Kanthi is not a matter of wearing a thread around your neck. It’s rather saying Krishna or “Promosing Krishna” – “Prabhu, ab main aapka hoon.” 💛”Prabhu I am your’s” The moment we put it on, our body becomes His temple, and we vow to maintain it to be pure.

Now sincerely… onion & garlic may taste nice 🙄 but they are of no use to us in bhakti. Ayurveda declares that they’re rajasik and tamasik — they play with our mind, make us lazy, angry, and full of unwanted desires. Even science concurs… they hyper stimulate the nervous system and agitate the mind. And bro/sis, if we are restless in the mind, how will we chant in peace?🤨
“Eating onion and garlic may not be considered a sin, but the scriptures clearly advise against it.”
The scriptures already teach us:
“आहारशुद्धौ सत्त्वशुद्धिः, सत्त्वशुद्धौ ध्रुवा स्मृतिः।
Ahaarsudho Sattvasudhih , Sattvasudho Dhruva smritih
Pure food = pure mind. Pure mind = steady remembrance of God.

Visualize this way: One’s body is a mandir 🛕, and the kanthi is similar to the flag on the top. Do we actually want to fill onion-garlic inside Mandir ” Temple”
As saints put it:
“तन मंदिर, मन पुजारी, और नाम ही है दीप हमारा।”
“Tan Mandir, Man pujari, Aur hi hai Deep Hamara “

So honestly, by giving up onion & garlic after wearing kanthi, we’re not losing anything… we’re actually gaining peace, clarity, devotion, and most importantly — Krishna’s blessings. 🧡✨
