New posting on village life in Tamil Nadu

[Guest guest]

Dear Era and others,

 

My current understanding is that vegan diet is not suitable for

everyone and has to be supplemented with vitamin b12. Most Indian

vegetarians include milk in their diet. Many also include eggs in

their diet. Swami Yogananda and his teacher, Sri Yukteshwar advocated

eggs as I recall. Many yogis and swamis do eat fish, fowl, and meat.

 

We should also keep in mind that Sri Ramana pointedly refused to

criticize anyone on the basis of their diet even when specifically

invited to do so.

 

Ahimsa or nonviolence has to be the proper attitude towards oneself as

well. So we need not judge others or ourself too hard.

 

To be natural in the moment is best. We all do the best we can.

 

Namaste and love to all

 

Yours in Bhagavan

Harsha

Namaste,

 

Actually Alan there are what appear to be 'Advanced Beings' who eat

meat and there are vegetarians who are ignorant that is the truth.

The reason for vegetarianism should be looked at; is it about health,

culture, custom or is it Daya?

 

People don't judge the meat or fish eater but the pain and suffering

that the animal has to go through to arrive on the plate---that is

what they judge.

 

Look at Karadicz who has been arrested for genocide in Bosnia. He was

working as a alternate medicine doctor and a teacher of meditation,

spirutality and working inner energies. So showing we are both saint

and sinner and it is all an illusion in the mind....We are judging an

illusion and that is delusional, but it is real whilst one is in it

and Universal Daya is a necessary step.

 

As George B Shaw, used to say 'animals are my friends and I don't eat

my friends'......Cheers Tony

Dear Ones

 

the best argument in my opinion is - like Tony wrote - Shaws argument

 

As George B Shaw, used to say 'animals are my friends and I don't eat my friends...
