    Vedas have opposed sacrificing animals. The first chapter itself indicates this. Adhvaram Yajnam. Adhvaram means non-violent.

    Really glad and joyful to hear your thoughts on this! It's very true.. humans were misguided or manipulated in understanding the nature and reality in some darker ways.
    Same in Buddhism also as in Tibetan Buddhism, there are blood sacrifices but very less exist now as more head lamas have instructed to avoid it at all cost as it has nothing good to gain but more contaminated karmas to accumulate for later times.
    I think, if there's alternatives, why not.. we should try avoid taking lives and pain to others as much as possible in practical possible ways and it's always possible in today's modern world as lots of alternatives are present even in the remotest corners of the world. We're lucky and should be thankful to the availability of abundance of cruelty-free food and lifestyle choices. 🌱😊✌🏻

    Coconut and bananas are offered to God as they are the only fruits that come out of trees that are born from seeds that are never tasted. For example, a mango tree comes from a seed that is thrown out after the fruit is eaten. But a coconut cannot bear a tree after it is broken. Banana tree is propagated from the root.

    So is sacrifice in the scriptures ? If no then why did they do it in the past anyway? Surely if scriptures don't tell you to do something that vile then the act of sacrificing should not have proliferated to the extent that it has. Also, if it human decency and common sense that ultimately curtailed animal sacrifice then what is stopping human from creating other changes within the faith and making that the new norm? To me, if religion was not involved at all, then there would be no need for any sacrifice in the first place.

      @@gamerkid8411 Shut up kid. Hinduism is no copy religion, it is the true and original. Animals were sacrificed as per shastra only, it wasn't some free for all slaughterhouse. Refrain form forming opinions about Hinduism without reading scriptures, it is an esoteric religion understood by few.
      Ari Ramkilowan, yes animal sacrifice is sanctioned as per the scriptures. Yuddhisthira, Dashratha, Shri rAma, have all done the ashvamedha yajna. For Mr Lakhani to imply bhagavAn and these great kings as primitive displays his ignorance. My opinion, bhagavAn has every right to eat the whole world if he wants.
      Another thing to note is that animal sacrifice is banned in this kali yuga. So rest easy

    Sacrifice is bullshit, but what about killing animals for food. The main question should be that. How can you escape that kind of violence. This is also violence but you can't escape from it. Either you will kill plants or you will kill animals both are wrong. Hence there is no way out.

      @TharsyanJaderuby 3 роки тому

      You're right.
      The idea here is that we should do it as minimal as possible, because you need to survive and live. Yes animals and plants do have lives. Animals have emotions that are near to human nature, this is why we should not kill and eat them. This is a sensitivity thing, not a religious thing.

    In Manusamhita where its written "ahimsa paramo dharma", the next half of the line is "himsa dharmastathaiva cha". However the holy tantra scriptures say that slaughtering an animal in a worship is not himsa. In Vedas there is mention of animal sacrifice.Sri Rama and Sri Krishna also did eat meat, as has been mentioned by Swami Vivekanananda in 'Prachya o Pashchatya'.Tantra also accepts animal sacrifice.
    Most people like meat and in hinduism, whatever cannot be offered to God cant be eaten. So if all meat-eating hindus stick to eating only sacrificed meat, animal slaughtering will get drastically reduced as there will be no butcher's shop.
    Hinduism is a way of life and has never been dogmatic. But yes, abstaining from meat -eating is a great virtue and that is mentioned in the Manusamhita itself.

    • @Aditya-pw7hm
      @Aditya-pw7hm 5 років тому +1

      Nothing like that ("ahimsa paramo dharma") is written in the manusmriti and neither does any "next half" exist in any shastra. Most hindus are now degenerate who eat meat as per their wish.
      Haven't read the complete bhAgavatam or mbt, but as per gIta krishna himself condemns meat eating. As for shri rAma, he never ate meat. Do provide source to prove your claim regarding this

This is why cutting out one religion from the whole puzzle, becomes sectarian! And this is exactly where the Abrahamic mentalities are fixed: sectarianism!

    With all due respect Sir, Human sacrifice, was/is never considered ok in Islam, in fact any kind of sacrifice even if it is an apple is not ok at all. The Creator created all this universe with all its creations, giving back creation to the Creator achieves nothing, it is better to use it for its intended purpose (feed someone with it, or eat it to do good). The story of Ibrahim was an exception for a faith test, and it wasn't completed as you may know.

      Hinduism neither supports or opposes any path. It says whatever karma you do, you will get fruits of it. Give pain get pain.Give love get lov.Its law of karma. Even Supreme soul himself don't violate this law when come to this world. Actually good or bad deeds are bound to get results. One is chain of gold and another is of rusted iron. That's why you find contradictions. True happiness comes from seeking true self or ( moksha).
      Question: How to attain moksha?
      Ans: Doing good deeds without selfish motives even thoughts should be selfless.
      Question : Why only good deeds with selfless motive? Why not bad deeds after all you only said that good or bad both are actually same?
      Ans: Because when you detach yourself from your actions you are free but society is still going to be affected by your deeds. So sole purpose of doing good deeds when you are detached from your actions is to not to harm social and environmental fabric of this world.
      The sole aim of hinduism is to seeking eternal peace. Paths may differ.Unlike western religions We should be seekers not believers.
      Contradiction exist only for believers not for seekers.
      Purans are not like quran or bible which dictates what to do. It appears as if you are trying to see hindu scriptures through eyes bible and quran. Hindu scriptures were seen in society way more differently than other religion books. They were never dictators.
      Hindu scriptures are of different kinds.Purans and especially upnishads are accounts of experiences of great rishis and sagas who tried to explore eternal peace (moksha)through different methods.
      Puran are collection of hymns. From literature point of view they are most precious gifts.
      If stuck in problem want to find way out go for Gita. If want to explore who you really are and what is purpose of life go for upnishads. Don't believe me seek upnishads yourself.
      Be a seeker.
