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?
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?
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
