    hi,

     

    mine friend advise me to drink on urine, especially the first urine in the morning, after wake up.

     

    i want to know is this healthy? is this recorded in the ayurveda?

     

    thanks

     

    chong

     

    Now thats a very peculiar question. After all we pass urine to remove it from our body. Keeping urine in the body will burn/harm our organs as it is toxic in nature. I can't see any point as to why someone should drink the urine that was supposed to be passed. :confused:

    Since long time, I have a doubt over the history of religions. I am quite aware that Hinduism dates back to long time than other religions.Then, I doubt if there are any other religions such as Islam , Christianity at the time of Ramayana or Mahabharata.What are the People of western countries during Ramayana? Are they Christians or Jews or Muslims?

     

    No, no Christianity and Islam came a lot time later. Hinduism has been there for hundreds of years, in different forms and all. We don't know how the civilization people worshipped, because it was only after civilization that we Hinduism began. If we knew what happened earlier, then we might get a satisfactory answer to your Q.

    Mr. Bertram Perera has posed the above question in the Opinion/Letters page of "The Island" of October 16, 2008.

    My answer to his query is a definite ‘Yes’ and I have no doubt that it would be the same answer from all right thinking Buddhists and Hindus the world over.

    All long established religions, Buddhism, Saivism, Brahminism and Jainism - these four being the off-shoots of Hinduism - and also Zoroastrianism, have advocated abstinence from flesh food. Some even regard Hinduism as the ‘mother’ of all the other religions as no one seems to know for certain how and when it originated.

    So if there is to be abstinence from flesh food according to these religions, it is crystal clear that there should be no ‘killing’ or ‘slaughter’ of animals (which includes fish - a cold blooded animal living wholly in water) for food.

    Vegetarianism is a direct consequence to the adherence of ‘Ahimsa’ (compassion) and ‘Metta’ (loving kindness) advocated by both Buddhism and Hinduism.

    I disagree totally with Mr. Bertram Perera that "Man, the animal, has no choice but to remain an omnivore": I would rather state that Man has every choice to be a herbivore like, for example, the elephant, (the strongest animal on earth), the horse (one of the fastest animals), the bull/cow, the camel, the deer, the monkey etc. if he has ‘reverence’ for animal life.

    I agree with Mr. Perera that "Man’s superior intellectual powers are dependent on the food he consumes", but this does not imply that he should depend on a carnivorous or omnivorous diet. He need not be that to be a world class cricketer or an Olympic champion as revealed for example by Sachin Tendulkar (cricket) and Martina Navratilova (tennis) and Vassily Jirov, former Olympic (1996) Cruiser weight boxing champion.

    Amongst other notable vegetarians the following may be cited:

    Charles Darwin, Albert Einstein, Sir Isac Netwon, Plato, Pyhthogoras, George Bernard Shaw, Shakespeare, Mahatma Gandhi, Rabindranath Tagore, Aristotle, Seneca, Socrates Rajendra Prasad (the first President of Independent India), Abdul Khalam (a Muslim), the immediate past President of India and (Sir) Paul and (late) Linda Mc Cartney.

    Even today, the misconception prevails amongst many, that certain people have special nutritional requirements and may have to eat meat, but this is not correct. Being a medical man myself, I would like to categorically state that medical opinion is is currently of the view that there is nothing more nutritious that could be obtained from a carnivorous (flesh) diet than what could be obtained from a well chosen lacto-vegetarian diet and I might add that this is accepted by the World Health Organization (WHO) as well as the American Medical Association (AMA).

    Let me conclude by quoting Dr. Koshalya Walli: " Meat can never be obtained without injuring creatures and so by injuring sentient beings meat eating is detrimental to heavenly bliss and should therefore be shunned. One should consider the disgusting origins of flesh and the cruelty of slaying sentient beings and abstain from flesh eating.

    He, who permits the slaughter of animals, he who cuts up, kills, buys, sells, serves it up and eats, everyone is a slayer of animals.

    Meat cannot be obtained from straw or stone. It can be obtained only by slaughtering a creature, hence meat is not to be eaten."

    So let us "Live and Let Live"

    May All Beings Be Well and Happy!

    Very well said! Exactly what i was trying to say. The bolded lines are the ones which are more convincing. So, I hope no one has doubt.

    Dear All,

     

    I came to know on some stuff from net that there are some statements made by lord rama especially while leaving for forest. He lamented by saying that he would be missing meat delicacies etc.. is this true?

     

    I don't think that's true. It would be a very unhealthy to think that God may eat meat, or kill any animal, and too Lord Rama.

    How could it be? Maybe the sanskrit lines may have been translated in a different manner, in my opinion.

    Teacher: Now, children, if I saw a man beating a donkey and stopped him, what virtue would I be showing?

    Manu: Brotherly love.

     

     

     

     

     

    Teacher: Now, Johny, tell me frankly do you say prayers before eating?

    Manu: No sir, I don't have to, my mom is a good cook.

     

     

     

     

     

    Teacher: What do you call a person who keeps on talking when people are no longer interested?

    Manu: A teacher

    Be good to your fellow beings. Try to always tell the truth. In the game of cricket, the pace bowlers are aggressive because they think, when I can bowl fast why should I fear? So the same applies when you select between truth and a lie. When you can tell the truth, why should you lie? All that happens, happens for good. Do not think ill of anybody or curse anybody eventhough he/she may have given you pain. This much will do to show your devotion to god. To serve the purpose that we are here for. The rest Prayers/Songs/Mantras/Yoga/Meditation are spiritual feelers where you can choose any to suit your lifestyle and adopt accordingly. This is what I personally feel.

     

    No, no...What i meant is how YOU show your devotion and love and prayers to God on a regular basis??:)
