SamaashrayaNam: Food Habits

be "fertilized", and they munch on cakes and pastry to glory.

 

This is disturbing and something serious. Egg is something which is

severely condemned in Dharmashastras and is an abhojya for dwijas.

Consuming it requires a prayaschitta homa.

 

For taittiriya yajurvedins, the homa involves pavamanis and

trisuparna mantras. For Rig vedins different mantras are used.

I do not know the protocols for samavedins.

I urge people who are serious about sampradaya to

stay away from abhakshyas and abhojyas.

 

The rite is listed in the next mail,

 

Thanks & regards,
