Guest guest Posted February 10, 2003 Report Share Posted February 10, 2003 Hi all, For the first time I am posting something. this is my answer to our friend Jamie. Jamie you have asked are hindus allowed to eat meat ? Yes hindus are allowed. If you are talking of sub castes there are many who are not allowed / supposed to eat Meat or so called Non veg. Even hindus are not allowed to eat PORK, BEAF. The reason behind this is these two were the avataras of Lord Vishnu. Otherwise also I support people eating meat to keep control on animal population. Comments are welcome . . .

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2003 Report Share Posted February 11, 2003 Dear friend, Whatever I have read and got the info from the anciant people are, Hindus should not take the non veg. There are lot and lot of reasons are behind it. One among them is it is not coming under "Dharma". ( I think it is ManuDharma ) . They should not take other than vegitables. On taking vegitables also there is one sloka is there on bringing the vegitables / leaves when they are alive. We have to tell that manthara for not getting the "pavam" bcz of killing that plant. Killing the plants and eating them comes under "Manuda Dharma". This is clearly explained in Ithigaka. ( Sorry I dont know where it comes, As i read this on long back i forget it the place that present ) The above one is not my vision or thoughts whatever i have got from the antiant / forefathers and from the ithigasa i have given.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2003 Report Share Posted February 12, 2003 Hi, My message was blank. Here: Although prasad is non meat eating other foods besides ritual prasad are eaten by different castes.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2003 Report Share Posted February 23, 2003 Hi Group. My name is JEnnifer (Jayanthi) Some know me from long back.I have been out of the group for awhile. Thought I would stop by today. Found this interesting post I would like to reply to. Yes, Hindus can and many DO eat meat. I lived in Chennai for two years. (I am an American). It is true as another said, that Indian eat a lot less meat than the typical American. I lived in a Christian college. Though mosty populated by Christians, there were many Hindus also living on campus. They served all meat there - mutton (goat),beef,pork,fish,chicken,egg (considered non veg by most). Many Hindus ate all meats. I was shocked to find this out and asked a few of my Hindu friends from my class who were from the village. They said even at one time they ate beef (not ever pork)- the main reason they gave is because the mutton (goat) was too costly and hence they ate the cow because it was cheaper. Many people in INdia are NOT vegetarians. Yes the sheer number, even if 10%, is much more than found in western countries, but even many traditional castes like Brahmins are going into meat eating. In fact I read an interesting book called the value of values (you can find this book for US$7 at arshavidya.org) where swami says one of the reasons for not eating meat is - i should not make something my dinner which can make me their dinner. I liked that. Perfect karma. Of course, in reality a cow can not since a cow (elephant, and so many other animals) are natural vegetarians,but I liked the analogy very much. If any new members you can see my site at http://members.tripod.com/~jennifer_polan I am not sure how often I will visit, life is busy for me. If you want to email me directly that is possible - ilovemadras Om Shanti, Jayanthi (Jennifer) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
