Is Animal Sacrifice Bonafide?

[Guest guest]

Dear Devotees,

In Bhagavad Gita Krishna condemns Tamasik qualities.

But how the practice of animal sacrifice came in our

eternal religion Hinduism.What is the actual meaning

of Ashwamedha & Ajhamedha sacrifices?

Is there any vedic scriptures that directly support

animal sacrifice?

All I know is " AHIMSA PARMO DHARMAH: " is the order of

the vedas.Prema means love & hence Love is God.

Please clarify my doubt which is eating me all the

time.

Dear Devotee,

I used to have the same doubt and it disturbed me

for many years. I don't know why it was sanctioned in

the Vedas. With my little knowledge, I know that

Vedas have two Kandas, one Karma Kanda (involving

rituals) and Jnana kanda (involving Jnana yoga etc).

For people who enjoy eating meat, this method was

prescribed and it is a Tamasik way of praying.

Everyone has to evolve from their existing stage.

Meditation and practising yoga is not for all and

sundry. The next stage of prayer is Rajasik,

involving all peraphernalia in decorating Gods and

offering the best of fruits and flowers. The best and

ultimate is the Saatvic mode in which the devotee

gives a flower or leaf or fruit or water, with Utmost

devotion (as mentioned in Gita). Moreover, even the

so called vegetarians (I am one) kill lot of

vegetables and fruits. The bottom line is, since we

have to kill a living being to feed ourselves, it is

bets to offer that whatever ur eating to the lord and

ask him to pardon ur offences in getting it.

 

Thanks,

Prasad.
