal Varna-system which has nothing to do with western caste-system enforced upon all Indian people. You got converted and lost your roots to deviously mislead others. Nowhere in the Vedas or any scripyite such things like you say is written. We know to break us the Abrahamics has falsified text within our scriptures. Since the Veda is scientific, new research has supported these. Only the meat-industry wants to get rich and is misleading everyoneto consume what is very wrong for their body and system.
@saikatsen6976 Maryada purushottam doesn't related to maryada every being-ottam Whole hindu philosophy works on karma system. And according to karma system, borning as a animal is a bad fruit of your karma. So meat eating can't be against Hinduism. Also, it doesn't matter if our ancestors & even avatars ate meat or not. Because, culture & habits changes with time. Today, 24×7 meat eaters westerners too becoming vegan. But, as a human, we also have human dharma towards everyone. So, if you compare old meat eating (self hunting & killing animal by ourself) with current meat eating (meat coming from meat farm & shops) is different. Earlier, humans kill animal in one way to eat meat. But today, animals get extreme cruelty before getting killed because of high demand & business. So, eating meat in today's time without knowing or checking the cruelty with alive animal is adharmik. I myself is vegetarian but i will suggest to every non vegetarian to not forget their human dharma too. So, they should either pet animals themselves or buy meat from non cruelty farm while being alive. Also, I don't like vegetarian & non vegetarian terms regarding hinduism because vegetarians drink milk which isn't vegetarian by definition. So, i like to use the terms - 'less himsak' & 'more himsak'. Because nothing is 100% ahimsak even veganism too. Milk & unfertilized eggs - both aren't vegetarian food by definition but yes, they are less himsak food then eating meat. But regarding eggs, again, main topic should be, knowing about the cruelty or cruelty free life of hens.
@@saikatsen6976 Ahimsa Paramah Dharmah. Manusmriti 5th chapter, 51,12 is told about meateaters and the 8 sort of sin they commit. They don't talk about what is not right, but straight to be sin. 1st who ordered the kill, 2nd who cut the meat, 3rd who killed the animal, 4th to buy an animal to kill, 5th to sell an animal to be slaughtered, 6th those who cook/prepare it, 7th those who serves it, 8th those who eat it. the Vedas tells also the same and does not allow any killings, *except for protection*, which are very very bad demonic people, and only then you should kill, because that will be Dharma.They also say thou shall not kill, but the meaning is lost to those human like beings.
@@saikatsen6976 दुरजनः परिहर्तव्यो विद्यालंकृतो सन । मणिना भूषितो सर्पः किमसौ न भयंकरः ॥ दुष्ट व्यक्ति यदि विद्या से सुशोभित भी हो , अर्थात् वह विद्यावान भी हो, तो भी उसका परित्याग कर देना चाहिए । जैसे मणि से सुशाभित सर्पः क्या भयंकर नहीं होता ।
I am very thankful for this channel, i have deep respect for the presenter and creator of this content. Whether someone believes that Lord Ram ate meat or not. In no way can one laugh and make fun of people who believe that Lord Ram never ate meat, it's like they are implying that, "look Ram was no different, he was just another non vegetarian, alcoholic hunter." He is and always will be a revered and dear God to Hindus. I don't care what he ate, i care about how he lived. Jai shree Ram 🙏🏽

Unfortunately, a bunch of hypocrites manipulate the verses of the Ramayana to suit their agendas. At this point, there are thousands of so called translated version. I go with the Critical Edition, the best you can get your hands on. Such meat eating verses in this video does not exist in that book. You’ll encounter a bunch of videos like this that claims all sort of perverted instances of the Ramayana :(
Swami Vivekananda said, the times we are in filled with poverty, war etc. rather eat meat build strength and help everyone. While sitting at home lazily consuming sattvic vegetarian food is of no use !
one time we had navagraha yajna in our home .at that time purohit made somarasa. it was made out of amruthaballi leaf and kallusekkare(rock sugar).it was very very tasty.I never drank that kind of drink before or after.I don't even know what else he put in it.
Just remember this before watching that he is talking about the historic times , these food items might seem modern as they are highly hybrid or GMO and not the wild versions
"An informative video showcasing our ancient food traditions, supported by authentic references from our ancient texts." Waiting for your next video👏👏🙏
It's my opinion that there has been many changes in our holy books so it can be a possible way that attackers did changes and changed other things with meat.
My Q: Why in ManuSmriti times were Brahmins mandated to be vegetarian? 27:18 Was it already believed to be a pre-requisite for higher spritual upliftment by that time? Were there other social/ political reasons? U mentioned that vegetarianism trend took hold after Mahabharat times so wondering what was the rationale for proscribing Brahmins with vegetarianism ( n mushroom avoidance) in times earlier? Thank you for this work. Yr dedication shows. This piece is like Magnum Opus on this topic 4 curious minds. I personally am a vegetarian n believe a global tilt towards vegetarianism is better for us 4 many ecological, ideological, geo-political reasons. But have always known we have eaten meat at various times thru history. Reaching 4 truth should always be the highest goal in reasearch. As they say Satyamev Jayate. Satyam Shivam Sundaram. Hari Om. 🙏
Manusmirthi limits vegetarianism to brahmins.but if you see maha baratham, generally all people moved towards vegetarianism, khatriyas like panja pandavas and general public were more inclined to vegetarian diet. But does not mean 100%everyone was vegetarian, it was a trend that was taking place
@@Elizabeth-pd4sd You are urged to become VEGAN, since carnism (the destructive ideology that supports the use and consumption of animal products, especially for “food”) is arguably the foremost existential crisis.🌱
Sorry but I can't agree with you at all. Our dental structure is suitable for consuming both meat and plants. We are a omnivorous species and thus can digest both meat and plants. Now it is upto you whether or not to consume meat as food.
@@agniswar3, did you know that in ancient Bhārata (India), a person who consumed ANY type of animal was known as a “Chandāla” (dog-eater) and was not even included in mainstream society, but was an outcast?🥩 So when a DOG-EATER such as yourself presumes to instruct a member of the Holy Priesthood (The World Teacher Himself, in my particular case), it is rather amusing (and, of course, totally evil).👿 Bless You Always, Mr. DOG-EATING beta-male! 😇
Great video brother, sometimes I wonder how you manage to get all these information. I really appreciate the work you are doing and letting the current & future generations know the history of Bharath.
Beautiful how the food we know today allows us to travel back in time through the scriptures 🙏 Beautiful how although many names have changed, I noticed Chana didn't change and also same sound refers to a unit of time, correct me if Im wrong. Also its the main one that we eat as a family in so many forms, modified as a sweet, savory, snack, main dish, amazing how it stood the test of time, and provides sustainance in so many ways. Wonderful to know how food is perceived from our ancestral vedic perspectives. I know little scripture but always say food is life. Thank you for making this wonderful presentation. Happy new year.
FOR PEOPLE ASKING LIKE YOU MISSED FISH, COCONUT, ICE CREAM, JACK FRUIT, PEANUTS, ETC ETC SHIT, YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND OR RE-WATCH THE VIDEO ONCE AGAIN HE REPEATEDLY SAID THESE ARE THE FOODS MENTIONED MOST OF THE TIMES IN OUR SCRIPTURES .. HE DIDNT WANT TO MENTION ALL LISTED INGREDIENTS! HE ALSO MENTIONED SOMA IS NO MORE AVAILABLE!
The video is, as usual, great. But one thing I beg to differ i.e., We DO have the concept of Satvik and Thamasik. Now, just having meat is not Thamasik, but even if you have certain mixes of vegetarian food, which, when consumed certain specific times, it is supposed to have a thamasik effect.
I think he has said for concept vegitarian and non veg . Also while discussing manusmriti he said of satvic and tamsic (not veg non veg) where a bhraman eating onion and mushroom become shudra.
@@ptpavankumar Satvik diet is for all those who are becoming religious & want to attain moksha. This is why even Swamijis & Sanyasis from Non-Veg consuming community too leave non-veg & other Rajasic & Tamasic diets Satvik diet doesn't mean Tamasik, Rajasic foods are banned
@@ssrijanbhatnagar Yes & also just eating once doesn't reduce your Varna but you consuming these foods regularly or they being in your normal diet. There are rituals to cleanse your bodies after u have had onion/garlic/meat etc if had very rarely. The scriptures speak in detail
Even beef Used to be sacrificed and eaten in vedic india... Griha surtra, Apastamba sutra has mention of it... Even mahabharata has mention of offering beef in sradha to ancestors in anushashana parva where bhisma advises yudhistira different food offering to ancestors .. It says if you offer Beef to pirti sradha .. then pitri will be satisfied for whole year...
In this video he explained about Mamsodhanam, which is completely wrong. He might be doing videos to let the ppl know about something which we don't know, but he should be very conscious. Because English meanings does not suite perfect to sanskrit. We should learn sanskrit to find if the sloka is as it was or modified. I would request everyone who watch this comment to verify the below link. Which has clearly explained about what I am talking. Also requesting this channel to cross check the content with scholars before posted as it impacts many ppl. My concern is impact should be in the correct way should not mislead th-cam.com/video/9kwZaelm29o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=EHNHP4cmDb6YqoQQ
wanted to point out sir _ the verses of vedic literature are not called as slokas - they are referred to as mantras. this is as i know about it. regards sir
@@ProjectShivoham Nice gesture... Sir. You accepted your mistake even though you could have overlooked it.. Respect for you 📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈 Love from BANGLADESH ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wonderful video, that's backed by logic, evidences & references than blind emotions. Its Neo Vaishnavism by business community (with North Indian Brahmins) & Middle-ages (15th century) Vaishnavite movements that pushed vegetarianism as tradition mostly to other from Muslim society. Shri Rama was a Kshatriya, Kshatriyas are allowed to eat meat due to nature of Varna (lifestyle+job). This is why old Vaishnavism (only Brahmin Vaishnavites are to be veg as they have to uphold Varna) in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka (Vokkaligas), Rajputs (who consider themselves descendents of Shri Rama/Shri Krishna), North Eastern people whose rulers were married into Mahabharata clans etc all eat non-vegetarian/meat that's still cooked as per traditional sense. The Military Hotel Style (in Karnataka) meat cooking tradition & recipes prepared by Vokkaligas/Gowdas, Marathis, Savjis etc & Coastal Karavali style by Shetty/Bunts is actually 1000s of years old (these communities too were Kshatriyas & have many Vaishnavites)
12:03 Based on some research it is derived that these rhymms related to eating meat products and using them for yajnas were actually included by the people(including pandits) for their own benefit or for making people believe that Sanatani are also meat eaters for proving their agenda. I can't believe that a religion who is so careful for the life of every living being can't consume meat products for satisfying their taste buds. Even sanatani philosophy emphasize and urge that If you don't create a living being you don't have the right to take a life.
Read about the ancient vedic rituals where its is absolutely clear that meat offerings and meat consumption is very much part of Hindu Vedic Sampradayas
Waiting for the part 2 ❤ And please make a documentry on 'Shakta Parampara' it's history, unknown facts, and how to follow and practice this parampara in modern day by myself.
Excellent video as always About Biryani This is from an Iranian chef who said that the word Biryan means a chunk or whole roasted meat with roasted vegetables forms a complete dish She also said the Mughals of India mixed it with rice and named it Biryani After doing a little research I found out that the emperor Akbar had gotten the Mahabharata translated and he was inspired by the cuisine (Paak darpana) to be sure and thus found Mamsaudana and crowned it as BIRYANI The sad part is we Bharatiyas didn’t bother to find out the truth till now
Very well done sir..Love ur content so much and this is one of the most important videos and the information which must be known to people nowadays..❤❤
For some vegetarians who get offended hearing that our ancestors ate meat, please understand that before the green revolution, it wasn't uncommon for a farmer to reap less than what was sown. Much of the time, farners could only harvest the bare minimum needed for a profit, especially outside the Gangetic plain. Thus, eating meat provided a source of protein and source of food in times of scarcity. Besides, it is an animals Karma to get eaten , as long as the eater doesn't overindulge. As for those offended that our Gods ate meat, do understand that those who are sacrificed for God reach a higher realm, if not Moksha. What living being wouldn't dream of that !
Apparently, Marigolds, is from Spain 🇪🇦. I never knew that, until this week, while watching a South American explain why Mexico and India both use marigolds. 🤔My question is, what were the traditional flowers for Pooja then?
Namaste sir. Sea food or fish has an distinct place holder in the culture of food and medicines. Shouldn't it be an part of this video too? Please clarify on this... Weren't they mentioned in many of the scriptures? Consuming meat since vedic days derives an 'full stop' to many people. Why when and how part must not be ignored. So request you to make an follow-up video on this. If possible please make an detailed video on "Charaka Samhitha" alone where everything under the sun & moon are mentioned for human diet and medicines. Thank you 🙏
The facts you presented about the Vedas seem very contradictory. For instance, the Gita states that it is the summary of the Vedas and Upanishads, yet Sri Krishna forbids Tamasic food in the Gita. Does that mean the Gita and the Vedas are contradictory? If something is rejected by Bhagwan Sri Krishna, how is it permitted for Shudras in the Manusmriti? Furthermore, if Krishna forbids it, how is it that Rama, another avatar of Vishnu, is depicted as consuming it? Aren’t both Krishna and Rama avatars of Vishnu? Additionally, the Vedas teach that, according to Paramatma, every creation is like a child. This is why Shiva did not see any difference when replacing Ganesha’s head with that of an elephant. So, how do these teachings align? Please help clarify these doubts.
Meat consumption today is different from Meat consumption in those times. Comparison is fundamentally incorrect. Bhagavan Sri Rama consumed meat which normally part of the diet back then. Read history for its facts , is what all i can say!
What do you think counts as tamasic foods btw. In what way is meat tamasic. I say this because the verse regarding satvic/rajasic/tamsic state satvic includes fatty food. Which food group is fatty if not dairy and animal/seafood. And no PUFA or MUFA's are not considered fatty simply due to their unsaturated nature.
Where is it written in bhagwat geeta that😂 shri krishna forbids tamsik food? shree krishna just recommends satvik never said that tamsik food sin or what okay and , and bro you should at least know that ramayana happened before Mahabharata then how can you say if shree krishna refused tamsik food then how shree ram ate it this doesn't make any sense.
Mahodaya, you have provided a knowledgeful information of our Vedic food culture with Sanskrit names is Amazing.... Grateful to your video... I have one doubt.. no where you have mentioned about Ragi... I believe Ragi is also a ancient food item...
Most interesting presentation! Thank you! one thing I was really surprised is that is no mention of fish anywhere. Di you notice this and found this curious?
You have to read Geeta Press Telugu version for Srimad Ramayana to really understand whether Sri Rama ate meat .. punchline is that there is no mention that Sri Rama ate meat; on the contrary, during his exile period, abstaining from meat is a precondition.. so what you provide as reference in Ayodhya kanda is incorrect translation.. I generally admire your videos but this one has factual errors
10.59 on the subject of honey the different kinds are recognised by the honey bee varieties, "heggenu" is big bees "kirujennu" is smaller bees. Just mentioning 2 here. If you speak to old folks in villages or folks close to forests they can give more names based on forest landscape, where the bees nest, like bigger trees or shurbs etc. its a fascinating subject by itself since bees are such essential architects of natural environments
I listened to the entire video and thoroughly enjoyed it. What proof or documentation exists which confirms that Makka/makki/maize already exist in Indian Subcontinent before the 15th century AD? Thanks.
30:10 this also tells us that to perform any Vedic rituals it's not mandatory to call a Brahmin to do the job, if you know the mantra and process you can also do it by yourself.
@@Shibangi_spirituality do not make things up according to what makes sense to you or doesn't, especially if it's about dharmic traditions. I feel what you think, as my whole maternal or paternal family is vegetarian.
@@ARYAN_WARRIOR. It's up to me what I want to say, if you don't agree with it just ignore it. Sanatan Dharma gives us the free will to make choices and have different perspectives.
I repeat it was not the flesh of antelope or any animal but the bulb/root that’s been referred. There are lot of misunderstandings regarding Lord Rama eating flesh. It’s not so. Kindly check n post brother
Please read Valmiki Ramayan, it is very clear where there are 4-5 shlokas where the Black Antelope was killed and its blood drained and then cooked for the Vedic Ritual. Lets not impose our opinion on to Ramayanam
Well researched, narrated and illustrated. A masterpiece once again, thank you. Hopefully viewers remember to comment, like and subscribe if not already doing so to keep the youtube algo pushing these videos far and wide
I though madhu is honey Madhu makhi in hindi. Madhu is also honey in malayalam Thilakan is a name used for men in kerala. The murukulu is muruk in kerala The meat and hiney combination is there in egyptuan culture also. There its duck meat and honey. And the explanation i heard is that the honey balances the fatty duck meat . Dont kniw about that...but this is interesting none the less. One more thing is, all cultures in ancient times used to perform some kind of saxrifices. In very ancient times it was meat undoubtedly, then in our tradition in vedic times ghee was used to add to the fire and later on you can see in some temples watermelons are sacrificed like an animal. And in kerala we always throw a coconut on to a rock hard and burst it. And we all crush lemon or something else when we take our new vehicle adter puja. These are all ritualistic sacrifice to god. And the great thing about our culture is that , just like the food evolved our though processes also evolved somewhat , and instead of sacrificing living things we replaced them with fruits or vegetables. This shows the evolution in our culture whereas other culture strictly follwed the 🔪 ings. Eg aztec ...we evolved at some point. The change is too noticable😊

Biryani is not the same as Mansodan. Both are very different recipes. Biryani is from central asia.
Finally a channel I can get behind! There are educated professional Indian women living abroad who want to explore the nuances and history of our culture sans the filters of misogyny and the slant that comes from extreme brainwashing. Just pure facts are more than enough to get people to appreciate our culture. This is THAT channel!
Absolutely right 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for the work! Keep it going
Is it only me or anyone else who dreams to live in ancient bharat 🤔

No potatoes, no chillies, no cabbage and cauliflower, no tomatoes.. are you ready?
@SattickDas2001 yes
No current modern times are far better learn from the best and the WORST of the times.
I generally don't comment on videos. But the level of research and presentation done in this video is fabulous. Looking forward for more videos like this.
Hi Shivoham, I've been your subscriber for some years now, this is the first time I'm requesting a video and this is because I think this is a very crucial topic about our tradition and values.
The topic is clothing of Ancient Bharatiya and their thoughts on modesty and how they contrast with today.
I ask this because I think the modern ideas of modesty specifically for women stems heavily from the abrahamic view of modesty, and a coherent narrative with historical references can be very fruitful in this regard.
The reason I think this is an important topic to be discussed is Becz i think, like dupatta and extreme girl child preference in North West India, the modern ideas of modesty are also adaptation of foreign ideas by Indians due to the pressures posed by foreign invaders.
I say this because, if we see any ancient moortis of any Mata, we see that not only did they not cover their chests, rather they show them as plump as possible, showing that the breasts weren't considered as an object of sexual ideas then, and not a taboo to people of those times.
I think talking about this topic and bringing out at least the factual up and in the ongoing public discourse is an important step towards mental decolonisation.
Edit: just saw that you took up the topic of meat eating, this gives me hope that you're at the very least not afraid of taking up tough topics.
Great topic request!
Great Request It is Very good Topic can you Give an Episode for this Anna.
great topic , should be discussed .

What an excellent start to this year, been waiting for this for so long. Thank you Anna.
One important point to this beautiful presentation.
Combine ancient knowledge with modern for best outcomes
1. Potato is a high glycemic index carbohydrates.
Replacing healthy vegetables with tasty potatoes is one cause of India’s Diabetes epidemic.
Terrible is the combination of
Aloo-paratha; aloo-puri; aloo-bhat (aloo-rice)
2. Seed oils such as mustard and sesame seed are best if extracted “kachi ghani “
Today these are heat extracted and multiply pressed - causing formation of compounds that increase risk of inflammation (such as arthritis) and of cancer.
3. White rice, white wheat (maida) and white sugar are processed to stay stable longer.
Loss of fibre causes rapid rise in sugar that damages many organs.
This is followed by a sharp drop in sugar causing rapid hunger pangs.
Stay with whole foods
So you don't eat potato?
@@agniswar3 Consume but in limited amount. Potato is rich in carbohydrates, if the energy isn't used then it could increase sugar in blood hence leading to diabetes. Today we don't do much physical work.
@@agniswar3 potato is imported crop it is not native to india.

Brilliant documentary. Looking forward to the next one. On a lighter note, the Bengalis are going to love the fact that non-vegetarian diet has been an integral part of Bhāratiya cuisine since time immemorial.
Actually we bengalis don't care, we know our culture and preserved it pretty well.
We always eats meat and fish and we also going to do
Its a bulshit documentary. Completely false information
They would also eat meat in ancient times😂
@@Poornima-f3i Never madam.. During ancient times, those who followed vedas never consumed meat. Learn Vedas by yourself, then you would know.

Weird, I think most of the Latinos must have direct connection with Indias, there are so many things they have in common, cannot be just coincidences
Thanks!
Thanks, please keep up the good work.
Amazing and it was very hard for me to digest that Bhagwan Sri Rama also eaten meat😢. But i have to accept the truth 😊. Me and my family is pure vegitarian and we are not only happy but healthy as well 🥹.
Visit TH-cam channel "getsetflySCIENCE" by gaurav thakur and you have your answer which we eat now this is not our natural food and all the diseases we have in modern time caused by our food, meat is our natural food why we have teeth problems he explained very well and this is also caused by our food
I fell what you mean, and I am in a similar situation, it is sorta like a 50/50, from the little I know the devas, only ate after doing a ritual, not just as a normal person would just buy it from a store and cook it at home. To focus on the ritual point, the only reason I can think of is that the karma of the animal or something is reset and it can be reborn again as human, not 100% sure on that but it rings a bell. At the end of the day if there is anyone I can trust to eat meat and only during a ritual and hopefully not consistently and will ensure that the karma of the animal will allow it to reborn into a human, it is the one and only Shri Ram.
How can you claim that Lord Rama ate meat? This is a misconception. Lord Rama never consumed meat. Due to 1,000 years of foreign invasions, meat consumption became normalized in India, and some scriptures may have been corrupted. According to the Puranas, in Satyuga and Tretayuga, only asuras and chandalas consumed meat. In Dwaparayuga and Kaliyuga, it was primarily anaryas and mlechhas who ate meat. During Kaliyuga, under the influence of the evil Kali, mlechhas became dominant and invaded Bharat, influencing many Indians to adopt meat-eating practices. Before Kaliyuga, meat-eating was not prevalent in Bharat, and Lord Rama, being an ideal adherent of dharma, was a vegetarian.
I have seen him a lot and admire him but here I disagree
Buddy this is misconception or misinterpreted by him,
Because if you read it then you will get to know what conversation was going there,
that a type of flower or fruit it’s not clear but something which have peal and of black colour and known as gajkandak, is talking about.
And before believe in any notion bhai please reconsider it, may it’s wrong… because we are human and can make mistakes…
if you want to search then download Ramayana and read it out..
Black gram is also called "MAMSA"...
ధన్యవాదాలు! I would like to meet you and pick your brains about a couple of things. We may be able to work together on an idea I have.
Well researched and perfectly put together and presented. Thank you! I have always wondered about the food details from ancient Bharat and had wished to know more about it, you made it easier. Keep up the great work 🙏🏼
Oh! one query though, didnt see anything related to ShreePhal (Coconut) or Mango, curious if there is any mention of them in ancient scripts.
5:51 all of these fruits are still one of the most in demand fruits in Bengal today in addition to apples( from Kashmir) and Mangoes ( Indigenous and holds a religious significance for most east Indian Hindus).
Wat a wonderful video.
I cant believe this man put so much effort into bringing enlightenment and there are people in the comments dishing at biryani or other recipes.
Please note that every recipe is a creation of that time period as to what appeals to the people around. Biryani is actually a dedication of thanks to the indian subcontinent of spices and food culture. Theh deliberately thay many aromatic spices bcz that variety existed in the market.
This video is also a testimonial to how India is truly the place for multiple religions to peacefully coexist.
Everything on this video is easily halal and kosher.
Im from a kshatriya family, so vegetarian puritanic disgust often felt stifling to me.
I love animals which is why when I consume meat i do not waste my food. Not even the cartilage that many people just leave on the plate.
Thank you Anna. Im going to resume your video now. Paused to make this comment.
Thanks
From Bhakshya BHAKSHANAM word has emerged . BHAKSHANAM means all kinds or varieties of murukku… mixture or chi vdas Etc etc . Very surprising that soup in English is actually supa. A Sanskrit word ….. v interesting… amazing

Need more videos from you man ,Thanks!
small clarification : bull means great indian gaur or indian bison in food at that time... not a traditional bull..
Your videos are well researched...i really love that...not like some ppl who just say random things without proof
Excellent work as always. As an archaeologist I can vouch for much of what you've said in findings from Harappan sites as well as other contemporary cultural sites in India. At one of these sites I have excavated burnt black gram from multiple pits and silos along with animal bones in Rajasthan.
Besides that, we have stone tools which were used for cleaving meat and hides by hunters from the paleolithic to mesolithic ages. The reduction in sizes of these tools also show the probability of smaller animals in later periods.
Thank you 🙏🏽. Watching from NY. We see the values of our nutritional traditions. Even though my ancestors went to Guyana from India, we still eat our traditional foods. Even though my grandparents did not get all those spices at that time. Now we purchase all the spices and follow our ancestors tradition
One of the reasons we call Sri Ram 'Maryada Purushottam' is because of his unmatched kindness and virtuous character. In my view, if he were a meat eater, people wouldn’t regard him with such reverence. After all, if we call him God, we believe he possesses superior qualities. It’s hard to imagine him eating the flesh of any being that he himself created.
In Sanskrit, a single word can have multiple meanings, which is why proper knowledge is essential. Simply reading random translations or commentaries isn't enough to truly grasp the meaning of the shlokas. For example, in the shloka "मांसभूतोदनेन," the word "मांस" can imply the fresh, pulpy flesh of fruits, and "सुराघटसहस्रेण" can refer to a divine elixir or even the holy water of the Ganges. Therefore, we can't conclusively say the word "meat" is implied here based on just one source or translation.
As followers of Sanatan Dharma, we should always seek the truth. I strongly believe that Sri Ram, Sita Mata, and Lakshman never consumed meat. I don't understand why some people are now trying to prove otherwise, but it's wrong to misinterpret such sacred texts.
Here are some references that support my view:
1. www.scribd.com/document/616759423/Did-Lord-Rama-Eat-Meat
2. th-cam.com/users/shorts0UET8LXQBvw?si=6_ZvlUN7kFLXHz8J

4. www.ramcharit.in/valmiki-ramayana-ayodhyakanda-sarga-chapter-52-slokas-with-hindi-meaning/
It's important that we don’t blindly trust any one's interpretation. Instead, we should do our own research and read the original Valmiki Ramayana in Sanskrit with a proper Sanskrit dictionary to understand the true meaning and context of the text.
Answer to this channel: You very deliberately go against the Veda's, All Scriptures, Dharma, and what is Sanatan!
Ahimsa is part of everything and its said to be the biggest, largest of Dharma. Even nowadays, scientific research and findings are very clear not to eat meat of any kind.
In Yajurveda 30-15 is clearly written:
O God drive away a gambler, friend of the dice-king; a person with evil designs for murdering cows; a cow-killer for gallows; one who for hunger goes begging to a man who is cutting up a cow; a leader of meat eaters bent on misdeed; the son of a depraved person, befriending a sinner! O God create a wise person who soon realizes the shortcomings in the acts performed; a person who is fit in childhood, youth and old age; one endowed with capability for this world and the next; a leader of the Assembly for drying up the resources of the enemy!
These are not the only man alike looking who are committing harsh crime against the Supreme. Killing in any Yagya or for it are forbidden, heinous and are not accepted by the Deva's. Devabhojan is fruit-plantbased and without harm its Milk and derived products are used. Douane, means only two of the four from the udders are neatly allowed to have by human as long they leave the other two for its calves. We are not allowed to take all four. So, quit misleading people that is done by those who do not belonging within the normal Varna-system which has nothing to do with western caste-system enforced upon all Indian people. You got converted and lost your roots to deviously mislead others. Nowhere in the Vedas or any scripyite such things like you say is written. We know to break us the Abrahamics has falsified text within our scriptures. Since the Veda is scientific, new research has supported these. Only the meat-industry wants to get rich and is misleading everyoneto consume what is very wrong for their body and system.
I was about to write this but took time to search the comment section and here it is. A worthy comment, thanks for this!
@saikatsen6976
Maryada purushottam doesn't related to maryada every being-ottam
Whole hindu philosophy works on karma system. And according to karma system, borning as a animal is a bad fruit of your karma. So meat eating can't be against Hinduism. Also, it doesn't matter if our ancestors & even avatars ate meat or not. Because, culture & habits changes with time. Today, 24×7 meat eaters westerners too becoming vegan.
But, as a human, we also have human dharma towards everyone. So, if you compare old meat eating (self hunting & killing animal by ourself) with current meat eating (meat coming from meat farm & shops) is different. Earlier, humans kill animal in one way to eat meat. But today, animals get extreme cruelty before getting killed because of high demand & business. So, eating meat in today's time without knowing or checking the cruelty with alive animal is adharmik.
I myself is vegetarian but i will suggest to every non vegetarian to not forget their human dharma too. So, they should either pet animals themselves or buy meat from non cruelty farm while being alive.
Also, I don't like vegetarian & non vegetarian terms regarding hinduism because vegetarians drink milk which isn't vegetarian by definition. So, i like to use the terms - 'less himsak' & 'more himsak'. Because nothing is 100% ahimsak even veganism too.
Milk & unfertilized eggs - both aren't vegetarian food by definition but yes, they are less himsak food then eating meat. But regarding eggs, again, main topic should be, knowing about the cruelty or cruelty free life of hens.
@@saikatsen6976 Ahimsa Paramah Dharmah.
Manusmriti 5th chapter, 51,12 is told about meateaters and the 8 sort of sin they commit. They don't talk about what is not right, but straight to be sin.
1st who ordered the kill,
2nd who cut the meat,
3rd who killed the animal,
4th to buy an animal to kill,
5th to sell an animal to be slaughtered,
6th those who cook/prepare it,
7th those who serves it,
8th those who eat it. the
Vedas tells also the same and does not allow any killings, *except for protection*, which are very very bad demonic people, and only then you should kill, because that will be Dharma.They also say thou shall not kill, but the meaning is lost to those human like beings.
@@saikatsen6976 दुरजनः परिहर्तव्यो विद्यालंकृतो सन ।

Indeed my fav channel in you tube ❤
I am very thankful for this channel, i have deep respect for the presenter and creator of this content. Whether someone believes that Lord Ram ate meat or not. In no way can one laugh and make fun of people who believe that Lord Ram never ate meat, it's like they are implying that, "look Ram was no different, he was just another non vegetarian, alcoholic hunter." He is and always will be a revered and dear God to Hindus. I don't care what he ate, i care about how he lived. Jai shree Ram 🙏🏽
you don't care because you cannot comprehend the shastras which require immense knowledge. - Satyameva Jayate.

Swami Vivekananda said, the times we are in filled with poverty, war etc. rather eat meat build strength and help everyone. While sitting at home lazily consuming sattvic vegetarian food is of no use !
Anna I'd really appreciate a detailed video or even a series of videos exploring ancient and mediaeval diets and dietary habits.
one time we had navagraha yajna in our home .at that time purohit made somarasa. it was made out of amruthaballi leaf and kallusekkare(rock sugar).it was very very tasty.I never drank that kind of drink before or after.I don't even know what else he put in it.
What a wonderful exposition. Now we understand the origins of many names. Scholarly and factual. Thank you. Wish you a prosperous and productive 2025.
This is an awesome topic. Would you be able to do separate episodes for each of the food groups?
Just remember this before watching that he is talking about the historic times , these food items might seem modern as they are highly hybrid or GMO and not the wild versions
As a keralite I'm so happy to see this! we and bengalis get a lotta blame for eating meat.
The vast knowledge you have about every culture was shown when you said and pronounced all the name of Payesh (Bengali here) correctly.

It's my opinion that there has been many changes in our holy books so it can be a possible way that attackers did changes and changed other things with meat.
My Q: Why in ManuSmriti times were Brahmins mandated to be vegetarian? 27:18 Was it already believed to be a pre-requisite for higher spritual upliftment by that time? Were there other social/ political reasons?
U mentioned that vegetarianism trend took hold after Mahabharat times so wondering what was the rationale for proscribing Brahmins with vegetarianism ( n mushroom avoidance) in times earlier?
Thank you for this work. Yr dedication shows. This piece is like Magnum Opus on this topic 4 curious minds.
I personally am a vegetarian n believe a global tilt towards vegetarianism is better for us 4 many ecological, ideological, geo-political reasons. But have always known we have eaten meat at various times thru history.
Reaching 4 truth should always be the highest goal in reasearch. As they say Satyamev Jayate. Satyam Shivam Sundaram.
Hari Om. 🙏
Acc. To Swami Vivekanand.. Brahmims req. Purity of mind therefore vegetarian food was preferred.
Manusmirthi limits vegetarianism to brahmins.but if you see maha baratham, generally all people moved towards vegetarianism, khatriyas like panja pandavas and general public were more inclined to vegetarian diet. But does not mean 100%everyone was vegetarian, it was a trend that was taking place
You rock young man!! Love listening to you!!
🐟 30. FOOD & DIET:
There are THREE kinds of foods according to the three "modes" explicated in Chapter 18 of this “A Final Instruction Sheet for Humanity”.
Foods in the mode of purity promote good physical and mental health. The adage "healthy body, healthy mind" is pertinent to this mode.
Such foods include, in approximate order of their importance: fruits (especially if they are tree-ripened), vegetables, nuts, legumes/pulses, grains, roots, flowers, tubers, bulbs, and of course, purified water (or milk, in the case of infants), supplemented with seeds and herbs.
To be included in this classification, the food must be LIVING, that is, fresh and raw (or at most, steamed or lightly sautéed, if one is residing in a cold clime). Most animals subsist on living foodstuffs, so to be considered healthy, the food must be both living and natural.
As with all herbivorous mammals, humans who consume a pure diet normally experience a bowel movement after each substantial meal.
Foods in the mode of passion promote indigestion (or, at least, are more difficult to digest than pure foods) and overly-excite the mind.
Such foods are basically the same as above, but with excessive amounts of oil, spices, sweeteners, salt and/or other condiments added.
To be included in this category, the VEGETARIAN* foods may be properly cooked, but not overcooked, and mildly to moderately seasoned.
Those who consume foods predominately in the mode of passion normally defecate after breaking their fast (i.e. the first meal of the day).
Foods in the mode of darkness cannot rightly be called “food” at all, and invariably cause digestive upsets, such as constipation or diarrhoea.
Such “offal” is either dry, stale, putrid, rancid, decayed, carcinogenic, overcooked (or even worse, burnt), processed beyond recognition, or the remnants of another’s meal (that is, food that has been leftover by a person who is lower in the hierarchy of society than the person who intends to consume it. For example, it would be offensive for a beggar to offer the remains of his meal to his king, yet the converse would be a rather gracious act of kindness). Again, to be included in this classification, the food is to be of wholly PLANT or fungal origin.
Ideally, the bulk (if not ALL) of one's diet should comprise of minimally-processed raw foods, such as tropical fruits or vegetable salads, the latter of which often consists of fruits anyway, since such foods as tomatoes, cucumbers and olives are, in fact, fruits, since they are seed-bearing foods. If one consumes a very high proportion of raw fruits, it is rarely, if ever, necessary to fast. Fasting is beneficial for those who partake in a diet high in processed and cooked dishes. Fruit-juice fasting is possibly the best method of fasting, especially for those living an active lifestyle. Unless one is particularly active, eating more than two meals per day is unnecessary. Ideally, cooked and highly-processed foods should be reserved for the final meal of the day, since the process of digestion itself consumes more energy than any other activity.
It is an undeniable scientific fact that humans are a HERBIVOROUS species (more specifically, a predominantly frugivorous, or fruit-eating animal). There is not a single aspect of human psychology or physiology that even suggests that we were designed or evolved to feed on our fellow animals. The primary visual cortex of the brains of hominids has precisely evolved to recognise the colourful fruits that grew in the tropics of the African continent. Only a veritable troglodyte could possibly take delight in the sight and stench of bloody animal carcasses!
Practically all cat owners know to feed their pets with animal flesh, as they understand that felines are obligate carnivores, yet they have not the slightest clue that humans are herbivores biologically, and that the consumption of animal products is gradually destroying their health.
Animal consumption is lawful only if there is a scarcity of ACTUAL food. However, to be fair, some races have adapted reasonably well to an omnivorous diet due to residing in regions of the earth where edible vegetation has been scarce, for millennia before the twentieth century. But even then, those races have been found to improve their health when their diet had been enriched with vegetation. Humans originated in the wetlands of tropical Africa and our source of food is necessarily to be found in such a climate. We humans must surely be the only species of animal life that migrates away from its food source! Who among you would not prefer tropical fruits over the “food” found in the Arctic Circle?
Unnecessarily killing and/or consuming animals is an ABOMINABLE action. It is not natural for humans to hunt animals like sheep, cows, goats, rabbits, chicken, and fish, and gorge on their bloody carcasses. Sheep, rabbits, and cows are food for carnivorous animals such as lions, tigers and wolves, and fish is food for marine and semi-aquatic species. Do humans live in the ocean? Of course not! Then why is it necessary for us to go into the water to find our food? Is that sensible? Not at all, unless, as previously mentioned, one is afflicted with true hunger (and even in the event that one is literally dying of starvation, one ought to, from a moral perspective, as far as practical, eat those animals that are lower in the hierarchy of sentience, such as seafood. Slaughtering a primate is immeasurably more sinful than feeding on crustacean, for instance).
Milk is intended solely for consumption by infants of the SAME species. Cow’s milk is for baby cows, not adult humans. The logic is overwhelming, but unfortunately, not all persons are capable of reaching such a base level of logic to understand that it is unnatural for a human to suckle on the teats of a cow or goat. Furthermore, like all unnatural substances, dairy products are harmful to human physiology.
Ideally, one should sit in a comfortable position and eat one’s meal with a RELAXED mental disposition. Consuming food in an anxious state of mind may cause digestive upsets. If practical, eating with bare (washed) hands is more conducive to the enjoyment of one’s meal.
“And God said, ‘Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit.
You shall have them for food.’”
Genesis 1:29.
The Old Testament portion of the “Holy Bible”.
“Let food be thy medicine,
and let medicine be thy food.”
Hippocrates,
Father of modern medicine.
*The term “Vegetarian” is used LITERALLY here, that is, “one who subsists on vegetation”. One who consumes vegetation and dairy and/or eggs is properly called a “lacto-vegetarian” or a “lacto-ovo vegetarian”, respectively. The term “vegan” is not directly related to diet, but to the philosophy of the avoidance of harming animal life unnecessarily. Animal killing is permissible only in the case of true hunger, self-defence, or in order to eradicate vermin from one's dwelling and work places. Obviously, veganism is to be promoted as the ideal way of life for all humans.
N.B. If you are reading this Holy Scripture, it is highly probable that you are familiar with the concept of the “Three Modes of Nature” (“trī-guṇa”, in Sanskrit). If not, it may be prudent to read or re-read Chapter 18 of “FISH” at this point. In any case, those who are, in fact, familiar with the three modes of nature have an extremely flawed understanding of how they apply to food and diet, particularly if they have studied the ancient Indian texts known collectively as “Ayur Veda” (“The Science of Life/Longevity”). Those persons invariably believe that animal products are categorized in the mode of darkness. However, that assumes that animals are actually human food, which they most assuredly are not.
The system outlined above is by far the most accurate, logical, and authoritative method of classifying food, and ought to be followed by anyone who is truly desirous of living a wholesome life. Unfortunately, even most vegans seem to lean towards less-than-healthy foods.

Veg vs non veg nonsense really is nonsensical.
Sorry but I can't agree with you at all. Our dental structure is suitable for consuming both meat and plants. We are a omnivorous species and thus can digest both meat and plants. Now it is upto you whether or not to consume meat as food.
Typical comment of when religious driven emotions outweighs scientific accumen and evolutionary biology regarding food
@@agniswar3, did you know that in ancient Bhārata (India), a person who consumed ANY type of animal was known as a “Chandāla” (dog-eater) and was not even included in mainstream society, but was an outcast?🥩
So when a DOG-EATER such as yourself presumes to instruct a member of the Holy Priesthood (The World Teacher Himself, in my particular case), it is rather amusing (and, of course, totally evil).👿
Bless You Always, Mr. DOG-EATING beta-male! 😇
Great video brother, sometimes I wonder how you manage to get all these information. I really appreciate the work you are doing and letting the current & future generations know the history of Bharath.
Beautiful how the food we know today allows us to travel back in time through the scriptures 🙏
Beautiful how although many names have changed, I noticed Chana didn't change and also same sound refers to a unit of time, correct me if Im wrong. Also its the main one that we eat as a family in so many forms, modified as a sweet, savory, snack, main dish, amazing how it stood the test of time, and provides sustainance in so many ways.
Wonderful to know how food is perceived from our ancestral vedic perspectives.
I know little scripture but always say food is life.
Thank you for making this wonderful presentation.
Happy new year.
FOR PEOPLE ASKING LIKE YOU MISSED FISH, COCONUT, ICE CREAM, JACK FRUIT, PEANUTS, ETC ETC SHIT, YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND OR RE-WATCH THE VIDEO ONCE AGAIN HE REPEATEDLY SAID THESE ARE THE FOODS MENTIONED MOST OF THE TIMES IN OUR SCRIPTURES .. HE DIDNT WANT TO MENTION ALL LISTED INGREDIENTS! HE ALSO MENTIONED SOMA IS NO MORE AVAILABLE!
Haha, thanks
The video is, as usual, great. But one thing I beg to differ i.e., We DO have the concept of Satvik and Thamasik. Now, just having meat is not Thamasik, but even if you have certain mixes of vegetarian food, which, when consumed certain specific times, it is supposed to have a thamasik effect.
I think he has said for concept vegitarian and non veg . Also while discussing manusmriti he said of satvic and tamsic (not veg non veg) where a bhraman eating onion and mushroom become shudra.
@@ptpavankumar Satvik diet is for all those who are becoming religious & want to attain moksha.
This is why even Swamijis & Sanyasis from Non-Veg consuming community too leave non-veg & other Rajasic & Tamasic diets
Satvik diet doesn't mean Tamasik, Rajasic foods are banned
@@ssrijanbhatnagar Yes & also just eating once doesn't reduce your Varna but you consuming these foods regularly or they being in your normal diet. There are rituals to cleanse your bodies after u have had onion/garlic/meat etc if had very rarely.
The scriptures speak in detail
Being sakta brambhan , we don't have restrictions on meat eating 😊
Even beef Used to be sacrificed and eaten in vedic india...
Griha surtra, Apastamba sutra has mention of it...
Even mahabharata has mention of offering beef in sradha to ancestors in anushashana parva where bhisma advises yudhistira different food offering to ancestors ..
It says if you offer Beef to pirti sradha .. then pitri will be satisfied for whole year...
Long awaited 👌👌
EXCELLENT DOCUMENTARY. waiting for the next one.
In this video he explained about Mamsodhanam, which is completely wrong. He might be doing videos to let the ppl know about something which we don't know, but he should be very conscious. Because English meanings does not suite perfect to sanskrit. We should learn sanskrit to find if the sloka is as it was or modified. I would request everyone who watch this comment to verify the below link. Which has clearly explained about what I am talking. Also requesting this channel to cross check the content with scholars before posted as it impacts many ppl. My concern is impact should be in the correct way should not mislead

wanted to point out sir _ the verses of vedic literature are not called as slokas - they are referred to as mantras. this is as i know about it. regards sir
Yes Sir, you are right; I mistakenly quoted them as shlokas. Will correct going forward. 🙏🏻
@@ProjectShivoham Nice gesture... Sir.
You accepted your mistake even though you could have overlooked it..
Respect for you 📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈
Love from BANGLADESH ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wonderful video, that's backed by logic, evidences & references than blind emotions.
Its Neo Vaishnavism by business community (with North Indian Brahmins) & Middle-ages (15th century) Vaishnavite movements that pushed vegetarianism as tradition mostly to other from Muslim society.
Shri Rama was a Kshatriya, Kshatriyas are allowed to eat meat due to nature of Varna (lifestyle+job).
This is why old Vaishnavism (only Brahmin Vaishnavites are to be veg as they have to uphold Varna) in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka (Vokkaligas), Rajputs (who consider themselves descendents of Shri Rama/Shri Krishna), North Eastern people whose rulers were married into Mahabharata clans etc all eat non-vegetarian/meat that's still cooked as per traditional sense.
The Military Hotel Style (in Karnataka) meat cooking tradition & recipes prepared by Vokkaligas/Gowdas, Marathis, Savjis etc & Coastal Karavali style by Shetty/Bunts is actually 1000s of years old (these communities too were Kshatriyas & have many Vaishnavites)
Just superb. Kudos to you man!!!❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Very well researched and presented video. Loved watching it. Excellent! You got a new subscriber :)
Wow.. Thank you for putting up all the information together for us first time i got your video in my feed. Gratitude 🙏🏽
Nice and very informative video, also if possible please make a video on recipes and daily diet of people (from morning to night)❤❤❤
12:03
Based on some research it is derived that these rhymms related to eating meat products and using them for yajnas were actually included by the people(including pandits) for their own benefit or for making people believe that Sanatani are also meat eaters for proving their agenda.
I can't believe that a religion who is so careful for the life of every living being can't consume meat products for satisfying their taste buds.
Even sanatani philosophy emphasize and urge that If you don't create a living being you don't have the right to take a life.
Read about the ancient vedic rituals where its is absolutely clear that meat offerings and meat consumption is very much part of Hindu Vedic Sampradayas
Waiting for the part 2 ❤
And please make a documentry on 'Shakta Parampara' it's history, unknown facts, and how to follow and practice this parampara in modern day by myself.
Yeah, especially of southern India
Excellent video as always About Biryani This is from an Iranian chef who said that the word Biryan means a chunk or whole roasted meat with roasted vegetables forms a complete dish She also said the Mughals of India mixed it with rice and named it Biryani After doing a little research I found out that the emperor Akbar had gotten the Mahabharata translated and he was inspired by the cuisine (Paak darpana) to be sure and thus found Mamsaudana and crowned it as BIRYANI The sad part is we Bharatiyas didn’t bother to find out the truth till now
Excellent video as always 🙏
Very well done sir..Love ur content so much and this is one of the most important videos and the information which must be known to people nowadays..❤❤
For some vegetarians who get offended hearing that our ancestors ate meat, please understand that before the green revolution, it wasn't uncommon for a farmer to reap less than what was sown. Much of the time, farners could only harvest the bare minimum needed for a profit, especially outside the Gangetic plain. Thus, eating meat provided a source of protein and source of food in times of scarcity.
Besides, it is an animals Karma to get eaten , as long as the eater doesn't overindulge. As for those offended that our Gods ate meat, do understand that those who are sacrificed for God reach a higher realm, if not Moksha. What living being wouldn't dream of that !
Let people get offended. At least they'll know the truth
Doing great! 😮 May you make it to the TOP 😊❤
Absolutely breathtaking and brilliant 👍👏
Apparently, Marigolds, is from Spain 🇪🇦.
I never knew that, until this week, while watching a South American explain why Mexico and India both use marigolds.
🤔My question is, what were the traditional flowers for Pooja then?
Padma, Juhi, Mandara, Mallika, Champa, Kumudini, Aparajita, Ketaki, Malati, Madhumalati, Tagara, Kunda, Shephali, Krushnachura, Ashoka etc etc.
@@mtarkes ...thanks. and for the lazy people, someone has to make a video
Namaste sir. Sea food or fish has an distinct place holder in the culture of food and medicines. Shouldn't it be an part of this video too?
Please clarify on this... Weren't they mentioned in many of the scriptures?
Consuming meat since vedic days derives an 'full stop' to many people. Why when and how part must not be ignored. So request you to make an follow-up video on this.
If possible please make an detailed video on "Charaka Samhitha" alone where everything under the sun & moon are mentioned for human diet and medicines.
Thank you 🙏
Today's halal meat is not allowed for hindus, only meat which is sacrificed to the deities can be consumed.
Very informative compilation of food & preparation techniques of our past 👌
The facts you presented about the Vedas seem very contradictory. For instance, the Gita states that it is the summary of the Vedas and Upanishads, yet Sri Krishna forbids Tamasic food in the Gita. Does that mean the Gita and the Vedas are contradictory? If something is rejected by Bhagwan Sri Krishna, how is it permitted for Shudras in the Manusmriti? Furthermore, if Krishna forbids it, how is it that Rama, another avatar of Vishnu, is depicted as consuming it? Aren’t both Krishna and Rama avatars of Vishnu?
Additionally, the Vedas teach that, according to Paramatma, every creation is like a child. This is why Shiva did not see any difference when replacing Ganesha’s head with that of an elephant. So, how do these teachings align? Please help clarify these doubts.
Meat consumption today is different from Meat consumption in those times. Comparison is fundamentally incorrect. Bhagavan Sri Rama consumed meat which normally part of the diet back then. Read history for its facts , is what all i can say!
I think you missed the word “consecrated”
What do you think counts as tamasic foods btw. In what way is meat tamasic.
I say this because the verse regarding satvic/rajasic/tamsic state satvic includes fatty food.
Which food group is fatty if not dairy and animal/seafood. And no PUFA or MUFA's are not considered fatty simply due to their unsaturated nature.
Where is it written in bhagwat geeta that😂 shri krishna forbids tamsik food? shree krishna just recommends satvik never said that tamsik food sin or what okay and , and bro you should at least know that ramayana happened before Mahabharata then how can you say if shree krishna refused tamsik food then how shree ram ate it this doesn't make any sense.
@@Nareshk123 bro read the ISKCON interpretations probably LOL
Mahodaya, you have provided a knowledgeful information of our Vedic food culture with Sanskrit names is Amazing.... Grateful to your video... I have one doubt.. no where you have mentioned about Ragi... I believe Ragi is also a ancient food item...
Please I want to know the intro/ introduction music or song used in the starting of the video🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hare Krishna 🙏
Most interesting presentation! Thank you! one thing I was really surprised is that is no mention of fish anywhere. Di you notice this and found this curious?
Awesome research. Om Namah Shivaya Vaazhgha...♥️💐🇮🇳🙏
Excellent description nd fabulous information hatsoff
Excellent documentary..can clearly see your hardwork on food research and spreading a clear vision on food evolution and it’s processing
History of metal currency in ancient India.
Consider this topic please
Simply metallurgy
You have to read Geeta Press Telugu version for Srimad Ramayana to really understand whether Sri Rama ate meat .. punchline is that there is no mention that Sri Rama ate meat; on the contrary, during his exile period, abstaining from meat is a precondition.. so what you provide as reference in Ayodhya kanda is incorrect translation.. I generally admire your videos but this one has factual errors
Please keep watching out, in next 2 weeks, i will make a video to explain word by word how and when Rama consumed meat
Its really great to listen about our history of food . Happy New year 2025
Love your in-depth research ..? Excellent work , Thank you 🙏🏽🌹
Thanks for this excellent start. Grateful for the efforts that you put in each video
10.59 on the subject of honey the different kinds are recognised by the honey bee varieties, "heggenu" is big bees "kirujennu" is smaller bees. Just mentioning 2 here. If you speak to old folks in villages or folks close to forests they can give more names based on forest landscape, where the bees nest, like bigger trees or shurbs etc. its a fascinating subject by itself since bees are such essential architects of natural environments
Iam waiting for so long bro ❤ thank you so much
Great research and Waited so long for this video ❤❤
I listened to the entire video and thoroughly enjoyed it. What proof or documentation exists which confirms that Makka/makki/maize already exist in Indian Subcontinent before the 15th century AD? Thanks.
Well researched and explained.thank you. Pls continue your work o bharath rejuvenation.
Super super super sir
Thank you for such a deeply researched video. All of this is very informative.
This has been excellent research and work, highly appreciated. Good luck for your future projects
30:10 this also tells us that to perform any Vedic rituals it's not mandatory to call a Brahmin to do the job, if you know the mantra and process you can also do it by yourself.
Tf! Don't put ur raita thing here, 🤦🏻♂️
@ARYAN_WARRIOR. I just wrote what made sense to me. I am also a (Kulin) Brahmin by blood, so I am in no way shaming them.
@@Shibangi_spirituality do not make things up according to what makes sense to you or doesn't, especially if it's about dharmic traditions.
I feel what you think, as my whole maternal or paternal family is vegetarian.
@@ARYAN_WARRIOR. It's up to me what I want to say, if you don't agree with it just ignore it. Sanatan Dharma gives us the free will to make choices and have different perspectives.
A ritual doesn't need just one mantra. And a Brahmin is not a person who knows only mantras. Hope u get it.
I repeat it was not the flesh of antelope or any animal but the bulb/root that’s been referred. There are lot of misunderstandings regarding Lord Rama eating flesh. It’s not so. Kindly check n post brother
Please read Valmiki Ramayan, it is very clear where there are 4-5 shlokas where the Black Antelope was killed and its blood drained and then cooked for the Vedic Ritual. Lets not impose our opinion on to Ramayanam
After reading Valmiki Ramayana only I messaged
Please read the other message also which I posted. Just for clarification
Anyways it’s upto you what you say or interpret
Well researched, narrated and illustrated. A masterpiece once again, thank you. Hopefully viewers remember to comment, like and subscribe if not already doing so to keep the youtube algo pushing these videos far and wide
I though madhu is honey
Madhu makhi in hindi. Madhu is also honey in malayalam
Thilakan is a name used for men in kerala.
The murukulu is muruk in kerala
The meat and hiney combination is there in egyptuan culture also. There its duck meat and honey. And the explanation i heard is that the honey balances the fatty duck meat . Dont kniw about that...but this is interesting none the less.
One more thing is, all cultures in ancient times used to perform some kind of saxrifices. In very ancient times it was meat undoubtedly, then in our tradition in vedic times ghee was used to add to the fire and later on you can see in some temples watermelons are sacrificed like an animal. And in kerala we always throw a coconut on to a rock hard and burst it. And we all crush lemon or something else when we take our new vehicle adter puja. These are all ritualistic sacrifice to god. And the great thing about our culture is that , just like the food evolved our though processes also evolved somewhat , and instead of sacrificing living things we replaced them with fruits or vegetables. This shows the evolution in our culture whereas other culture strictly follwed the 🔪 ings. Eg aztec ...we evolved at some point. The change is too noticable😊
Madhu is most likely Mead.
😂😂😂
Biryani 😂😂
