Thanks for sharing valuable information
Thank you for the informative video! How about eating egg, mushroom, garlic and onion?
Namaskar, this is the support team🙏
According to yoga philosophy, eggs are among the third type of food, which is called static food (tamasik). It may or may not be harmful to the body, but which is certainly harmful to the mind. Here are some examples: meat, onions, garlic, mushrooms, alcohol, tobacco, hallucinogens, drugs, stale and rotten food.
You can learn more about what yogis eat and the effect of different foods on the mind and quality of meditation in our video "Diet for Higher Consciousness" th-cam.com/video/iT6BTmQWJlE/w-d-xo.html
Best wishes, Meditation Steps🌸

I spent 8 years in Eugene, Oregon. I have to say that there’s some yummy raw food there, and in Bali. But, I know very few people who could sustain the raw food diet. The amount of time that it takes just to eat a huge bowl of salad, not to mention the prep time and the toll it takes one your teeth, then there’s the social aspect of this diet…it takes someone zealous to commit for the long term, in my opinion.
I do mostly raw fruits and vegetables in the morning and afternoon-- including huge salads and fruit-and-flax smoothies-- and then cooked vegan meals at night with grains, legumes, and mock meats. I make fresh juices on occasion. So I'm at about 2/3 raw food and 1/3 cooked. I have a lung disease and the only two doctors I've found that have had any success with patients with these diseases have advocated for raw-heavy diets, if not exclusively raw. My lung disease is closely associated with lung cancer so I'm glad to hear about the diet's role in improving cancer.
But your talk was very balanced and has given me much to think about. I've practiced yoga since the mid 1970s and find that it is very beneficial for aging issues.
P.S. Tomatoes and cucumbers are fruits!
I've been vegan for about 8 years now. I disagree with you that it is an expensive lifestyle. What is expensive is just brands taking advantage of the trend, but as long as you buy regular vegan food it is not. So, I'm not raw vegan and maybe raw food is different. Me and my spouse spend about 400 euro/month for breakfast, lunch and dinner and other supplies such as toilet paper etc. I just want to encourage people to be vegan because I can't really see why you should not, when you reduce suffering to other beings, less environmental impact and it is better for your health.
She’s saying that raw veganism is expensive. I tried it myself and can confirm that raw veganism is expensive. She knows that regular veganism can be done on the cheap because she lived in India for some time.
@@VenusRadha Yes, I just felt the need of highlighting that because that is a argument I often hear why people don't do it. I guess one could say that raw food in general is expensive, and not necessarily confuse that with veganism.
@@davidwenner9830 I have heard that argument as well. Veganism can be expensive if you are buying all the coconut bliss (I love that stuff and I met the original creators of it at a new year's party at their house. They sold Coconut Bliss and made a lot of money.), vegan cheese and vegan meat and such, you know what I mean. I could spend my whole paycheck in those lovely stores. However, it can also be the cheapest diet in the world with potatoes, rice, and beans, etc. You can eat really well and simple, yet still filling and delicious if you know how to work with herbs and spices, etc. Still, in order to get enough calories from a raw food diet, all the juicing, etc, then all the dehydrators and equipment, spendy.
She said in the vídeo that rice and beans are cheap and completely nutritive with some legumes. Perfect diet for the humanity and planet
but always be aware of GMO Fake foods "veganism", those are really dangerous , DNA changing... look up Monsanto company and Glyphosates. Always go for REAL Food from Mother Earth.
Beautiful put, straight from the qualified person😊😊
I disagree strongly about inequality and whatever ecological negatives of live diet. When more people will turn raw, there will be more fruit&nut orchards, quality of fruit will go up, prices - down. Planet will be covered with beautiful food trees. It's heaven on earth and there are people with vision for this actively creating such reality.
Now you my friends can go buy some ripe seasonal fruit and invest in Life.
Namaste bright friends!
😊
Merci ❤
This is wonderful.What is your opinion on egg ? In a way egg is where a life first begins so fertilised or nonfertilized is it considered having life energy ? Thanks
i hope they answer this
Meditation steps diet of choice and traditional ahimsa ideas advocate for lacto-vegetarian, though that was in a context where you are supposed to treat with a cow with love and respect (complete opposite of industry farms), but eggs were always considered a pretty significant violation of ahimsa most of the time. Also eggs are pretty unhealthy so besides having to overcome tastes and familiar habits it is not much of a loss to stop eating egg, if you can you may be able to find mock egg recipes on the internet with yellow mung or mock egg products.

Everything has life energy - including plants. However, whereas in nature, animals produce milk to nourish their young, and thus it has been generated for consumption, eggs are designed to create a being, and the animal doesn't produce it to be eaten, but rather to procreate. Whether fertilized or unfertilized, the basic intention and energy of it is the same, so it is similar to eating an undeveloped form of animal life and it is still tamasic because they are an animal food, not a plant food. Plants also have life energy - but it is much less developed and for the practice of ahimsa, in general it is good to eat the most undeveloped life forms with less consciousness or potential consciousness. The formation of eggs, is similar to the menstruation cycle in human beings, which also produce eggs, but if not fertilized are shed, and certainly wouldn't be considered an edible product, whereas milk is produced also by human beings for nourishment and wouldn't be tamasic.
Thank you for the reply .I’ve been a vegetarian for 11 years & gave up eggs 3 years ago just since I developed an unliking to it .Your response really helps thank you 🙏
This is a big topic. Within the framework of yogic philosophy Didi presented well rounded argument. 🍊
Great video! Lots of excellent points.
Yeah, living on only raw vegan foods would hard on vatta types, especially in cold weather.
I'm mostly pitta, and like raw foods with breakfast or lunch, but warm cooked foods in the evening. However, I live in a warm dry desert climate, so the juicy cooling fruits & veggies are great in the hot part of the day. Eating only raw foods would be difficult for me.
I tried a raw vegan diet for a period of time. I would still "cheat" with a cooked sweet potato in the evenings. It's nice in the summer, but going into fall & winter, I noticed the quality of the fruits really dropped. It's one thing if you're eating delicious, in-season fruits in the summer, and another if you're left with poor quality fruits in the winter.
As far as the effect of more people eating raw on the world, I think the effect would be positive, if people grew more of their own food. Planting more fruit trees is good for soil, habitat for birds, and provides seasonal food for humans. But, fruit is seasonal, not a staple. It can't be relied on the same way as shelf stable foods, like grains and legumes.
I think the raw vegan diet has a lot of positive effects, but is best for people who live in warm climates or who can afford good quality fruits shipped to them regularly.
Yes the diet depends on the person. When I found out about Doshas it was life changing, before that it was just hit or miss. I tried different kinds of diets over the years, but ayurvedic diet was the best. You need to listen to the body for what it wants. Thank you for the video! ♥
Thank you for sharing!🧡
Namaskar! I am also a yogacharya (margii) This video contradicts in many ways the diet of Swami Sivananda, (126 Year-Old Yoga Guru Padma), who doesn't eat fruit, or drink milk. He calls these "fancy foods", and bases his diet on rice, lentils, and boiled vegetables.
🔥🙏🏻💖
i eat a raw diet for more than 7 years now and i rarely consume any nuts or seeds but i agree eating a mostly cooked vegan diet can be nutritious, cheaper and more convenient.
Great vid... Love your stuff kick on love it ❤️
Thank you very much!
baba nam kevalam
thank you for sharing! Your energy is very inspiring! namaskar
Before any diet - consult a doctor, that one who studied medicine. Second, keep in mind your illnesses, not only your ayurvedic dosha. Strongest digestion has Pitta, not Kapha, as you saing. Then take care of what is good for the planet - eating food from asia when you are living in western europe - is killing your planet. Personal intolerance is another thing your should think about. Think twice😅 before any strong change in your diet.
How offensive are you. From a scale of Yes to Yes.
Eating raw foods depends on where you are in the world. You do that in some countries, you get really sick. You have to be so careful in SE Asia, for example. I tried it when I was still living in the States (I am American), I couldn’t tolerate a fully raw diet beyond a week. I’m Vata Kapha. My digestion is terrible. You sound like a midwestern person, like myself.
Thank you for sharing!🙏
