EA Auckland Research Gang Chat got curious about the details of ramanujan’s diet. This account of his medical history during his time in England has a lot of cool details.
It seems like practicing Brahmins are not supposed to eat egg, but he seems to have eaten some when he was at this sanitorium and couldn’t get anything better. Interesting note:
Rajasic foods [forbidden] are foods that increase ones mode of passion which is also an obstacle in their spiritual path.
It does seem to me that if you want to avoid flights of passion, you’ll avoid the mode of thought I associate with being well stoked with creatine.I’m curious, how long have they been living under these rules? (Historical evidence seems somewhat unclear, “No Brahmin, no sacrifice, no ritualistic act of any kind ever, even once, is referred to” in any Indian texts between third century BCE and the late first century CE. He also states that “The absence of literary and material evidence, however, does not mean that Brahmanical culture did not exist at that time, but only that it had no elite patronage and was largely confined to rural folk, and therefore went unrecorded in history”)
