If you want to elevate spiritually, it is advised by our Spiritual masters to refrain from eating Onion and Garlic.
Onion and Garlic are Tamasic and Rajasic in Nature. It is advised to eat only Satvik food to elevate Spiritually to keep the mind under control. Eating onion and Garlic may cause Anger, Irritability and over excitement. It also increases Sexual passion and Ignorance.
Onions and Garlic come under the Pungent Food Types. Even Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita advice us to avoid Pungent Food Types.
Chapter17 Verse 9
kaṭv-amla-lavaṇāty-uṣṇa-
tīkṣṇa-rūkṣa-vidāhinaḥ
āhārā rājasasyeṣṭā
duḥkha-śokāmaya-pradāḥ
Translation:
Foods that are too bitter, too sour, salty, hot, pungent, dry and burning are dear to those in the mode of passion. Such foods cause distress, misery, and disease.
It is to be noted that, in all the ISKCON temples Onion and Garlic are not used in the preparation of Prasadam. Still, the Prasadam tastes heavenly, by the Divine blessings of Lord Krishna.
His Grace Amarendra Das has done thorough research on this topic and explained it beautifully.
