Why is it that (in the Hare Krishna movement) you do not eat onions and

When someone acts in a way that seems strange to you, rather than reacting in your usual way, such as, “I can’t believe they would do that,” instead say something to yourself like “I see, that must be the way she sees things in her world. Very interesting.”
When you are genuinely curious about the way someone reacts or the way they feel about something, it’s unlikely that you will be annoyed.
When you are interested in other perspectives, it doesn’t imply, even slightly, that you’re advocating it

The students of Sri Bhagavat vidyapeetham organized a memorial ceremony in honour of HG Gopiparanadhana Pr on 18th at Govardhana.
