Guest guest Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 In Belgium the islam with their sacrifices of sheep last week-end get a lot of problems with gaia(who is against that way of killing innocent animals). The same for you there!!! It is allready bad enough w emust eat electrically killed animals. They don't suffer that much. You can olso give a sum of money to do something good in this world. sacrifices are not needed at all. Pont! dolma From: kapila_subbalakshmiDate: Mon, 30 Nov 2009 14:19:45 +0530[sBOI-post] Ashvamedha Killing of animals on the name of god is seen in some places in India which is called 'bali'. But swami says bali means paying tax to god. We pay tax to government for providing water, electricity and so on. We are not paying any tax to god who provided natural sun light (which is equivalent infinite number of tube lights and higher), oceans river, rains and so on. God is koti surya sama tejaswarupa whose effluengence is equivalent crores of suns. But swami says to offer to god as tax your bad qualities in bali and as bali, not an animal. OK if animal is sacrified, it gets a higher good life in the next birth, but what about the person who made the bali. In 'Atma Ramam' swami's book I remember reading that many fishes and other animals are getting good higher births because they have been useful to man, as we kill and eat them. The unfortunate thing is that from many generations the things that have been told by great people have not been passed on to the next generations as they are told by great people in the truest sense. Man tries to convert them to his benefit or selfishness. Every body makes their own interpretations. Even people are great enough to convert the swami's words in different ways. So do not worry. If one goes on reading sathya baba's literature, one can find answers to many questions like this. Swami has been giving discourses from many years on so many points. There are vahinis, other sai devotees literature like Mr.Kasturi, Mr.Narasimham, Mr.Anilkumar and so on. Satya sai baba is our contemporary and who is god. Atleast somebody can negate if one gives misinterpreted answer. In the word Aswametha there is a name of tree called aswatha tree (in English it's name is peeple tree which I am not sure) whose leaves will be waving with the wind and our mind is also like that. So it may be related to mind. God Srirama conducted aswamedha yagna which confers boons. God does all yagnas for 'loka kalyanam' not for his benefit because he does not require any. Above all is what I could remember after reading swami's literature. Some others can elaborate. The INTERNET now has a personality. YOURS! See your Homepage. Windows 7: stream eenvoudig je muziek.
