Dear SaRMA61,

YOUR POST #28:

It is an undeniable fact that in ancient days brahmins did eat meat and even beef; in fact some of the Dharma Sastras stipulate particular type of meat for propitiating the pitrs at Sraaddha and the meat of rhinosceros is considered the best! But later law givers struck down these practices probably when the society and particularly the brahmins felt the need to follow the example set by the Jain ascetics, in order to obtain the approval of other castes Why is it that you are not prepared to credit brahmins of that time with the knowledge that non-veg food encourages tamasic and rajasic behavior while you appear to be readily granting that knowledge to jains of that time. Brahmins have to be discredited with whatever they did and did not do. We understand from which stable you are coming.

and so this must be a later practice in India. In any case if someone likes to eat eggs let him do so. Ultimately the brAhmanatva is to be decided by how honest and true to God a person is, not by the food he eats. Brahminhood is decided by behavior. Behavior is decided by what is eaten. Simple logical deduction would demand that you should be careful as to what you put in in order to get good output. Garabage in-garbage out.

Rajasic, Tamasic etc., gradations of food are ideas, which are useful only to fool people, and our Swamijis and Gurujis regularly make use of such blah blah, but some of them may be relishing the very same prohibited items, who knows

Fools need not bother about all this because they are happy in their own world of foolishness. So they need no input whatsoever about rajasic and tamasic behavior.They need not listen any blah blah either- whether it comes from swamijis or from the pulpit in a church.
