Guest guest Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 There is no term called " Hindu " vedic literature.The vedic scripts were primarily not attached to any religion .At a later stage they were adopted by hindus so as to say. Next NO there is no mention of of the word " wrong " or " sin " in any of the vedic texts. I do not know how Mr Muthukumar came to draw a connection bet'n vedas and considering non-veg to be a sin. The fact is with the evolution of yoga schools, and espicially after Risi Patanjali synthesised yoga as yoga sutra, certain rules were observed by these yogis. The yogis practised very high levels of austerity and barred themselves from killing or any kind non-injury(ahimsa). To maintain a balanced and calm state of mind,they avoided non-vegetarian food.Infact the advanced yogis didn't even eat anything.Vegetarian food is good for health and at times better than non-veg. It is espicially important for the practise of Celebacy and Chastity , thus yogis were primarily vegetarians.But no yogi ever associated the word " bad " with non-veg. This concept were brought by the jains, who followed extreme ahimsa.To them to kill an ant too was a terrible offence. Because of all these factors, eating of non-veg is largely discouraged in India. Shri Ramakrishna and Swamiji might have been non-vegetarians, but during their practise of raja-yoga they refrained from non-veg completely.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 Dear Muthu, I am not well versed in the Vedas; but I do believe that one of the Vedas prescribes the " horse sacrifice " as one of its sacred ceremonies. --- Bob Rose <bobrose108 wrote: > > > > Muthukumar [plucku] > Tuesday, July 13, 2004 1:30 PM snip > * Hi! > I have a question to all.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 -Hello Bob, This question regarding vegetarianism had been posted in another Yaho Group and in response, some one quoted about twenty different statements from vedas prescribing vegetarianism. I will try to find it and post it here for our readers. It may take some time. If someone else already has the information, he/she is most welcome to post it.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 Hai Muthu, I dont think any veda would say eating nonveg is wrong.According to Geetha there are three modes of material nature(conditioning of mind)they are goodness,passion and ignorance.Out of these, mode of goodness is the best though it is still a form of condition.By eating nonveg men are encouraging the slaughter houses.I believe this act is not in conjunction to the mode of goodness.This could probably be the reason why some people might object to the act of eating nonveg.In my openion your question can be explained in many other ways also.I would surely like to know if anyone would differ with my openion. regards, Srikanth.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 Haribol! It is not that eating of meat is wrong (you won't go to hell just for eating meat), in that it poisons the body. Those aspiring toward higher perfections should adopt the most pure life style, this includes a strickly vegetarian diet.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 Killing for food is the essence of life. Animals hunt and humans hunt also. Big fish eats the small fish and the samll fish eat smaller fish and insects. Man is the strongest and the most intelligent of living beings and eats any thing that can be eaten, including animals and vegetables. One difference between eating meat and eating vegetables is, the manifestation of life is felt more in animals than in vegetables. Therefore, although we have to kill whether we eat meat or vegetables, the feeling of hurt is not felt so much while killing vegetables as it does while killing an animal. Again, saints have suggested that we stay away from meat because if you must kill, at least minimize killing and dont kill for pleasure. So vegetarianism has several perspectives. - srikanth eeswara chandra pulugurta <tistuff wrote: > Hai Muthu, > > ===== Incredibly low long distance phone rate: 4.5 cents pm! go to:http://www.ldpcphonemodem.cjb.net Need extra cash?
