I posted this question as a thread elsewhere but I was wondering what followers of ISKCON's reason for no garlic or onions is. Is there a Scriptural mandate from the Veda's, Upanisads or other reputable source saying we shouldn't eat these?
I have been a vegetarian for a while but I still eat garlic and all
manner of onions; regular onions, long green onions, leeks and chives.
Are all of these supposed to be avoided? And what about carrots? Someone told me that carrots should also not be eaten. I can do without garlic and without carrots. But I especially like to eat leeks and sometimes onions. However, I want to please Krishna and I want all my food to be offerable to Him. Though I am not yet convinced that onions shouldn't be eaten. If I want the food I eat to be completely acceptable and offerable to Krishna, do I have to give up leeks and onions too? Is there a Scriptural mandate from the Veda's, Upanisads or other reputable source saying we shouldn't eat these?
