Hello EveryBody

 

I am a new member to the list and student of Ved. While studying I

came across some questions put up by some of other group members. The

following questions were answered to my best of abilities.

 

Just give a thought to it.

 

To Beef or Not to Beef...

 

Q1. Why should a Hindu not eat beef? Of course, Hindus see 33

crore Gods

in it. For that matter, they see God in all entities of the world.

Weren't

it we who said, "Eeshavasya midam sarvam..."? )

 

 

To go to the details of it we may have to go into the Vedic Vishwa.

Basically vedas refer "Gou" as animal and as well as

"Indriya"(senses). The word "Gou" over the period of time became

"Cow" in English(Apabhransh).

In Vedic peroid some yajnas were practiced 1)AshwaMedh 2)GouMedh 3)

AjaMedh

 

The real meaning of each of these word Vedic people knew. Over the

period they(words) lost meanings and people considered Ashwamedh as

to sacrifice Ashwa(Ghoda), GouMedh as to sacrifice Gou(Gaya) and

AjaMedh as to sacrifice Aja(Bakara).

 

This wrong interpretations of these words resulted in heavy

sacrifices of Gou and Aja(Bakara). Gou was and is social animal with

lots of benifits. People knew it and so to stop unnecessary killings

of animal like Gou it was made forbidden in KaliYuga.

 

'Agnihotram gavalambam sanyasam palpaitrukam|

Deverachha sutoptathikaloupanchavivarjayet'|

 

Arthat:

 

'Kaliyug main panch(5) karma karane ke liye nishedh hain

agnihotra,Gavalamban(GouMedh),Sanyas,palapaitruk yane mans pinda

dekar shradha karana aur devar se santati karava lena'

 

That is how people in KaliYuga stopped GouMedh and Hindus who follow

Vedic principle do not eat beef(Gou).

 

Actually in Vedic period Gou means Indriya most of the times. How

otherwise you justify a word GouSwami? Does that mean Nandi ya Bail

ya Hela ya Reda? definitely not. We mean a Rishi or a saintly person

who has conquered his senses.So when Gou means Indriaya Vedic people

used to perform GouMedh that is IndriyaMedh that is IndriaNighriya.

They used to direct Indria rather than guided by them. Over the

period this became difficult to implement and people considered it

to be Gaya or Beef.

 

AshwaMedh also had similar problems. Ashwa is A+Shwa 'A' means

absence and 'Shwa' means breathing. So where Absence of Berathing is

achieved and only Shusmuna nadi works that state is called as Ashwa.

So we have to kill that avasta. Interestingly,only Kshatriyas were

allowed to perform AshwaMedh. Brahamans were not allowed. Bramhan

means Ashwa avasta. A Kshatriya is not supposed to go to Ashwa

avastha because he must look after his subjets.

That is why AshwaMedh was performed by Prabhu RamChandra and

Yudhistir. It is difficult to understand that Prabhu Ramchandra can

kill a innocent Ghoda for his peace of mind(ManahaShanti).It was to

remember that being Kshtriya they have to have Shawas(Nitya Karma).

This was also misinterpreted in the post vedic kala and people

started killings Ghoda.

 

AjaMedh is A+ja(That has not taken birth) so AjaMedh means kill that

has not taken bitrh! Was that Abortion? Aja means Bramhavasta so not

to indulge in Bramahavsta is what AjaMedh means. Aja avastha means

Brhama avastha ko samasaman kar jo avastha utpana ho ti hain use

Sama+Aja Samaj kahate hain. So AjaMedh means Samaj ka uddhar.

 

So Vedic people were AshawaMedhi(Jagrut),GouMedhi(IndriyaNighra),and

AjaMedhi(Samajsheel).

 

Over the period people took altogeter diffrent and wrong

interpretations and hence question like Beef eating comes up. So when

entire world was practicising Vedic sanskruti some of them took

GouMedh as Gou killins(Chirstains,Muslims), some of them took it as

GouSwami,GouWardhan,GouPal(Hindu),Some of them took as Strong Indria

Nirodh (Jain).

 

By no means Vedas allowed animal scarifiecs. So it is not only Gou

but any animal sacrifices are not allowed.

 

 

Q2:Is vegetarianism a hindu concept.?

 

 

 

As far as my interpretations go Vegetarianism and Non-Vegetarianism

are not Hindu(Vedic) concept.It is there that animal sacrifices were

not allowed but in the Vedic litrature it is not mentioned that

Mansahar(Non-Veg) is not allowed. There was actually no problem with

the animal eatings till Ramayan and MahaBharat. There are sevral

instances of Ram either eating or stop eating Mansahar. It may sound

contradictory to what we said above but let me explain.

 

We all know Four Vernas.It was a best example of Mankind

Classification. A person would be classified as to be belonging to

one of the Verna based on the attributes(Guna) and not the family.

Kshatriya is Kshatrap ya Warman. This means that anyone who is

maintaining his physical strength to reduce mind detractors.

Naturally, that person has to indulge in wordly activities. He has to

reduce(Warman) chanchal vrutii so it is obvious for eating habits as

well. There is no good reason to belive that it was prohibited in the

vedic society to have Mansahar. The fourth question what you have put

itself is an answer to the question that Veg & Non-Veg is not Hindu

(Vedic) Concept.

 

Q3: Veg better than Non-Veg?

 

Vedic society did not bother about this. Actually, this better & bad

came because of Buddhism and Jainism in post Vedic period. Buddha

preached extreme non-voilence. This question is discussed because of

Buddhas impact in society.

 

 

 

Q4:

Why the bramhins(the priest class) are the only ones who are shunned

from

non-vegetarianism while others are allowed.?. Is it that hindusim

preaches

non violence vegeterianism on one hand and expects only one section

of it to

follow.?. How can you say then hindu values can be universally

applied.

 

Here again querist mis-interpreted Brahmins as Priest Class. Who is

Brahaman?

 

"Braham Janati Brahaman" who knows Brahama(Ultimate Knowledge) is

Brahaman.

Ved describe Brahaman as "Sharman" Sharam+Ann .Sharam means Teer

(Arrow) and Ann means vibration(Spandan). "Jo Sadhak appne Sharir

Kshtra dwara sadhana prayas kar tatvaruup avastha ko cheerate huai

jata hain aur tatva ko prapta karta hain use Sharman kahatain hain".

In-short Brahman is in tandem with Brahma(Supreme Knowledge). That

person who is tandem with Brahama must be GouSwami(Whose all Indriyas

are under his control) so no Mansahar or Madira.

 

Now the last question

 

Q5:How can you say then hindu values can be universally applied.

 

 

What are Hindu values? What we call Hindu is Vedic person;Who belives

in Vedas(or their derivations) is today called as Hindu courtesy

Muslims.

What is Vedic Sanskruti? Ved means gyan or Knowledge and Vedic means

Gyani. So Vedic Sanskruti is culture of Gyanis. There is no concept

of religion in Vedic time. So Shashtra and Vigyan are two pilliers of

Vedic Vishwa. One who wants to be Vedic will be classified as

Brahaman,Kshatria,Vysha,Shrudra. These are four stages of the student

of vedic society depending attributes(Guna) one has.Ultimate state

and hence desirable is the Brahaman state the meaning of which we see

earlier. So making entire world Brahaman is the basic principle of

Vedas. This is what is the Vedic values that is Hindu Values.

 

Dont you read Universality in it? No other Dharma rests on such a

great principle. We Hindus are supposed to make entire world Brahama-

maya.

 

So be very clear about our roots and present true picture of Vedic

(Hindu) society and teachings in the symposium. Remember you should

to tell what Anand we get in Brahma!!!

 

I talk well dont write well. So at times you may find discontinuty.

Speed of Brain and speed of Tounge can be syncronized but speed of

Brain and Hand very difficult!!!

Still I feel I made the point.

 

Best of Lucks.

 

Thanks a Lot for your Time and Space.
