[Advaita-l] Onion and garlic: more on food habits

[sriram nagaraj]

Dear List Members,

I would like to know the general opinion on eating onion and garlic, especially by dvijas. In my reading of Sri Manu Smriti, I believe that it is forbidden. Also, what are commonly advised prayaschittas for the same?

Thanks in advance,

Sriram Nagaraj
