[PLEASE see video description below] The Science of Yoga (Part 4 - Diet)

PLEASE NOTE: The examples used in the above video are simply examples, not prescriptions. I cannot say for sure what specific foods are Sattvic or Tamasic etc, or which are good or bad for you. You will have to work out what works for you! Thanks.

Yogic science concerning diet is known as Ayurveda. This video tells us about the fire in us called Agni, which is likened to a metabolic furnace. It has the potential to create Ojas, as well as Ama.

The ancient Ayurvedic criteria for food to be considered Sattvic were foods were grown organically on good rich fertile soil. Sattvic food should be grown without pesticides, chemical fertilisers, sprays, insecticides,   hormones or anything unnatural. Are we getting such food? In Ancient times egg is considered to be non vegetarian. But now, there has been lot of controversy about it especially in western countries. Excellent Video. Good info

I thought he said agony ....after a while I realized he's actually saying Agni ....but thanks for the information....keep up the good work :)

I have to say part 1 felt like a western water down meditation video but the second third and fourth videos were absolutely amazing and subtle and profound. I will share this video and I have subscribed. Keep up the great work

[EricSanchez]

Yes. I've eaten Sattvic (completely raw living foods for 1.5 years now and it's changed everything). Great video.

[talkshh]

This is amazing. Basically we have to listen to our body

[dharmag]

Food prepared with lots of love will add to their sattvic quality

Eggs are not Satvik they are Tamsik, if anyone's wondering. Video illustrated them incorrectly. Since ancient times indian *Yogies* have considered any non-vegetarian food *Tamasik* and food of *Rakshasa* and eggs are considered non-veg since ancient times.

You cannot compare them with cow milk as they are just "taken" from chickens just like milk. It is like taking an undeveloped child out of mothers womb and consuming it. Milk doesn't develop and grow to be Cow, Goat or Human for that matter.

Also animals can have emotional cravings. We had to leave first our pets behind when we moved from one country to another. In that year they were taking care of a cousin. Only one of our pets did not get along with the other pets in the house. So she kept our pets in her room. Now one of our cats has a weight problem and at nights miause a lot. She'd eat also our other cat's food. She doesn't like to be left alone. So, I'd say: pets can also have emotional cravings.

Science should check that out too ;)

One more common saying, you feel what you eat. (Jaisa anna, waisa man). Your State of mind changes based on what you eat. Red meat will make you aggressive, fruits will calm. And so on.

in all videos 1 - 9 the most important prerequisite in yoga is yama and niyama and the first goal is to get out of the prison of materialism and its influence and what is never told that yoga increases the intellectual power to a unconceivably level - but this what people do not want - they want sensations and sensations

[wisher]

please make a video on "what to eat to get a yogic mind" ..
