Commentary

Thanian:

The vEdhaantha dEsikar,  the one with the grace of Ethiraajaa stood like a lion and triumphed over many debating adversaries; researched the vEdhaas and saasthraas, with the view to guide us in choosing foods that ennoble us and avoid foods that debase us, has given us this prabhandam called aagaara niyamam.  I shall wear His flower like thiruvadi as an ornament on my head.

 

 

[1]

All chEthanaas must understand that there are two kinds of foods, those that are ennobling (saathveega) and those that are debasing (thaamasa). These are described by KaNNan in sri bagavath geethai, by Ethiraajaa in srimadh geethaa bhaashyam, and by many rishees in many saasthraas and smrithees. By following these principles, ajakaran attained mOksham. Likewise, we must understand and follow these rules.

 

[2]  Forbidden foods:

–    Foods that are not brought into the house through the main door.

–    grains such as varagu, etc.

–    foods that mingle with stuff that have fallen from the mouth

–    remainder of what was put into the mouth

–    foods seen by immoral people

–    foods that are burnt

A particular food item may be acceptable or forbidden based on the caste, stage in life, geography, time of eclipse, individual dharmam, etc., etc.  For example, it is said that milk from kapilai cow is acceptable for brahmins, but forbidden for shudraas.  Therefore, one must approach learned people and get your doubts clarified.

 

[21]

For the benefit of people who live in this world characterized by lack of wisdom, Lord kaNNan showed many principles in saasthraas.  After consulting with aachaaryaas these principles have been laid out in this prabhandam.   Guard yourself against the agnostics who believe only in this transient body and world.  Consume only those saathvega foods that helps us amplify our devotion to the thiruvadi of pEraruLaaLan.

 

For further reading, adiyen is also found this nice text.

Right from Vedic literature down to the Itihasas and Puranas, we find scattered references to vegetables and other edibles that can be consumed and those that are better avoided in order to ensure the augmentation of Satva and preclusion of Rajo and Tamo.

 

Here we tried to collect some basics on aahara niyamam laid by our Acharyas.

 

According to Swami Ramanuja, There are three kinds of food to be avoided, as enjoined in the Sruthi. The classification covers the details of the discrimination to be followed among vegetarian foods, and it is understood that non-vegetarian to be completely avoided.

 

They are known as

 

1) JATHIDUSHTAM, that belonging to the prohibited class of food, like eating onion, garlic, etc…

2) ASHRAYA DUSHTAM: prohibited on account of asraya, a source like chAndAlAdhidhravya, coming from impure (immoral) houses, etc

3) NIMITTHA DUSHTAM: contaminated food like remains of food eaten by someone else, ucchishtam, or polluted by the hair, etc.. we can say hygiene wise

Omitting these kinds of Food is viveka with reference to the body, resulting in kAyasuddhi(Purity of the body), physical purity. The purity observed in eating helps one to attain satthvasuddhi (purity of the mind) which in its turn helps to attain dhruvasmrthi (continuous and constant association with lord),

 

1) JATHIDUSHTAM: Vegetables to be avoided: Country Fig (அத்தி), White Fig (இறலி), White Egg Plant/White Brinjal (வெள்ளை கத்தாரி), Fruit and flower from banyan tree (ஆல்)/ Peepal Tree, palm heart, Onion, Garlic, Drumstick, சிறிய அவரை (A small type of beans, small avarakkai), Mushrooms (காளான்), Radish (முள்ளங்கி), Bottle Gourd (சுரைக்காய்), Ridge Gourd (பீர்கங்காய்), Celosia (பண்ணைக் கீரை), Unripe Pomegranate (மாதுளங்காய்), Lotus Stalk (தாமரைக் கிழங்கு), Pasalakkeerai (பசலைக்கீரை), Sanarkeerai (சனர்க்கீரை), Sirukkeerai (சிறுக்கீரை), Red Agathik keerai (சிவப்பு அகத்தி), pannaikkeerai, thoyyirkkeerai and all that grew on tainted ground. Other than Asafoedita (பெருங்காயம்) any food item that is made out of the sap of trees is to be avoided.

 

2) ASHRAYA DUSHTAM : Food that is bought through money earned in illegitimate ways (not authorized by the sastras), Food that is borrowed from a sanyasi and food that has come in contact with a sanyasi’s vessel, Unwashed fruits/vegetables bought from outside shops are to be avoided

 

3) NIMITTHA DUSHTAM : Food that has been contaminated by the presence of flies, worms, hair, nails, Spittle, cloth (ie food that spills on to our clothes), thread, sneeze, saliva (even its is of one’s own), partially `bitten’ by others are to be avoided

 

 

 

Other than above some division on taste, time, etc :

 

Food that is extremely – salty, sour, bitter, spicy, cold, hot, overheated is to be avoided.

Food that is burnt should be avoided.

Food that is not offered to the Lord and then guest before consumption is to be avoided

Food smelt by animals or people, touched by people with the disease, contacted by fly/worm/thread/hair/nail, touched by the mouth of people/rat/dogs/chicken/crow/cat should be avoided.

  Calcium (சுண்ணம்பு) extracted from seashells, bubbles and forth from water should be avoided

Other than buttermilk, any other food item whose composition has been diluted is not to be consumed.

Donot consume puffed rice (பொரி) and wood-apple fruit (விளாம்பழம்) during the day time.

Do not consume any food item containing sesame (எள்ளு)/sesame seed oil, gingelly, curds during night time.

Ghee that served after you started eating should not be consumed.

No food can be taken at sunrise, sunset and midnight.

Food cooked  on Ekadasi and other days of fasting should be avoided

Food cooked without bathing should not be consumed.

Food cooked twice (reheated) should not be consumed.

Food that interferes with mantra Japam/penance or that said to give magical powers should be avoided.

No food can be taken without taking bath and washing hands, and completing ablutions (Parishechanam) and Should not leave without completing the final Parishechanam

Don’t eat under moonlight or fire (should eat with burning lamp) .

Don’t eat – with left hand.

Don’t eat food served by bare hands or spatulas made of Iron (*uncooked food may be served by bare hands)

Don’t eat the food that is mashed by someone else.

Foods –  intended for dEvathaas, offered to dEvathaas such as Sivan should be avoided

Foods that harm our praaNan/ indhriyam and that are unrecognizable are to be avoided

Food offered without love and affection should be avoided.

Food which can be consumed without restriction :

 

Food items like sugarcane juice (கரும்புச்சாறு), curd (தயிர்), milk (பால்), ghee (நெய்), betel nut (பாக்கு)( Widows, Brahmacharis and Sannyasis should not use betel leaves), pepper, honey (தேன்), cardamom (ஏலக்காய்), jaggery, flours, wheat flour, Tender Coconut Water, Juice of flowers/ raw vegetables/ fruits are beyond dhoshams and can be consumed anytime.

Food items that have been cooked in heat without the addition of water, fruits that ripe naturally (and not by artificial methods), raw vegetables ,boiled rice (புழுங்கல் அரிசி*), vadaam (வடாம்), appam (அப்பம்), seedai (சீடை), thenkuzhal (தேன்குழல்), milk derivatives like thiratti paal (திரட்டிப்பால்), etc. can be consumed even if they have gone beyond their use-by date.

On fasting days, one is allowed to consume water, tubers (கிழங்குகள்), ghee, milk, havis (ஹவிஸ்) from yagams and medicines.

Food that is contaminated by the saliva of one’s father, one’s acharyan and one’s first elder brother can be consumed. Wives can consume the food contaminated by the saliva of their husbands.

Also, cooked rice from the previous night, when stored in clean water (பழையது/பழைய சாதம்) can be consumed

Sri Ramanujacharya’s Sri Bhasyam – `Sarvanna Anumatyati Karanam’ Sutras 446 to 448 declares – that in times of danger to life one can consume any food and such intake will not go against Pramanas and Smritis. But, SUTRA 449, However, Clearly and Categorically Forbids Consumption of Liquor even in the Face of Danger to Life.

Swami Drumsticks were clearly prohibited however, swami in the start stated of not naming few as he was unable to know the correct word, could be possible that those might or might not be there what devarir is asking.

Tomatoes can be taken swami, but peerkangai ( ridge gourd ) – prohibited, mentioned above, and it was also mentioned above, the foods which are too much salty, spicy,sour, to be avoided in all circumstances so chilly – prohibited, beans  can be taken . 

@ kambandasan Swami Nandri for replying and posting 

You can, it’s completely your choice

No Sastra says such restrictions regarding watermelon or lauki

Jai Srimanarayana

Moreover, a mumukshu should develop vairagyam from all these gradually that is what is recommended from Acharyas and Bhagwan .
