Pure souls living in these times were peaceful and innocent and were easy prey for the animal predators of this time. When someone is eaten by an animal, their soul becomes a part of the animal. Therefore, rituals were held to slay the animal, thus releasing the soul from its animal bondage. However, the soul retains part of its animal soul as well, and thus is no longer the pure soul it once was. It is said that in this Kali Yuga, virtually everyone on the planet has part animal souls, hence our difficulties overcoming our animal instincts. Also, the animal sacrifices held in the Kali Yuga are virtually non-effective in releasing souls. -- extracted from "Lemurian Scrolls" by Satguru Sivayasubramuniyaswami AUM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
