Bageshwar Baba on the connection between food and spirituality

On the recent episode of Sunday Brunch by Curly Tales, Bageshwar Baba shared why he believes spiritual seekers should avoid onion and garlic. According to him, these food items increase tamasic tendencies within the body. The idea comes from ancient Hindu philosophy, which classifies human nature into three gunas: sattva (clarity and balance), rajas (activity and desire) and tamas (inertia).
