Educational Q&A

Yogic strength is supported by tapas (austerity) and self-restraint, especially through a simple, non-indulgent diet—eating plain grains and avoiding rich, oily/unctuous foods.

In the Shanti Parva instruction, Bhishma continues advising Yudhishthira on disciplines conducive to spiritual practice, here highlighting dietary austerity as a means to cultivate yogic power and steadiness.
