While these disciplines have their own importance, we tend to forget that the real purpose of any practice is inner transformation. A person\u2019s values are reflected not merely in external habits but in the way they speak, think, and treat others in everyday <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/>A video from Aniruddha acharyaji Maharaj\u2019s discourses has gone viral where he responds to to a question about wearing a Tulsi mala and consuming onion and garlic. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>What he answered changed the conversation from dietary restrictions to personal conduct, by giving a thought-provoking reminder that only compels us to think deeper.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/><\/p>\n<div data-pos=\"0\" class=\"id-r-component iIpbx undefined  &#10;        \">\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\u201cJinhone Tulsi mala peheni hai kya unhone jhooth bola chor dia\u201d Aniruddha Acharyaji Maharaj\u2019s thought provoking answer to what real spirituality is the most beautiful advice to hear today\" msid=\"132526806\" width=\"\" title=\"Photo: @aniruddhacharyajimaharaj\/ Instagram\" placeholdersrc=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/photo\/83033472.cms\" imgsize=\"\" resizemode=\"4\" offsetvertical=\"0\" placeholdermsid=\"47529300\" type=\"thumb\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/photo\/msid-132526806\/jinhone-tulsi-mala-peheni-hai-kya-unhone-jhooth-bola-chor-dia-aniruddha-acharyaji-maharajs-thought-provoking-answer-to-what-real-spirituality-is-the-most-beautiful-advice-to-hear-today.jpg\" data-api-prerender=\"true\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Photo: @aniruddhacharyajimaharaj\/ Instagram<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Can someone wear a Tulsi mala while eating onion and garlic? <br \/><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>It is a question that frequently comes up in spiritual discussions. Responding to this, spiritual speaker Aniruddhacharya Maharaj said that one can consume onion and garlic even while wearing a Tulsi mala. He explained that these foods are generally avoided because they are considered tamasic in many Hindu traditions, but \u201cusse koi paap nahi chadhta\u201d (it does not, by itself, become a sin).<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>But what won listeners hearts, however, was what he said next. Instead of dwelling on food, he asked a thought provoking question about personal conduct. He asked, \u201cAcha bata lehsun pyaz zyada bura hai ki jhooth? Lehsun pyaz zyada bura hai ki kapat?\u201d According to Aniruddhacharya Maharaj, people should first ask themselves whether they have given up lying, deceit, or gossip after wearing a Tulsi mala. If these harmful habits still remain, then those deserve greater attention before worrying about dietary restrictions.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>He explains what <keyword id=\"26903882\" type=\"General\" weightage=\"20\" keywordseo=\"true-spirituality\" source=\"keywords\">true spirituality<\/keyword> actually is<br \/><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>He further remarked, \u201cHumare yahan kehte hain bade bade paap karen, chote karen lajjaein.\u201d Explaining the saying, he pointed out that many people feel embarrassed about eating onion or garlic, yet think little of speaking lies, indulging in gossip, or deceiving others. In his view, this reflects a misplaced sense of priorities. True spirituality, he suggested, begins with cleansing one\u2019s thoughts, words, and actions.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>He then concludes adding, \u201cIsiliye jhooth bolna chhod do, chugli karna chhod do. Lehsun pyaz toh chhoot hi jaega.\u201d The essence of his advice was that once a person sincerely progresses on the spiritual path and develops inner discipline, external changes often happen naturally rather than through force.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>araj\u2019s response reminds us that spirituality is not measured only by what is on our plate, but also by what is in our heart. Giving up dishonesty, gossip, and hypocrisy may be a far more meaningful step toward spiritual growth than focusing only on external symbols of faith.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"32\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/life-style\/soul-search\/jinhone-tulsi-mala-peheni-hai-kya-unhone-jhooth-bola-chor-dia-aniruddha-acharyaji-maharajs-thought-provoking-answer-to-what-real-spirituality-is-the-most-beautiful-advice-to-hear-today\/articleshow\/132526790.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spiritual speaker Aniruddhacharya Maharaj addressed dietary concerns and spiritual practices.
