Guest guest Posted October 3, 2001 Report Share Posted October 3, 2001 First of all it is not vegetarian to eat onions and garlic. They have discovered 21 different types of slow poison in both. So they are not so innocent. Once, in Satya Yuga the risis were performing gomedha and asvamedha sacrefices for the welfare of the whole universe. A cow or a horse would be cut into pieces and placed in the fire. Afterwards the risis would utter mantras and the same animal would come alive in a beautiful young body. One time the risi who was about to perform a gomedha sacrefice, his wife was pregnant. She had a very strong desire to eat and she had heard that if, during pregnancy one has a desire to eat and does not fullfill this, then the baby that will be born will always have saliva coming from its mouth. Very strange, she desired strongly to eat meat, thus she decided to keep one piece of meat of the cow's body that was offered in sacrefice. She hid it and was making a plan to eat it very soon. At that time the risi was finishing the sacrifice and uttered all the mantras for the new young cow to come to life. However when he saw the new cow, he noticed that there was a little part missing from her left side. He went into meditation and realized that his wife had taken away a piece of meat during the sacrifice. Now his wife also understood what happened and quickly threw the meat far away. Due to the effect of the mantras uttered by the risi there was now life in this piece of meat. Then the blood of this meat became red lentils, the bones became garlic and the meat became onions and carrots. Thus these foods are never taken by any vaisnava because it is not vegetarian. Plus it is in the mode of ignorance. _______________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
