Why non-vegitarian food should be reduced in diet of 21 century people?

In Human Societies now a days, two kind of food eating peoples are observed. One is vegetarian type and another one is non vegetarian type. In Hinduism, it is very much debating subject among the people about the food. Some will say only vegetarian foods are good for human and some will say that non vegetarian foods are very much essential for human life. Some people will say that non vegitarian food is not for human being. It is not completly true. At the intial stage of human civilization, humans were hunter and they feed on raw meats. In reality both kind of people were there in Hinduism from initial days, both non vegetarian and vegetarian. From the pre Human to till modern humans, non vegetarian food was very much liked and accepted. In ancient time, humans were hunter and were eating raw meat. It can't be said that non vegetarian foods are not for human. In olden days, peoples were doing hard work like hunting, doing agriculture activity, breaking stones, fishing by throwing net on river. Which were bodyache activities. Due to which , they were losing lots of energy and using muscle strength. That's the reason, in olden days, for heavy calorie and because for need of excess amount of protein, peoples were eating meat and fish. They were good runner for hunting animals for meat and cutting trees with lots of effort for firing wood. In this sense, it can be said that ancient peoples were eating non vegetarian food because of there hard labourius activity, due to which they were required lots of energy and protein. We know well that best source of energy is fat which is generally found in meat or fleshes of animal and fat can be stored in human body easily. This stored fat can release energy on requirement of human during his hard working activity.
But eating of non vegitarian food is not much necessary in 21st Century peoples. Now days, peopes are not much labourius and performing any hard work like ancient peoples. With less efforts and easy activities are being carried out. hence, the physical activity of human being has been reduced. Due to which, a common human being requires less calories and protein. Digestion capacity of human being has bee reduced to digest food like meat and fish fleshes. Ancient peoples were even capable to digest raw meat by using appendix, which is now in human body found as a vestigial organ. So, it can be concluded that consuming of both vegitarian and non vegitarian food depends on the requirement of human body. In Hindu cultures brahmin are not allowed to consume non vegitarian food because the labourius work activity is not included in Brahmins routine activity. What a brahmin do in routine activity? Brahmin do studies of mytholgical book, preaching about righteous activity to other cast people, doing worship in temple. Kshatriya were allowed to eat meat because they were warrior and practicing martial. Due to which they used muscle strength. To maintain muscle strength, they consumed meat in their diet. In ancient mythology, it has been described that most of Kshatriya were hunting in jungles. Other cast peoples like shudra and vaishya were doing farming and giving service to society laboriously. They also used their muscle strength.
It can be concluded that 21st century peoples must change thier life style with the demand of time and health. 😀😀😀😀

What is the difference between Non Veg and Tamasik food

Where I am to describe the difference between Non veg food and tamasik food. There are more people who considers that the non veg food and tamasik food are similar. It seems to be similar but having two separate meaning. As we consider scientifically that non veg foods are those which are obtained by killing animals and veg foods are those which are obtained from vegitatiom mean plants. According to Hindu mythology, tamasik is the food which increases heat in body and make the nature of human negative. Due to consuming of tamasik food, it increases sex, angriness, cruelty , mercilessness and all evil behaviours. These type of behaviour is known as tamasik behaviour. Those foods whichever obtained from plant, animal or from soil. After consuming such foods, it's increase tamasik behaviour are known  as tamasik food. Hence some of plant parts also known as tamasik food like Onion and Garlic. Because due to consuming Onion and Garlic, sexual power arises. Meat, fish, and eggs are also considered as tamasik. I think that now u have understood about the differences between Non veg food and Tamasik food. In Hindu mythology, some one branch of mythology says not to eat tamsik food and another branch don't say anything about tamasik food. In Hindu two branches are best known. Those are vedic and tantrik. Even in vedas animal sacrifices were allowed. So it seems that non vegetarianism was also there in ancient india. In tantrik, two paths are there called Dakshin marg (Right hand path) and Vaam marg path (Left hand path). Right hand path is completely stavik sadhana marg and they feed on stavik food. Vaam marg is the tamsik marg they feed on tamasik food like meat, fish, onion and garlic. So these are the differences between Non veg food and tamasik food.

Why Idol Worship is allowed in Hinduism

Many non Hindus are question me. Why Hinduism allows Idol worship. Isn't it bad and unscientific. I answer them. Worship is self unscientific. The believe of existence of God is unscientific. Then how can you say that Idol worship is unscientific. Behind every activity, faith and think. There may be some scientific reasons. Similary, behind the idol worship by Hindus are purely scientific. It is not known to every one. In Hinduism, Rigved is the first book. In that book there is no idol worship. It only describes about nirakar (Unshape). Second is Samved, Third book is Yajurved. Even in second and third book, there is no description about idol worship. These books are prepared at different time as per the requirement of Society. Third book is Atharv bed is also called as Magical book. First time in this book, there was the description about the Sakar (Shape) brahm.
        In ancient time, it was easy for educated and intellectual peoples to gain spiritual upliftment. Because they can believe in existence of god by listening, reading and generating their feeling that Nirakar (Unshaped) brahm exist. So they can worship god easily by there faith and get release from life death cycle. Then Saints and rishi think that how can we provide spiritual upliftment to general public. Because that time general public were mainly uneducated and having less knowledge. Even they cannot understand the concept by listening and practically it was complicated for rishis to make them understand about spirituality. Rishi describing about the Nirakar brahm ( unshaped) but they were not able memorize things and generate feeling for god. For general public, it was difficult to feel god. Then Rishis started thinking about the way how can they generate feeling in general public. They start to describes various quality of god. How god look like. For generation of universe, Rishi started to describe incarnation of God Brahma. Then they describe operation of universe as incarnation of god Vishnu and then for destruction of universe they started to describe God Rudra. Now general public was able generated various feeling for god. In Hindus there are 33 crore God and Goddesses. It means that God may have 33 crore quality or more. These feeling are activated one by one. Hindu doesn't believe in many god but one god with unlimited quality and feelings. This the scientific reason behind idol worship.
   I can remeber a story about a famous saint who was invited by a king for dinner in his palace. That king was highly influence by the Brhama samaj. He was strongly disagree with the idol worship. Unknowingly, a debate has been started between the King and Saint. At last saint consider himself that he defeated. King become happy and ready to give anything as a gift to saint and allow him to do any thing in his palace. On that palace wall, a portrait was being hanged. That portrait was of late father of that king. Saint ordered his disciples to bring that portrait from wall and put that down and hit that with feet. The king become angary and replied to saint " how dare you" to disrespect my father. Then saint replied to king, your father is dead and it just a portrait how can I disrespect him. King said- yes, I know my father is dead but my feeling is attached with this portrait. Saint replied- similarly, idol is non living but the feeling of devotee is attached with idol as a god. King then understand the concept of idol worship and consider his self as he is defeated.
        As you will see different idol of Hindu god and goddesses. Different types of feeling will be activated in mind. For Kali, it aggressive, violence, fear etc. For Vishnu it is smile, happy, peacefulness. For Shiva, it is sacrifice, strong, etc

Why bell is used to ring at entry of Hindu temple before worshiping Hindu deity?

Many time a question come into our mind that why we ring that hanging bell in Hindu temple at the time of entry to temple. Many peoples also must have questioned you about this and amongs you many people might be known the reason behind this. But I have a scientific explaination for this. Yes, I will provide you many examples for this.
We ring the temple bell in temple, it doesn't mean that we do this to wake up God in temple.
I am providing you an example just understand this and assume the things. Suppose some one is walking on road and thinking deeply something in his mind and he doesn't have attention for the vehicles running on that road. At that time a vehicle was coming from his back side toward him. Suddenly, a vehicles driver horned loudly. Now, you may imagine what happened to that person. That person get alert and keep himself safe from that vehicle and get aside and Allow to pass that vehicle. When the driver of that vehicle horned loudly, sequence of thought and imaginations of that person, walking on road get breakdown. Make himself to stay protected from fast vehicles.
Same thing is happened due to the ringing bell. The devotees come to temple  for worship get attended to worship and attention. The sequences of imagination and thought get breakdown and concentrate to the Devine God. Its a kind of simple concentration practices.
Another example, that we used in our daily life is morning alarm. We set the alarming time at night to get up early in morning. When alarm get ring, the sound of ringing breaks the imagination and consciousness due to sleep and wake up. Similar things that we carried out in our life like school bell ringing sound and mobile ring tone etc.

What is difference between Shrimad Bhagwat puran and Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta?

In Hinduism, always a mythological book name is being to be heard as "Shrimad Bhagwat". Many of us don't know that it is not a single book, this is the name of two book. One is called aa Shrimad Bhagwat puran and another one is called as Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta. Yes, Bhagwat geeta is the part of Shrimad Bhagwat puran. Then, a question arises in mind, what is Bhagwat puran. Shrimad Bhagwat puran is the complete Biography of Lord Krishna. From his previous incarnation to life story of Lord Krishna comes under Shrimad Bhagwat puran. And Shrimad Bhagwat geeta is the preaching of knowledge to Arjuna during Kurukshetra war. Shrimad Bhagawat geeta having 18 lessons. In shrimad bhagwat puran, two time lord krishna has preached. First time, he had preached to Udhav about Bhakti yoga, later which is known as Udhav Geeta. In second time, Lord krishna had preached to Arjun for various kind of knowledge about karma, Bhakti, sanyas and gyan yoga. Actual meaning of Bhagwat geeta is " Song from Supreme almighty". 

Thank you

Why five prime deities are considered as significance to worship?

In Hinduism, five deities like Lord Ganesh, Lord Shiva, Lord Vishnu, Lord Surya (Sun) and Goddess Durga are considered as Panch dev or Panchaitan. According to Hindu scripture, only these God and Goddess or sub form of these God and Godesses are capable to provide liberation from Birth and Death cycle (Moksha). These five deities are considered as chief among God and Goddesses.
First four Gods are male power and last one is female power. These five deities are the controller to five materials called Panmahabhut. Through which this universe is consist of. Those five Panchamahabhutas are Vayu (Air), Jal (Water), Agni (Fire), Prithvi (Earth) and Akash (Space).
As we know that Lord Vishnu ride on Garuda (Eagle bird), which indicate the material of Air. Lord Shiva ride on Nandi (Bull) which indicate the material of earth, Lord Surya (Sun) is the indication of fire. Godess Parvati or Durga is the master of water. Lord Ganesh ride on mouse means indicate speed means mind of any person represent the material of sky or space. Mind of some one is very unstable and agile, as similar to Mouse. Lord Ganesh is the master of mind power and intelligence. Lord Vishnu is the controller of wind power means lungs and air in bloods. Lord Shiva is the controller of earth power means muscular strength of body. Lord Surya (Sun) is the controller of fire power who regulate body temperature and bones. Lord Parvati is the controller of fluid power in human body like all blood, lymph and other fluids. Therefore, all these five chief deities are related to five materials of universe. Thousand year ago, rishi munis were more intelligent and they were knowing it's secrets. 

Thank you 

Jai Mahakaal
