Guest guest Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Dear Members... I am a vegetarian, and would never recommend meat eating to anyone. But I have to say that some of the best and most honest people I have known were meat eaters, and some of the worst, dishonest, cruel, evil people I ever met were vegetarians. Hitler was a vegetarian (for example)... And the following 4 lines of text are absurd nonsense and self delusion: > For a thief steeling is not sin but for us it is sin. > For a yogi eating Non vegetarian is a sin but for a foodie it is not a sin > For some people telling lies is a sin and for some telling lies is a good way of life. > For serial killer killing is not a sin but for us it is a sin. ---The above 4 lines of text are completely wrong.

You say each follows their scriptures, fine, but what does it actually imply? It implies that the act you perform is a sin or not a sin depending on weather you consider it to be a sin or not. Isnt that what Karma says too? Poor god has no role in your life - he might have initiated the process of life (we can never be sure of it except for scriptural validation) but from that point hence it is we who have created our karma and it is also we who choose to live that karma. > > > Our rishis have left clues, nothing that they described is literally what they described, yet they described it for those who can see through because there is no other way of accurately representing their experience. > > > Lastly, the puppet analogy I used was to hi-light a few men trying to control other, by proclaiming superior knowledge which makes them gods and hence they have a say in everything you do! > > > If however, you can make yourself puppet in the hands of fate, good for you.. But I suspect you cant - you need a bhagavad gita or a bhagavatam and hence someone who can interpret it for you - which defeats the notion of what you started out to achieve. I am not saying Guru is not needed, but in my opinion the role of god or guru is only to show you the way and let you walk on it - Ramana maharshi pointed out astutely that the path of evolution starts first with God then graduates to guru and then to self - however, do we understand the context in which he used the three names to begin with?? I doubt so ! > > > Ramakrishna was perhaps the greatest bhakti yogi that we have seen in recent history, however he was not beyond his own mental conditioning. Again this is my opinion, and I shud admit that I am nowhere near the greatness of the man that I am talking about. yet - he probably gave us the greatest hint into the nature of spirituality when he said realization is " to say " its not this " " not this " and thereby reaching the essence " that is " and then coming out of that state and realizing " this is that " " this is that " until the whole existence becomes one! " - Yet how could he propose that " money and women " are to be kept away!! It is not that money or women are the hindrances, it is our own nature that contains the seeds of the bias that nature and thought has put into us - that is the real hindrance. > > > So also - we talk of the three states " rajasik, saatvic, tamasic " - Jiddu Krishnamurthy talked of three states of thought " acting, inaction, passive observance " - Sages have described three states of being " waking, sleeping and dreaming " - in essence cant you see that all three are actually the same!!

I feel happy to communicate with you through this group. And I feel I need not to tell you everything elaborately. Still your question provoked my mind to write elaborately. >  > I am not telling any new thing. Many Animal Rights and Animal Protection Organizations throughout the world are telling the same thing. These organizations formed in these days but our Hinduism formed long back and telling the same thing. >  > Asking questions is a good method to explore knowledge. I follow the same. Please treat this as a productive discussion and not as an argument. This reply is little lengthy. >  > In my first email you can see that I appreciated Christians and Muslims who thinks eating non vegetarian is not a sin. They are truly following their sacred books.They all treat their sacred books and their Gods as their Mother and Father and follow it. My worry is some of the Hindus say that they are Hindus and forget what our philosophy taught us. Our Hindu philosophy never told to kill and eat. Unfortunately some of the Hindus are not following what our great saints told us and prescribed us for better living.. Why to doubt our own Mother like Vedas and saints with second thought. >  > Surprisingly most of the saints from Hindu religion said that “All religions are oneâ€.. Surprisingly many other religions can not dare to accept and treat all religions as one. This is the greatness of Hinduism and Hindu saints. We treat all religions as one. Ramakrishnaparamaha msa is a good example for this. Our Hindu Philosophy is the richest and oldest philosophy on earth. So there is nothing wrong in proposing it to our own Hindus. If i propose it to other religions then it is wrong. >  > My answer to your question follows from here. Let me go to the roots of this issue. >  > When we sleep we will get a dream. We think, feel, and talk in dreams. In dream state we feel everything is real. We forget that we are sleeping and we feel every scene and feeling is real in dreams. When we become conscious we understand that it was not real. We never guess what dream we will get and when we wake up we do not know where were those feeling and persons have gone. It was ended. >  > Our life is also like that dream which is not permanent. We do not know where we were before taking birth and we do not know where will go after death.. In between we live in this temporary dream of life. Hence, we all are puppets and the puppeteer is some unseen/unknown energy. You name it God or energy that is your wish. >  > You too know that we all have got unique horoscopes. That unique life style had given by the puppeteer to every puppet on this earth. >  > Now every puppet (Human) has two choices. First choice is to forget about that puppeteer and live this life as real. Second is to think about that puppeteer and try to meet and question that puppeteer to know the secret of this universe. >  > If you fall under second choice, I mean if you are in quest of that puppeteer then one must realize that this body is only false and not real. One has to win Kama, krodha, lobha, moha, matsarya. Then only we can become conscious about our body which is not true. >  > One has to decide in which way his/her life to lead. If one decides to lead his/her life thinking that this body is real and forever then it is his/her wish. If one decides to lead life in quest of that energy which created his/her body as temporary then as I have mentioned above they have to win Kama, krodha, lobha, moha, matsarya. >  > What happens if anybody eats daily pizzas? That person will get more fat, may get heart attack, may get blood sugar and hyper tension and ultimately person will become angry. Our food in take has direct connection on our thinking and health. Non vegetarian foods have got lot of fat. And it is written as sin to kill and eat. Let’s give a chance to those animals to live for some more days. >  > Even Some vegetarian foods are not good. But Non vegetarian food is more dangerous than vegetarian to people who are in quest of that energy/God/puppetee r. If they keep eating food which can effect adversely on the way they think then they will not know God. >  > Our Vedas, Gita , Ramayana , Bhagavatham and all other holy Hindu guides told us how to reach God. They clearly wrote to have Satvik Ahar only and not to eat any animal. >  > Proposing a good thing to build a healthier society is can’t be a wrong thing. >  > > > Have a nice & productive day, > > With Best wishes, > M.kishore. > Cell: 9290749818 >  > If you don't like to read this E-mail then please mention in subject line " REMOVE " . > > --- On Wed, 22/4/09, surya vishnubhotla <surya_prakashv@ > wrote: > > > surya vishnubhotla <surya_prakashv@ ..com> > Re: Veg & Non-veg Issue.

You are advising me to think rationally. But I do not know what rational thinking is. I can think only in one way. And it is from the way of Gita , Ramayana, Bhagavatam and from all other good books of our religion. Your thinking and My thinking is nothing to do here when we trust on " Gods way of Thinking " and those examples that I have taken are for those who adamantly support Non vegetarian. And not for you because I believe you are a vegetarian. >  > Do you think my flaws are very important than conveying the holy message of Lord Krishna and Buddha? >  > " Kindly do not use the word argument here " . This is not an argument at all this is the opinion of our Hindu sacred books. But I have expressed my opinion in a little hot way. > Once again i request all Non-vegetarian Hindus to not to eat Non-veg.

I want to try my best to give an answer to those who eat Non vegetarian and call themselves as Hindus. >  > Somebody told that even plants also have got sense and eating plants is equal to killing an animal. How foolish they are. Thousands of years back human hunted humans and also other animals and ate. It is true that it had happened in ignorance. But now knowingly can you kill a human being and eat like those who use to do in past? No, because now humans will react adversely if do it. >  > Let me explain an incident. Recently in Andhra Pradesh one father used both of his daughters for sex. He says that there is no rule written anywhere to not to have sex with own daughters. What a pity thing it is. Here this father is not able to distinguish what is bad and what is good. And also he right from his end because God has not given him enough intelligence to distinguish what is good and what is bad. >  > Similarly if one thinks that vegetarian food is equal to non-vegetarian then he/she is equal to that Father. >  > I agree with this father and with those who says that no where it is written what is to be eaten and what is not be eaten. However, remember that very fortunately we have taken the Janma of Human. And very fortunately we have taken the Janma of a “Hindu and born in India . >  > If you do not know how to distinguish what is bad and what is Good then its okay. But at least kindly respect and follow our Hindu scriptures and say No to Non vegetarian. >  > Christians: Eat Non-vegetarian because their religion tells that eating non vegetarian is not a sin. I appreciate all Christians because they are following what Bible says. >  > Muslims: I also appreciate Muslim people. They also do not feel eating Non-vegetarian is a sin. >  > Buddhists: I greatly admire them because they strictly follow Buddha and they do not eat Non-vegetarian. >  > Hinduism: > Before commenting on our Hindus I would like to give you some knowledge about Dakshina marg and Vama marg in Tantra and mantra. Some people worship God for Good and some people for Bad. >  > People who worships God for bad they kill animals and give as prasadam to “God and Goddess†for evil desires. Some people till now following it unknowingly and thinking that it is not a sin and it is a good way of worshiping God. Daskhinachara is a good way and vamachara is a bad way. Some Trantrics use vamacahara for getting bad results. >  > Some vamachara techniques unfortunately have been mixed in dakshinachara because they liked the taste of Non-vegetarian. Actually they do not know that they are unknowingly doing a sin by following vamacharam. They will not get any good result by offering animals to deities. >  > Now the question is how can be God used for Bad? Simple, we can use a stone to kill a person as well as to see God in it and to build a house with it etc... We can use Gun to save good people and as well as to kill good people. However, Gun remains same as Gun. Stone remains same as stone but our mind is deciding in which way to use it. Similarly God is pure and good always. It is our mind which wants to use God for evil powers. >  > Good minds can distinguish what is good and what is bad. >  > I am explaining the above things to tell you that if you think that offering a Goat/Hen or any animal is good for God then you are unknowingly falling under vamachara. >  > Our Hindu scriptures never told to eat Non vegetarian. >  > Bible and Khuran say that it is not a sin to eat Non vegetarian. That is why they are following it strictly. But when our “BHAGAVAT GITA†OUR “RAMAYANA†OUR BHAGAVATAM never mentioned to eat Non-vegetarian then HOW DARE A Hindu to Eat Non-vegetarian. >  > “If Bible or Khuran say that Not to eat Non vegetarian then I bet all Christians and > Muslims would have stopped eating Non vegetarianâ€. >  > When all our Vedas and our Pavitra Grandhas tell “No†to “HIMSA†the how can you eat it? If you want to be a perfect Hindu then you should respect our Hindu Vedas and Grandhas. >  > If you are eating Non-vegetarian being a Hindu then do not call yourself as a > “Hinduâ€. All other religion people are best than “Non-vegetarian Hindus†because they are truly trusting their sacred books and respecting it. >  >  > Some of my Christian and Muslim friends sometimes comment that true Hindus are really rare to find these days. They comment that in one way “Hindu dharmas proclaim, “Ahimsa Paramo Dharma†or, Ahimsa is the highest form of dharma (virtue). Ahimsa means non-violence, non-injury or non-killing and most of the Hindus kill animals and eat it. They say that we do not know what religion we are following. >  > Please stop killing animals and eating Non-vegetarian and feel proud to be a Hindu. After reading these entire if any HINDU still argues then I leaves his/her mind to God and pray to God to give him/her a good mind. >  > ““Ahimsa Paramo Dharma†or, Ahimsa is the highest form of dharma (virtue).

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 I think you have mistaken my word or misunderstood what I mean to say or I I might have failed to convey my message. I mean to say that some people consider false/bad acts as good and good/true acts as false/bad. In this view I wanted to tell that a thief thinks that he is doing a right thing. A Serial killer thinks that he is doing a right thing. Hence I wanted to convey that a good person like Lord Buddha thinks that eating non-veg is a sin and a normal person in ignorance thinks that eating non-veg is okay. Hence I told that good people take good choices from elders and experiences. But for some it may take some time or even several births janmas to understand what is good Have a nice & productive day, With Best wishes, M.kishore.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 There is some scholarly debate about Hitler's supposedly being a vegetarian or not. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetarianism_of_Adolf_Hitler Richard Shaw Brown <rsbj66sacred-objects Sent: Saturday, 25 April, 2009 21:42:31 Re: Veg & Non-veg Issue. Ahimsa Paramo Dharma Dear Members... I am a vegetarian, and would never recommend meat eating to anyone. But I have to say that some of the best and most honest people I have known were meat eaters, and some of the worst, dishonest, cruel, evil people I ever met were vegetarians. Hitler was a vegetarian (for example)... And the following 4 lines of text are absurd nonsense and self delusion: > For a thief steeling is not sin but for us it is sin. > For a yogi eating Non vegetarian is a sin but for a foodie it is not a sin > For some people telling lies is a sin and for some telling lies is a good way of life. > For serial killer killing is not a sin but for us it is a sin. ---The above 4 lines of text are completely wrong.

To attain good spiritual knowledge and to control Kama, krodha, lobha, moha, matsarya which are major obstacles for psychological and physical problems one should avoid Non â€"vegetarian food. I am not forcing anybody it is only my suggestion. Now a day’s many Outstanding Doctors and Yoga practitioners, Animal protection societies all are suggesting this. >  > Many greatest saints like Lord Buddha or Ramana Maharshi or Shirdi sai Baba have been suggesting this. How can we underestimate their thinking? By recent research some people are arguing that Jesus Christ is a vegetarian. There is no proper evidence that he ate meat.It is still controversial. >  > Some people are telling that Lord Krishna and Rama ate flesh for which there is no strong evidence. Our standard scriptures like Bhagavat Gita and in Ramayana have no sign or word of meat/flesh found. However some atheists still take and argue. >  > There is no rule written on any book what is good and what is bad.

Its not that I dont use that knowledge, but I now believe that future can never be static, thereby astrology can at best be a indicator at a broad level - this however is only my understanding. > > > call it a discussion or argument - its modus operandi does not change.

You say each follows their scriptures, fine, but what does it actually imply? It implies that the act you perform is a sin or not a sin depending on weather you consider it to be a sin or not. Isnt that what Karma says too? Poor god has no role in your life - he might have initiated the process of life (we can never be sure of it except for scriptural validation) but from that point hence it is we who have created our karma and it is also we who choose to live that karma. > > > Our rishis have left clues, nothing that they described is literally what they described, yet they described it for those who can see through because there is no other way of accurately representing their experience. > > > Lastly, the puppet analogy I used was to hi-light a few men trying to control other, by proclaiming superior knowledge which makes them gods and hence they have a say in everything you do! > > > If however, you can make yourself puppet in the hands of fate, good for you.. But I suspect you cant - you need a bhagavad gita or a bhagavatam and hence someone who can interpret it for you - which defeats the notion of what you started out to achieve. I am not saying Guru is not needed, but in my opinion the role of god or guru is only to show you the way and let you walk on it - Ramana maharshi pointed out astutely that the path of evolution starts first with God then graduates to guru and then to self - however, do we understand the context in which he used the three names to begin with?? I doubt so ! > > > Ramakrishna was perhaps the greatest bhakti yogi that we have seen in recent history, however he was not beyond his own mental conditioning. Again this is my opinion, and I shud admit that I am nowhere near the greatness of the man that I am talking about. yet - he probably gave us the greatest hint into the nature of spirituality when he said realization is "to say "its not thisnot this" and thereby reaching the essence "that is" and then coming out of that state and realizing "this is thatthis is that" until the whole existence becomes one!" - Yet how could he propose that "money and women" are to be kept away!! It is not that money or women are the hindrances, it is our own nature that contains the seeds of the bias that nature and thought has put into us - that is the real hindrance. > > > So also - we talk of the three states "rajasik, saatvic, tamasic" - Jiddu Krishnamurthy talked of three states of thought "acting, inaction, passive observance" - Sages have described three states of being "waking, sleeping and dreaming" - in essence cant you see that all three are actually the same!! All three are the attributes of this thought that is operational within us - lets quickly see how: > > > "Rajasik" - Thought that leads to action  - Loosely corresponds to dreaming > Tamasic - Thought that leads to inaction  - loosely corresponds to sleeping > Saatvic - Thought that is passively observing  - Loosely corresponds to waking > > > this is how far your eating meat can affect you! However, you move one step forward over to Ramana Maharshi - to see that these natures exist as long as thought controls you! the same goes with women and money being hinderences to your progress. > > > If true realisation is your motto - as I guess it is since you talk of Gita - then essentially you have to go beyond thought, not what thought might cause if you eat meat or suggest that vegetarianism can lead to a better society. > > > The real trick is - this is practically impossible - in meditation you briefly touch upon this state where existence ceases to exist, but once you come out of it - its all over - yet if you move further beyond (which I suspect is not easy at all) all that is there is silence where you cannot operate in this world at all - until you reach this state - its foolish to even talk of becoming the puppet in the hands of puppeteer. > > > Just realise that what is suggesting to you that Meat shud be avoided is also the maya that is operational as thought within you. The moment this thought falls, so will the karma associated with eating meat will fall. The question is - will you let go??? > > > > > > > > > > kishore kishore <mydearindian@ > > sacred-objects > Thursday, April 23, 2009 12:24:06 AM > Re: Veg & Non-veg Issue.

I saw one of your articles on ammas website. I feel happy to communicate with you through this group. And I feel I need not to tell you everything elaborately. Still your question provoked my mind to write elaborately. >  > I am not telling any new thing. Many Animal Rights and Animal Protection Organizations throughout the world are telling the same thing. These organizations formed in these days but our Hinduism formed long back and telling the same thing. >  > Asking questions is a good method to explore knowledge. I follow the same. Please treat this as a productive discussion and not as an argument. This reply is little lengthy. >  > In my first email you can see that I appreciated Christians and Muslims who thinks eating non vegetarian is not a sin. They are truly following their sacred books.They all treat their sacred books and their Gods as their Mother and Father and follow it. My worry is some of the Hindus say that they are Hindus and forget what our philosophy taught us. Our Hindu philosophy never told to kill and eat. Unfortunately some of the Hindus are not following what our great saints told us and prescribed us for better living.. Why to doubt our own Mother like Vedas and saints with second thought. >  > Surprisingly most of the saints from Hindu religion said that “All religions are oneâ€�.. Surprisingly many other religions can not dare to accept and treat all religions as one. This is the greatness of Hinduism and Hindu saints. We treat all religions as one. Ramakrishnaparamaha msa is a good example for this. Our Hindu Philosophy is the richest and oldest philosophy on earth. So there is nothing wrong in proposing it to our own Hindus. If i propose it to other religions then it is wrong. >  > My answer to your question follows from here. Let me go to the roots of this issue. >  > When we sleep we will get a dream.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Hmmmmm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gautama_Buddha#Death_.2F_MahaparinirvanaAccording to the Mahaparinibbana Sutta of the Pali canon, at the age of 80, the Buddha announced that he would soon reach Parinirvana or the final deathless state abandoning the earthly body. After this, the Buddha ate his last meal, which he had received as an offering from a blacksmith named Cunda. Falling violently ill, Buddha instructed his attendant Ä€nanda to convince Cunda that the meal eaten at his place had nothing to do with his passing and that his meal would be a source of the greatest merit as it provided the last meal for a Buddha.[17] The precise contents of the Buddha's final meal are not clear, due to variant scriptural traditions and ambiguity over the translation of certain significant terms; the Theravada tradition generally believes that the Buddha was offered some kind of pork, while the Mahayana tradition believes that the Buddha consumed some sort of truffle or other mushroom.I request you all to search net about Mahaparnirvana and cause of death of Bhagwan Buddha......It is said.....that Bhagwan Buddha use to like peacock meat lot....and that meat was cause of his death....This is bit shocking information I guess....RegardsH R Gupte--- On Sun, 26/4/09, kishore kishore <mydearindian wrote:kishore kishore <mydearindianRe: Re: Veg & Non-veg Issue.

I mean to say that some people consider false/bad acts as good and good/true acts as false/bad. In this view I wanted to tell that a thief thinks that he is doing a right thing. A Serial killer thinks that he is doing a right thing. Hence I wanted to convey that a good person like Lord Buddha thinks that eating non-veg is a sin and a normal person in ignorance thinks that eating non-veg is okay. Hence I told that good people take good choices from elders and experiences.

You say each follows their scriptures, fine, but what does it actually imply? It implies that the act you perform is a sin or not a sin depending on weather you consider it to be a sin or not. Isnt that what Karma says too? Poor god has no role in your life - he might have initiated the process of life (we can never be sure of it except for scriptural validation) but from that point hence it is we who have created our karma and it is also we who choose to live that karma. > > > Our rishis have left clues, nothing that they described is literally what they described, yet they described it for those who can see through because there is no other way of accurately representing their experience. > > > Lastly, the puppet analogy I used was to hi-light a few men trying to control other, by proclaiming superior knowledge which makes them gods and hence they have a say in everything you do!> > > If however, you can make yourself puppet in the hands of fate, good for you.. But I suspect you cant - you need a bhagavad gita or a bhagavatam and hence someone who can interpret it for you - which defeats the notion of what you started out to achieve. I am not saying Guru is not needed, but in my opinion the role of god or guru is only to show you the way and let you walk on it - Ramana maharshi pointed out astutely that the path of evolution starts first with God then graduates to guru and then to self - however, do we understand the context in which he used the three names to begin with?? I doubt so !> > > Ramakrishna was perhaps the greatest bhakti yogi that we have seen in recent history, however he was not beyond his own mental conditioning. Again this is my opinion, and I shud admit that I am nowhere near the greatness of the man that I am talking about. yet - he probably gave us the greatest hint into the nature of spirituality when he said realization is "to say "its not thisnot this" and thereby reaching the essence "that is" and then coming out of that state and realizing "this is thatthis is that" until the whole existence becomes one!" - Yet how could he propose that "money and women" are to be kept away!! It is not that money or women are the hindrances, it is our own nature that contains the seeds of the bias that nature and thought has put into us - that is the real hindrance. > > > So also - we talk of the three states "rajasik, saatvic, tamasic" - Jiddu Krishnamurthy talked of three states of thought "acting, inaction, passive observance" - Sages have described three states of being "waking, sleeping and dreaming" - in essence cant you see that all three are actually the same!! All three are the attributes of this thought that is operational within us - lets quickly see how:> > > "Rajasik" - Thought that leads to action - Loosely corresponds to dreaming> Tamasic - Thought that leads to inaction - loosely corresponds to sleeping > Saatvic - Thought that is passively observing - Loosely corresponds to waking > > > this is how far your eating meat can affect you! However, you move one step forward over to Ramana Maharshi - to see that these natures exist as long as thought controls you! the same goes with women and money being hinderences to your progress. > > > If true realisation is your motto - as I guess it is since you talk of Gita - then essentially you have to go beyond thought, not what thought might cause if you eat meat or suggest that vegetarianism can lead to a better society. > > > The real trick is - this is practically impossible - in meditation you briefly touch upon this state where existence ceases to exist, but once you come out of it - its all over - yet if you move further beyond (which I suspect is not easy at all) all that is there is silence where you cannot operate in this world at all - until you reach this state - its foolish to even talk of becoming the puppet in the hands of puppeteer. > > > Just realise that what is suggesting to you that Meat shud be avoided is also the maya that is operational as thought within you.

I saw one of your articles on ammas website. I feel happy to communicate with you through this group. And I feel I need not to tell you everything elaborately. Still your question provoked my mind to write elaborately. > > I am not telling any new thing. Many Animal Rights and Animal Protection Organizations throughout the world are telling the same thing.

Please treat this as a productive discussion and not as an argument. This reply is little lengthy. > > In my first email you can see that I appreciated Christians and Muslims who thinks eating non vegetarian is not a sin. They are truly following their sacred books.They all treat their sacred books and their Gods as their Mother and Father and follow it. My worry is some of the Hindus say that they are Hindus and forget what our philosophy taught us. Our Hindu philosophy never told to kill and eat. Unfortunately some of the Hindus are not following what our great saints told us and prescribed us for better living.. Why to doubt our own Mother like Vedas and saints with second thought. > > Surprisingly most of the saints from Hindu religion said that “All religions are oneâ€.. Surprisingly many other religions can not dare to accept and treat all religions as one. This is the greatness of Hinduism and Hindu saints. We treat all religions as one. Ramakrishnaparamaha msa is a good example for this. Our Hindu Philosophy is the richest and oldest philosophy on earth. So there is nothing wrong in proposing it to our own Hindus. If i propose it to other religions then it is wrong. > > My answer to your question follows from here. Let me go to the roots of this issue. > > When we sleep we will get a dream. We think, feel, and talk in dreams. In dream state we feel everything is real. We forget that we are sleeping and we feel every scene and feeling is real in dreams. When we become conscious we understand that it was not real. We never guess what dream we will get and when we wake up we do not know where were those feeling and persons have gone. It was ended. > > Our life is also like that dream which is not permanent. We do not know where we were before taking birth and we do not know where will go after death.. In between we live in this temporary dream of life. Hence, we all are puppets and the puppeteer is some unseen/unknown energy. You name it God or energy that is your wish. > > You too know that we all have got unique horoscopes. That unique life style had given by the puppeteer to every puppet on this earth. > > Now every puppet (Human) has two choices. First choice is to forget about that puppeteer and live this life as real. Second is to think about that puppeteer and try to meet and question that puppeteer to know the secret of this universe. > > If you fall under second choice, I mean if you are in quest of that puppeteer then one must realize that this body is only false and not real. One has to win Kama, krodha, lobha, moha, matsarya. Then only we can become conscious about our body which is not true. > > One has to decide in which way his/her life to lead. If one decides to lead his/her life thinking that this body is real and forever then it is his/her wish. If one decides to lead life in quest of that energy which created his/her body as temporary then as I have mentioned above they have to win Kama, krodha, lobha, moha, matsarya. > > What happens if anybody eats daily pizzas? That person will get more fat, may get heart attack, may get blood sugar and hyper tension and ultimately person will become angry. Our food in take has direct connection on our thinking and health. Non vegetarian foods have got lot of fat. And it is written as sin to kill and eat. Let’s give a chance to those animals to live for some more days. > > Even Some vegetarian foods are not good. But Non vegetarian food is more dangerous than vegetarian to people who are in quest of that energy/God/puppetee r. If they keep eating food which can effect adversely on the way they think then they will not know God. > > Our Vedas, Gita , Ramayana , Bhagavatham and all other holy Hindu guides told us how to reach God.

How foolish they are. Thousands of years back human hunted humans and also other animals and ate. It is true that it had happened in ignorance. But now knowingly can you kill a human being and eat like those who use to do in past? No, because now humans will react adversely if do it. > > Let me explain an incident. Recently in Andhra Pradesh one father used both of his daughters for sex. He says that there is no rule written anywhere to not to have sex with own daughters. What a pity thing it is. Here this father is not able to distinguish what is bad and what is good.

Some people till now following it unknowingly and thinking that it is not a sin and it is a good way of worshiping God. Daskhinachara is a good way and vamachara is a bad way. Some Trantrics use vamacahara for getting bad results. > > Some vamachara techniques unfortunately have been mixed in dakshinachara because they liked the taste of Non-vegetarian. Actually they do not know that they are unknowingly doing a sin by following vamacharam. They will not get any good result by offering animals to deities. > > Now the question is how can be God used for Bad? Simple, we can use a stone to kill a person as well as to see God in it and to build a house with it etc... We can use Gun to save good people and as well as to kill good people. However, Gun remains same as Gun. Stone remains same as stone but our mind is deciding in which way to use it. Similarly God is pure and good always.
