Guest guest Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Speaking of Vegetarian diet and shastra, here is a short story...A Brahmana sadhu was starving in the foot hills of Himalaya. Next to a stream he came across an Elephant driver who was cooking flesh. Seeing the starving sadhu, the sudra offered him some meat, and the sadhu accepted and ate that meat. Then the sudra offered him some water, but he refused the water. The sudra asked why? The sadhu replied he could not take water from a sudra. The sudra said, "But you have eaten meat from me! Why not water?" The sadhu said he ate the meat to keep from dying of hunger, but there was a stream running near by, so he had ample water, and thus followed the rule.Y/s,RichardSend instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.
