Dear Raghy,

Many times when I travel in train Bread Omlet was served hot and I used to take it. Recently some of my relatives said that If I take egg/nonveg I can not get the benefit of amavasa tharpanam and other religious ceremanies done by me. Hence I want to know if it is correct I can avoid taking egg.

Sri. Ramanathan, Greetings.

I am the least qualified in this forum to make any suggestions about your query.

These are my opinons only. If you a doubt, even an iota of a doubt about your food habits in respect to its crossing your faith based belief, then you are the best person to decide. Do you want to perform the tharpanams and other karmas with a guilty feeling at the back of your mind; or do you want to feel guilty everytime you consume bread and omelette? That is your choice.

In the case of melette, I saw that omelette served in Sapthapathy express. I wouldn't bother with that. That was the kind of unhealthy egg I was talking about; so much antibiotics pumped in that bird! That omelette is not worth carrying any guilty feelings!

Kindly don't mistake me; it is not that I don't eat egg or emelrette... sometimes i do. Only the eggs are antibiotic free, from free range chicken, and produced in an organic fashion. Thay are certified and costs a lot more too. I am writing this information, because I don't want to paint a wrong picture about myself.

If I am following orthodox belief and all the rituals and karmas, I wouldn't eat eggs either. But I am not orthodox.

Cheers!
