subroto Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 the importance vegeteranism and cow protection for the so called mordern hindus who think it is ok to eat meat as long as you are a good person. By the way you cannot be a good person and eat meat at the same time because you are not being 'good' to the dead animal on your plate. Hinduism teaches us to be good to animals as well as humans, not just to humans and treat animals badly. http://krishna.org/ctfote/cow.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subroto Posted June 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Also a lot of people say kshatriyas should eat meat I don't know about that, but in the mahabharata sri krishna instructed arjuna who was a kshatriya to strive to be sattvic and not tamasic.

Nitairam Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Hare Krishna # it is ok to eat meat as long as you are a good person. * only one who is not involved in meat-eating, or killing animals directly or indirectly can develop qualities like compassion, mercy, non-violence etc. Therefore, one who thinks "I am a good person" but simultaneously supports animal killing and eats meat is called a pretender, a hypocrite. # By the way you cannot be a good person and eat meat at the same time because you are not being 'good' to the dead animal on your plate. * What kind of food one eats, (e.g. if tamastic) such person will become (i.e. tamastic). Therefor one should eat sattvic food in the mode of goodness but not only that one should eat transcendental karma free food or vegetarian food that has been first offered to Krishna. According to the Bhagavad-gita one who don't offer his food as a sacrifice to Krishna verily eats only sin. # Hinduism teaches us to be good to animals as well as humans, not just to humans and treat animals badly. * Yes, these are just some preliminary religious principles. Nothing serious, only some basic principle of civilized human life - don't kill (nor humans nor animals), and be vegetarian. Please, chant Hare Krishna and be Happy Nitai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
