Veg Vs. Non-Veg (From a vegetarian's point of view)

December 14, 2009

I know a devotee of Krishna - not just a devotee but one who seesKrishna during his meditations and have experienced samadhi many timesover, who is omnivorous.Hello Rajarshi, I was intrigued by above line in your mail and want to know more about this devotee. Do you know him as a friend and is he a Indian? What sort of path/sadhana is he following?? Is he a sannyasin or a householder ?Did specific changes happened in his life after he had these samadhi and visions.Any other special things about him.In the Gita Lord is saying whatever you do/eat offer it to me first. So he is offering all these non-veg to Lord with devotion, Right?? Then prasdam all around??My curious questions are

not against your acceptance of his exexperienceut to learn more.After all he is part of hidden violence. Somebody is inflicting gruesome pain and misery on animals and birds on his behalf and he is consuming them and yet he is experiencing all these exotic visions, But no feeling of kindness towards birds and animals.Where did I go wrong? Simple dal/roti and do not even touch onion/garlic/pepper but no such samadhi? When we get burnt, we need to be careful.Many years ago I saw in a book/article about Dayamata who succeded Paramhansa Yoganand. Once she went to India and told a Spiritual Master that her progress has stopped. Master said, you are eating eggs which she admitted that she was doing secretly.This is very complex world. No outright solutions for so many difficult questions. Followers of 3 faiths which all originated in middle east are fighting each other all the time. Sometimes I think, from

which part of Spiritual Sky these energies are coming,Are they also enemies there?? Their Gods said in their holy books that animals are their food. So they cannot even think about souls in animals or their pain and emotions.Then I have read stories about several people, who follow these faiths and are non-veg and how they exexperience spiritual highs and other such phenomena. It is so difficult to comprehend. Would they remain in the cycle of b/d till they learn about kindness???Kind RegardsLaxmiNarayan--- On Sat, 12/12/09, rajarshi nandy <rajarshi14 wrote:
