Guest guest Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Priya Bhagavat Banduvullara, VOICE OF THE RISHIS - 14 AALASYADANNA DOSHACHCHA MRITYURVIPRAN JIGHAM SATI This means that vipras or Brahmins ( here brahmins means those Sadhakas who have Teetksha to know Brahma Jnana, not born in a particular caste), or seekers after truth or Brahma go to hell by their transgressions to the strict adherence to the studious readings of Vedas and also to the rules of dietics, or approved items of food in their menu. It should be known that stringent rules on taking food, the items, the timings, the preparation of cuisine were imposed upon, on the sainthood in early days. Taking fruits soft, bland but palatable food without much spices and condiments has been ordained in the scripts to be followed by the aspirants or sadhus. Violation in the observance of the regulation are said to be severly punishable under several norms. Any violation of food is called " ANNA DOSHA " , mistake in partaking the wrong food " the above quote states. Mostly vegetarian diet is only allowed to be taken by the saints. It may be asked why so much of premium has been laid upon the nature of food. In Bhagavadgita it is stated that satvic or plain diet only is cherished by the saints or people seeking to lead saintly lives. In all religions, we find such restrictions are imposed upon in this way by its followers. It is said, man is what he eats. May be a debatable point to many. But the adage is for what it is.
