Ahimsa (Sanskrit: अहिंसा, IAST: ahiṃsā) and Satya (Sanskrit: सत्य; IAST: Satya) are ancient Indian principles.

• Ahimsa stands for non-violence which applies to all living beings.
• Satya stands for non-falsehood.

These are part of a series of "right living" or ethical rules,
called the Yamas. Yama is a restrain for proper conduct.

Keep in mind, Aurobindo (and his spiritual collaborator, Mirra Alfassa [referred to as "The Mother"], who founded the Sri Aurobindo Ashram, was part of The Mental Plane (it's a New Age thought, like Blavatsky's Theosophy).
The mental plane or world of thought in Hermeticism, Theosophical, Rosicrucian, Aurobindonian and New Age thought refers to the macrocosmic or universal plane or reality, that is made up purely of thought or mindstuff.

Mods of Foods and the #VedicThreefoldAlgorithm

Update:
April 7, 2024 -

There a three modes of foods according to Hinduism

1 - Foods of Goodness:
• the vegetables
• the fruits
• the milk of the cow
• the grains

2 - Foods of Pleasure / Passion:
when you cook foods of goodness for gratifying the palate

.....................EXTREME it is.

3 - Foods of Ignorance:

.

.
.

Many Hindu follow a vegetarian or lacto-vegetarian diet that are in sync with nature, compassionate and respectful of other life forms.

What lacto-vegetarians don't consume is:
• Meat
• Poultry
• Fish
• Eggs (discarded potential for life)

A lacto-vegetarian (sometimes referred to as a lactarian; from the Latin root lact-, milk) diet is a diet that abstains from the consumption of meat as well as eggs, while still consuming dairy products such as milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, ghee, cream, and kefir.
In India, lacto vegetarian is considered synonymous to vegetarian, while eating eggs is considered a form of non-vegetarian diet. The concept and practice of lacto-vegetarianism among a significant number of people comes from ancient India. In other parts of the world, vegetarianism generally refers to ovo lacto vegetarianism instead, allowing eggs into the diet.

Update - April 7, 2024:

Yama is also called Lord of Justice [Source: Laws of Manu, chapter VII | Yama is the one responsible for sending people to hell?])
The earliest mention of Yamas is found in the sanskrit scripture Rigveda (Ṛgveda), such as in verse 5.61.2..
The word in the Rigveda means a "rein, curb", the act of checking or curbing (German: prüfend or zügelnd).

Update - August 28, 2024:

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝟓 𝐘𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐬 (Yogasūtra 2.30[11] cf. Ethics of Jainism) are:
• Ahimsa ([अहिंसा] non-violence) ...
• Satya ([सत्य] truthfulness) ...
• Asteya ([अस्तेय] non-stealing) ...
• Brahmacharya ([ब्रह्मचर्य] moderation of the senses/right use of energy) ...
• Aparigraha ([अपरिग्रहः] non-greed)

Pranayama

Prana (Prana is a Deity, that is above Indra & Prana is the Vital or life force)
What is Prana? Prana is everything.
1. Prana is Fire; 2. the Sun; 3. the Cloud; 4. the Wind; 5. Prana is the Killer of Demons;
Prana comes from 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝟓 (𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭) 𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬: 🔔Akasha/Ether, 💨Vaju/Air, 🔥Agni/Fire, 💧Yala/Water, 🌳Prithvi/Earth

The 5 Pranas are:

𝟏. Prana (inward moving energy?)
𝟐. Apana (outward moving energy?)
𝟑. Udana (circulation of energy?)
𝟒. Vyana (energy of the head and throat?)
𝟓. Samana (digestion and assimilation?)
These are in the various parts of the body, but Prana is the power back of All and All.
𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐚 is the Vital or life force—𝐘𝐚𝐦𝐚, how to control it.

Prana aka:
• Chi
• Orgone
• Mana
• Fohat
• Vril
• Odic Force
• Etheric Energy
• The Great Life Force
