Silk and cruelty. time to give up milk even in India?

[Guest guest]

Dear Members,

 

Adiyen wants something clarified that has been nagging

my brain ever since I was very young.

 

Silk, is made from worms (mulberry silkworm) and the

same silk is used to adorn the lord. I have seen the

process of making the silk, where in the cocoon is

boiled so that the strands of silk may be extracted.

are we right in doing this? Is this not a curelty

toward those worms? If it is cruel, then how are using

the same silk to adorn the lord and ourselves?

 

The learned members of the group please let me know of

the answers.

 

Om Namo Narayana

vijay.

It seems like Sri Vijay Sridhran has just read my

mind.. I was thinking about the same

I think the silk from cocoon is a later discovery..

Initially 'pattu' meant only the fabrics with gold

embroydery.. But I'm not very sure.. It is just my gut

feeling
