Divinity and Humanity

[Guest guest]

Srila Prabhupada writes in his purport of the Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 4, Ch

11:

 

Here Lord Manu prohibited Dhruva Maharaja from killing the Yaksas beause

only one of them was punishable for killing his brother, Uttama; not all of

the Yaksas were punishable.

We find in modern warfare, however, that attacks are made upon innocent

citizens who are without fault.

According to the law of Manu, such warfare is a most sinful activity.

Furthermore, at the present moment civilized nations are unnecessarily

maintaining many slaughterhouses for killing innocent animals.

When a nation is attacked by its enemies, the wholesale slaughter of the

citizens should be taken as a reaction to their own sinful activities.

That it nature's law.
