*Why does Hindu Dharma prohibit consumption of non-vegetarian food? *
Majority of Hindus believe that, ‘Non-vegetarianism is demonic and the height of cruelty’. A Hindu woman says, “My husband, who has adopted Western Culture, may have non-vegetarian food; but I, being a Hindu wife, will never even touch meat.’ However, in this day and age some Hindus in the villages as well as in cities, blindly imitate the western culture and have non-vegetarian food. They are Hindus in namesake only.
The reasons why Hindu Dharma prohibits consumption of non-vegetarian food are
• Eating meat is a Tama-dominant act. That is why, it is prohibited in Hindu Dharma. The act of eating meat represents the Raja-Tama-dominant foreign culture.
• Hindu religious texts advise refraining from consuming non-vegetarian food.
It is said in Manusmruti,
? ?????????? ???? ? ????? ? ? ?????? ?
????????????? ??????? ????????????? ?????? ?? – ??????????, ??????? ?, ?????? ??
Meaning: Since man has a natural inclination towards consuming alcohol, meat and copulation, having a desire for them does not amount to sin. But being free from the three is beneficial.
Another shloka in Manusmruti advises giving up all consumption of non-vegetarian food by looking at the origin of meat, the shackling and slaughter of animals for meat. All points elucidated in these shlokas are advice to Hindus by the religious texts.
Subtle picture of meat indicates the following:
•A covering of distressing energy exists around the meat.
?Destroyer particles of negative energy are created in the meat and spread in it.
?A covering of distressing energy is created around the meat and it keeps growing.
?Due to slaughtering the animals and extracting their meat, centres of distressing energies are created in the meat and rings of distressing energy are emitted from every centre.
?Waves of distressing energy, in the form of smell, are emitted into the environment.
?Particles of distressing energy are also emitted into the environment.
•A flow of Akarshan-shakti (energy of attraction) is attracted to the meat and distressing energy in the environment is attracted to it.
•A ring of Illusory energy in a wheel-shaped form is created.
?Illusory particles are also emitted.
The illusory vibrations emitted by the meat affect the mind of the person eating the meat.
