Category: Satvik food

According to the ancient principles of Ayurveda and yogic philosophy, food is categorized by its effect on the body and mind, and most interpretations conclude that eggs cannot be considered satvik. This is primarily because eggs are believed to possess tamasic and rajasic qualities, which are considered detrimental to mental clarity and spiritual balance.

According to Hindu tradition, makhana, also known as fox nuts or lotus seeds, is widely accepted as a sattvic food, making it perfectly suitable for consumption during the Janmashtami fast. These light, crunchy snacks can be prepared in various forms to provide sustained energy and nutrition throughout the day of fasting.
