Some think that 'saival' means vegetarian. It is not so. saivaism classified the days of week for vegetarian food according to the astrology to do their pujas and other things.

Vaishnavism and jainism spread among saivaist and they also insisted some other days for vegetarian intake during pujas slightly different from saivaite people made all saivaite of today following vegetarianism and Veer saivals were produced.

Anyway the root of saivaism is not vegetarianism so all saivaite followerers need not bother about the criticism of non- vegetarianism.
