    what are those food ingredients which increase kama in body

    3 months ago 53

    In Jain dharma, kāma is mainly a mental and karmic attachment, not just a result of one food. Still, some foods are considered to stimulate the senses and increase restlessness or desire.

    Commonly avoided or reduced in Jain discipline:

    • Onion
    • Garlic
    • Very spicy food
    • Very oily / fried food
    • Excessively sweet food
    • Stale or heavy food
    • Intoxicants like alcohol

    These are believed to increase rajas-like restlessness, making the mind more agitated and less controlled.

    For a Jain way of life, the best support is:

    • simple sattvic-style food
    • moderation
    • fasting or restraint
    • control of senses
    • meditation and self-discipline

    If you want, I can also give a Jain list of foods that help reduce kāma and increase brahmacharya.
