I have seen a famous swamiji (in photo, i am sorry i do not remembr the name) who is sitting in on lion/tiger skin. Ifeel jains who even fear to eat root vegetables like carror, aloo,sweet pototo, are better in such off at time, since they at least donthurt animals or drive them away (like in honey) i am sorry if i have asked a wrong question or hurt anybody. pls advise and let me know.hare srinivasaramesh-- Ramesh Ajgaonkar Check out the all-new face of India.
