(my English is not good...if there is any mistake then ignore it please)
Answer
1. Yes. Milk & its products are beneficial and suitable for Brahmacharya, being 'Satvic' (calming) in nature. Gandhiji never made such a statement. He used to consume goat's and cow's milk on a daily basis.
2. Who asked you to take spice free food? Spices & salt, taken in moderation, cause no harm.
3. Not really necessary for the Brahmachari.
4. Who was created? The Atman (soul) has no birth and death. That which was created was the body & the mind. To make you realize you are not both these is why God created them. So when the one who asks this question realizes who he truly is, this question will not arise.
