Brahmacharya is also observed to contain one's sensual desires for food and taste, as well as materialism. Most brahmacharis prescribe to avoiding the consumption of meat, spices and cooked foods, said to cultivate the taste buds and pleasure senses of the mind. As such, besides being a frontrunner for Simple_living and Nonresistance, Mohandas also devoted himself trying to create a (in his vision) perfect diet. The diet, later named the "Gandhi-diet" meant a diet which was environmentally acceptable, based on economical (low-cost) products and healthy (allowing the body to perform at its best capabilities; thus keeping digestion in mind). Gandhi diet overview The diet, on which he worked for 35 years, constantly re-evaluating and improving it, consisted of a litre of goat's milk, 150 gm cereals, 75 gm leafy vegetables, 125 gm other vegetables, 25 gm salad, 40 gm ghee or butter, and 40-50 gm jaggery or sugar. Ghandi diet make-up and info As such, despite being inspired by vegetarianism and environmentology, the diet (containing the [[animal-products of ghee/butter and goat milk) cannot be called truly "environmental" (see Vegan#Animal_products). Certain diets (as the Biosphere 2-diet) do not include these downsides Biosphere 2-diet.

message: The article alternates between capitalising Brahmacharya and leaving it all-lowercase.  Which is correct? —QuicksilverT @ 15:15, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proper noun? 

message: 1. Brahmacharya is a period of 14-20 years _before_ the onset of puberty.
2. This stage of life was characterized by the practice of strict celibacy.
Am I the only one wondering, how can one _not_ practice celibacy _before_ puberty?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bailoo (talk • contribs) 08:09, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

message: User at 81.106.127.14 - Please see wikipedia's guidelines on WP:V, WP:OR, WP:SYNTHESIS and WP:LEAD. Your recent edits violate these community agreed guidelines, as follows: (1) In history section, almost all of the content you added is without cites; you did the same some time ago here when you disruptively removed tags requesting citations; such behavior is disruptive and violates WP:V; (2) In history section, you provided one cite - Geoffrey Samuel's book at page 8. However, the page makes no mention of the word Brahmacharya anywhere, or anything close. Using what Samuel states, to imply something about the concept of Brahmacharya, is violating wiki's policy on WP:OR and WP:SYNTHESIS; (3) You deleted, a paragraph from the lead, which summarized an important part of the main text. This violates WP:LEAD.  I am correcting some of these issues, while keeping some of your contributions. I welcome your comments. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 12:23, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

What a joke! What a fraud! Only on Wikipedia folks! 81.106.127.14 (talk) 17:55, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know which editors you're confusing now, but your response betrays the same grandiosity as ever. Nevertheless, I'm glad you found Samuels; you're improving on your sources. Try also Macmillan's Encyclopedia of Religion, general editor Lindsay Jones. Pdf's can be found at the web; it's a lot better than Bowkes, or whatever his name is.
