Pranam To swamiji My mother always tells me that you should not eat onion and garlic as it is not a satwik food. swamiji please tell me the reason.

Dear Jayalakshmy,
Onions and garlic may be good for physical health; but they may not be good for mental or spiritual growth.
It is said that consumtion of onions increases thoughts and hence passion.
That may be the reason why our ancestors gave restrictions on consuming them.
Please refer to Bhagavath Geetha for a description on Sathwik food.
