Recently I came across this in another forum. The issue is why onion and garlic is prohibited for vasishnavites. The writer gave a short answer and a long answer. The short answer is 'it is not acceptable to krishna'. The long answer dealt with various mundane issues.

Many a time, it is easier to accept a solution when it is faith based or given by a person you respect, say your guru. Many NRIs who want to return to india face this dilemma; some have taken the advice of their guru and made a snap decision and never regretted it. And some who took logical decisions are like trishankus, neither here nor there.

Recently, a maharashtrian MS working in Cincinnati, and had the opportunity to join NASA, had returned to his native village on the advice of Sriravishankar, and has won in the local elections.

Mr. Ganesh,
Welcome to the forum.
Your point of view is personal to you. I have different analysis of Gita.
Your opinion seems to be colored by the Hare Krishna movement.
Then again a religious philosophy is personal, and it should satisfy your needs.
