IMPORTANT NOTE: Please know that Swami Sivananda delivered these lectures in India back in early 1950s. During those times in India, many sattvic food items mentioned in this video were available in a natural and pure form. But today the quality of these food items are degraded to such a low level with artificial and processed ingredients, especially in western countries. Sattvic foods are natural, organically grown, and as unrefined as possible. Modern food processing takes the Prana (or life force) out of many foods and makes them heavy, impotent, and lifeless- or simply "dead food." The ancient Ayurvedic criteria for foods to be considered Sattvic were quite simple: foods were grown organically on good rich fertile soil; foods were to be of attractive appearance, and be harvested at the correct time of year. Foods should be whole foods full of life-force and enzymes and be as close as possible as they are in their natural fresh state.
Supreme Yogi Thank you for this clarification about the foods! I was so confused bc I keep reading conflicting information about bread, grains, coffee, tea, garlic, mushrooms, etc. Is there a more recent compilation of what foods are currently considered appropriate for fostering higher consciousness? Please advise. Thank you very much! 🙏
Thank you for the video and this clarification 🙏 I have been on a sattvic diet for more than 1 year, try very hard to get only organic foods, but sometimes have to rely on some tinned or frozen items. I am growing what I can in my backyard garden. Are there any herbs that are particularly good for a sattvic diet?
With respect, I would like to disagree on just one point- milk and milk products(joghurt, buttermilk, butter and ghee). The modern dairy industry involves unconscionable cruelty towards cows and calves. The calf is separated from the cow as soon as it is born, fattened on artificial milk(sugar,water,so flour and oil) and slaughtered. The cow itself is slaughtered. When I look at all this cruelty, I find it difficult to consume milk in any form. I was raised vegetarian and gave up milk just for this one reason-the cruelty of the dairy industry. My mind still craves milk products, but my conscience doesn't allow it. I would like to hear your thoughts on veganism as a diet on the spiritual path. Namaste.
Ancient people use to have cows in the house..the cow was like a family member,,utmost respected..and the milk cow gave was quite nutritious.Milk and milk products were healthy..milk has direct connection with state of mind of the animal..today in diary farms they look only for profit and they are least bothered about how cow feels..when the cow no longer useful or gave milk its butchered for meat. never consume milk that we get from shops..if you want healthy milk and milk products, buy a cow and take care of the cow just like you take care of your family member . consuming milk from such cows are very very healthy
Aparna S with respect sugar should be avoided its the same argument with flouride a little is good so out of sight out of mind sri krishna would not approve of beer or alcohol just the odd drink of wine with all due respect not everything is the truth and this story has alot of holes please study some thorough stuff not lies please and thank you!
Thank you so much for the information, I just wanna say that since I’ve started meditation my body has naturally transferred me to these foods. Anytime I take wrong food( heavy like too many chapatis) consecutively for two three days I can’t meditate and feel lost . So yeah definitely food plays big role in meditation. I usually eat oats with milk and honey and some ghee and seeds and turmeric. I try to do organic as much as possible. And also bananas , spinach , green vegetable and fruits, nuts are helpful. Thanks again
Karma NOT food plays a big role in fixing the ratio of 3 gunas (rajas/tamas/satvik) everyone has. Karma pre-programs a person's mindset or guna and situations and circumstances. If you overeat and quickly realize your mistake, it is your guna based on karma of past lives. It does not mean everyone realizes the same way. Vegan does not mean enlightened. Remember, Hitler was a vegan. Point is food does NOT determine a person's mindset or guna. It is always the karma which decides.
@@Dharmicaction Sure, likewise just because thousands of years ago people didn't exploit cows for their 'products' the same way humans do today doesn't mean when you have 'ghee' you are suddenly enlightened either, or that it is okay. Sometimes I hear Hitler is vegetarian, now he was even vegan. Yet in handful of biographies, some authors who were even close friends of Hitler talk about his love for 'liver,' 'stuffed squab,' and pig flesh.
I agree with you that diet plays a very important role on sadhana path. How food is cooked and eaten ,the company the money earned to buy food is even more important than the food. Satwic shudh, healthy and controlled ahar is the basis of meditaton. Jaisa khao aan vaisa hovey maan Food is not eaten by mouth only what we see ,hear ,talk and eat are all food for mind and body.
Pranama Swamiji! Excellent, nicely explained! Sri Bhagavan said, "If one offers Me with love and devotion a leaf, a flower, a fruit or water, I will accept it. Whatever you do, whatever you eat, whatever you offer or give away, and whatever austerities you perform - do that, as an offering to Me. In this way you will be freed from bondage to work and its auspicious and inauspicious results..." BG 9.26-28
Most tea is definitely healthy - chamomile, ginger, hibiscus, green, peppermint, among others. That's supported by a lot of solid research. Fish can definitely be healthy. Salmon, for example, contains OMEGA 3, which is indispensable to good brain functioning. I think he's correct insofar as a vegetarian diet is desirable, although one needs to consider also where the people in question live. One should stay away from processed food, in favor of the organic variety.
"To the pure, all things are pure; to the base, all things are base." Eat whatever you want, just be grateful when eating and only eat when hungry, balance and harmony will do the trick.
ya i agree that with one glass of milk a day i can meditate easier and dream better than having none, its biproducts like sugar filled yogurt and desert treats cookies cake thats really bad
I do this, if I want to fast for one day... Sprouted seeds.. Munching 3 or 5 neem leaves... Lots of water... No Tea or milk Since in India, everything is adulterated.. If you get pure milk, then you can experiment... again, A fasting mind, should have a purpose.. Enjoyed the video...
Judging by some of the comments, some students think they know better than the teacher. And it goes without saying all food should be pure, clean and fresh.
Just to be clear, when the video means milk, it means milk from "Brahmi (Indian)" cow. The qualities of this milk are that it is white but has an ever so slight yellowish hue in it. People may ask following questions:- 1) What difference does the species of cow make? Answer:- Brahmi cow is naturally evolved and adjudged based on her gunas (behavior) to external environment as the most Sattvic creature on planet (if you follow Vedic doctrine) and is most conducive as it is not lazy, very merciful and loving by nature. 2) Why not milk from Buffalo or goat or even jersey cows (milk that most of us drink in US, UK etc.)? Answer:- Buffalo's milk may increase physical strength much like other milk but the problem is that the behavior of consumers may not be Sattvic. Laziness is predominantly seen after consumption of Buffalo's milk. Milk from hybrid cow variants such as Jersey and others are absolutely non-conducive for Sattvic practices. They still have healthy high proteins and fats for sure. However, for purposes of staying Brahmachari (holding the semen within), heavier foods (tamasic/aphrodisiac) increase pressure on prostrate which cause lust to develop in Sattvic minds. Jersey milk is Tamasic by nature and so it might bestow physical attributes but for Sattvic meditation, it is non-conducive as the animal is a hybrid. There is less clarity on how Jersey cows came to be but it is said that Jersey cows are having bovine and wilder boar-like German ancestry crossbred by Nordic people 3) Why does science find issues with milk all the time? (Issues such casomorphine) Answer:- That is because what the science calls "bovine" (cow's) milk today is in itself from a creature that is not natural but crossbred centuries ago. These hybrid cows are fed badly and are kept under bad conditions and also given artificial hormones.
The ratio of gunas (Rajas, satvik, and tamas) for an individual is pre-programmed (based on past life karma). So, I wouldn't link gunas to food consumption. If that was the case, then people who consumed "brahmi cow milk" would have never created any karma or adharmic acts in the past. I am sure there were lot of sakuni and duriyodhana (who would have had just brahmi cow milk) types in the past even before kaliyuga let alone during kaliyuga. Gunas are pre-programmed by past life karma according to Baghavad Gita.. Do all vegans are beacon of dharma? Hitler was a vegan.
I can see the impact of wrong food eaten any day which directly affects my routine and thoughts. It is very important not to feel tempted to eat rajsic or tamsik items of food.
I don't think milk is a suitable food for people on a spiritual path these days. Cows today are kept in concentration camps, fed with some unnatural mixtures, their calves are taken away... etc. If spiritual development ignores all this, then there is no spiritual development... What other indicator of spiritual development can there be if not compassion and non-violence? Times have changed, I believe that recommending milk these days is a blind misunderstanding...
You are doing very good work Sir. I wish that you keep on spreading this knowledge to as many people as you can. And help them to get the path to enlightenment.
reading this while I just a plate of chicken curry and rice which I pretty heavy ... I always wanted to awaken my chakras but don't know how to... wish I had a guru to teach me what to eat and how to practice
This video just explained it to you.. If you want to have any success in raising the kundalini, a vegetarian, sattvic diet is the way to go. It can actually be done when eating meat and some unhealthy foods, providing you eat in moderation and include healthy foods as well, but it is much harder. If you eat a diet which is mostly raw foods, it is fairly easy; meditation becomes almost effortless. Also, you don't have to have a guru to become enlightened, if you are disciplined and sincere enough. However, most people are not, so then a guru is of great help. All of the information you need to know is available on RUclips in great excess, though. Just practice daily yogasanas, pranayama, mantra chanting and meditation while focusing on the third eye. Chanting mantras like Gayatri mantra, Om Namah Shivaya or Maha mantra is the most effective and foolproof way for settling the mind, if you are a beginner and have a hard time meditating.
... if you watched the video than eating meat of all things would be a good place to start... but you already know this. Dont waste your time writing about not knowing what to do just take action its not hard. Its very simple, consuming death is wrong on all levels.
Thanks a lot for these precious gems. As he mentions potatoes, Does he mean any kind of potato ? (white potato too? sweet potato? yam, taro root etc). Thanks and Best Regards. Keep up the amazing job.
khechari mudra is extremely sensitive.. i started yesterday And I'm ill today.. i did it very often, sitting, standing, before eating something * -- only action i did is - touching the tongue upper back part of inside mouth, Maybe others body is different So they can do better than me, *Be cautious everybody*
I'm very happy to find this channel .I'm trying to eat a vegetarian diet. How do I get my vitamin b12. I can't have dairy and wheat due to health problems . I'm Indian. . And trying to live a yogi life .
I asked the pharmacist how to get my b12 she told me only through meat and fish I can get it naturally. I'm on my spiritual journey and doing alot of fasting and prayer so I hv to stay away from meat and fish.
i gotta say the healthiest diet ive found for vitality was salads with fish at lunch and supper, and oatmeal for breakfast with fruit inbetween maybe protein shakes, and one glass of milk with supper, anymore milk products then one glass a day seems like it takes away from vitality, but the one glass seems very nourishing
Fish is the most tamsik food ,because they live in deep or dirty waters and eat muddy stuff and stink .Those who do sadhana should avoid eating fish and eggs etc .
Thank you for sharing such knowledge, only suggestion is if text is in audio, it is more suitable like we can hear as audio book, I hope you start making video in audio formats
In this society people will not feel the effects of garlic, onion , spices,etc., there is so many distractions that agitate the mind that are worse than those foods( phone, internet, news, traffic) nobody lives in a hut in the mountains in this days.

sugar candy is misri...which has ayurvedic properties and bread here refers to roti I suppose...also in those days white rice was free of chemicals ...so should have been used as healthy food..but it is a very good and informative video...thanks to supreme yogi channel
Generally you are displays your thoughts only my food is spiritually growing morning tiffin. Lunch two small cups rice night dinner two chapathi. Butter milk is perday one liter drink myself .
A very important question :- am I a hypocrite if I first want to detoxify my body and then go for God realization or detoxifying my body on spirtual path ? I read somewhere shri ramakrishna mentioning something about it I don't know the context
Ekaakshar Dar Music what I feel is that first you need to live a sattvic life and go for detoxification then only you can calm your mind easliy ....and hence realize god .... where as if you think of jumping into a deep trance of god realization without detoxification of mind n body things are going to be very rough as such a person's mind is very fluctuating and uncontrollable ...hare Krishna Radhe Radhe ...god bless you
Hello. Thank you for this wonderful video. It seems that salt may be avoided according to the video. Am I wrong? Is it healthy to avoid salt? Thank you for your patience. Peace
I noticed when I’m consuming food with protein my mind is all over and I’m easily agitated 😣 and get involved/argue with people who are always negative. Does anyone noticed this? By the way I’m vegan that sometimes eating chocolate 🍫. Thank you!
If u have an on going kundalini awaking permanent or not. Try to eat raw food only. Sprouts sprouts and potatos / carrots to ground (you will need lot of them) Be aware its hard to handle those energys .. tho its not about handling them .. more like surrendering
What kind of rice or wheat would you advise to consume in order to stick the closest to what he mentions. Is brown rice (steamed) and whole wheat okay?
even mosquito knows the danger the so small being but level of consciousness of that mosquito is very good now we humans are blessed but we are using it just imagine how beautiful we can make this world nd the next world in which we depart. cmon guys light up of the sublime wthin. bless us divine now we are ready.

Aparna Ravishankar you are talking probably pure urban dairy industry. I can still see cattle rearing in old custom in sub urban or rural areas.
A R Where do you get your protein??
Raw milk from grass fed organic cows is the only way. All other pasteurized milk products cause cancer
Very important note! If one can draw energy from cosmic rays...can do away with food.
Wonderful!!!
I went Vegetarian cause I read it raises your vibration. My vibration definitely lowered eating that way when it was extremely high eating meat.

+rohit madan, Please know that Swami Sivananda delivered these lectures in India back in early 1950s. During those times in India, many sattvic food items mentioned in this video were available in a natural and pure form. But today the quality of these food items are degraded to such a low level with artificial and processed ingredients, especially in western countries.
Sattvic foods are natural, organically grown, and as unrefined as possible. Modern food processing takes the Prana
(or life force) out of many foods and makes them heavy, impotent, and lifeless- or simply "dead food."
The ancient Ayurvedic criteria for foods to be considered Sattvic were quite simple: foods were grown organically on good rich fertile soil; foods were to be of attractive appearance, and be harvested at the correct time of year. Foods should be whole foods full of life-force and enzymes and be as close as possible as they are in their natural fresh state.
rohit madan sugar candy? Where in this vdo did he mention it?
I think here bread means roti and sugar candy means gur (jaggery)
Propaganda to eat shite.....whitte rice is bad...candy bad....
sugar candy is misri...which has ayurvedic properties and bread here refers to roti I suppose...also in those days white rice was free of chemicals ...so should have been used as healthy food..but it is a very good and informative video...thanks to supreme yogi channel
Excellent...Thank you for sharing
Thank you for the vedio.

Generally you are displays your thoughts only my food is spiritually growing morning tiffin. Lunch two small cups rice night dinner two chapathi. Butter milk is perday one liter drink myself .
A very important question :- am I a hypocrite if I first want to detoxify my body and then go for God realization or detoxifying my body on spirtual path ? I read somewhere shri ramakrishna mentioning something about it I don't know the context
Ekaakshar Dar Music what I feel is that first you need to live a sattvic life and go for detoxification then only you can calm your mind easliy ....and hence realize god .... where as if you think of jumping into a deep trance of god realization without detoxification of mind n body things are going to be very rough as such a person's mind is very fluctuating and uncontrollable ...hare Krishna Radhe Radhe ...god bless you
@@arupbanerjee7355 thanks for your reply... have a great day may God bless you
Ekaakshar Dar Music thank you my friend ! Have a nice time ahead 🙂
very usefull🙏
Pranam swamiji

I noticed when I’m consuming food with protein my mind is all over and I’m easily agitated 😣 and get involved/argue with people who are always negative.
Does anyone noticed this?

If u have an on going kundalini awaking permanent or not.
Try to eat raw food only.
Sprouts sprouts and potatos / carrots to ground (you will need lot of them)
Be aware its hard to handle those energys .. tho its not about handling them .. more like surrendering
Potatoes are from nightshade family. "All are toxic to some extent.
Raw vegetables can cause oxalate stones or kidney stones. Bad idea. Boiling vegetables reduces oxalate content. Agree that frying is not good.
Raw potato no good
What kind of rice or wheat would you advise to consume in order to stick the closest to what he mentions. Is brown rice (steamed) and whole wheat okay?
modern day knowledge has us choose foods that our microbiome uses
Awesome

Milk, sugar and bread are definetily not healthy foods
Miguel AIS almond milk spelt bread or bread baked from starchless grains the only bad thing is cane sugar or other types of sugar
Miguel AIS that's when you put all your existing food habit together.
Loop
Bread here is probably Indian flat bread.
milk without protein is good. eg milk cream, ghee
That is a tough ask Swami.
Sunthi sevana(form of ginger) is a type of intoxicant...it shouldn't be consumed often.. As told by sadhguru
white sugar white rice should be avoided yes?
