Well-said Tulasi, notwithstanding the fact that you did not read the thread before commenting, your suggestion was based on mutual respect for each sect, veg or non-veg. It is really all about choices, I am born in a non-veg family but am a veg by choice, yet cook non-veg for my family because my love for them overrides everything else. Each one to his own. you may eat vegetables, fish, meat, whatever, but do not look down on others who eat what you don't.

Lord Krishna, the supreme God of Hindu trinity, once remarked, if you eat meat ( read as non-veg) or no, he disliked the arrogance of vegetarians as if they were superior beings. Such a remarkable remark from a Hindu God and you have echoed the same sentiments of respect and tolerance for another group👏👏👏.

Bolded that is what I am talking about mutual respect for each other no matter what you eat.

A person even an irritating human like Amma is a vegetarian and she does not eat in a place where they make the veg food in same utensils they use to cook fish(in this case)

They understood her sentiments got food made at a neighbors. That much they understood then did they not also understand that she would be offended at the sight of a fully cooked fish even though they consider it as auspicious. (do they not have other auspicious things I wonder like dahi and sugar, haldi kumkum, diyas etc. why did they have to bring cooked fish when they sagarika's family educated as they are did they not understand that would offend Amma even though it was not meant for eating?

In all this what Lord Krishna said about "arrogance" of vegetarians ( I don't think the Supreme God Lord Krishna Thakurji ever said this about vegetarians. Did Ved Vyasa "write" it? check your facts. because you have not quoted what Lord Krishna said. "arrogance" of vegetarians is your own opinion. ) come in?

If someone is particular about vegetarianism it is their own principle. it is not arrogance. and I am sure Lord Krishna would appreciate it. not call it arrogance.

In the course of observing vegetarianism someone insists on certain things it is not arrogance. They follow a regimen and that is their personal preference.

P.S. Where did Lord Krishna "remark" about "vegetarians" being "arrogant"? In the Geetha?

Or did Lord Krishna "write" some other "book" where he remarked?

As I said earlier, I have the book with me and as and when I get time will locate the book (unfortunately, do not remember which particular book from my huge repertory) and give the exact sentence. You will not believe, how much more respect I had for my beloved Lord Krishna and the his spirit of tolerance and respect for all, will try to get the exact source soon😊

Hey, He did not say all vegetarians per se are arrogant or He did not advocate non-vegetarianism, He referred to the arrogance of those vegetarians who looked down on non-vegetarians while advocating respect for all and said that should not be the case. In short, he was endorsing a spirit of tolerance and respect for each other which is befitting his sublime philosophy!

Vibha, I think we should curtail this discussion here, 'cos I see it turning into a religious one.

Religion, politics, and sex are best discussed within the confines of ones own home, so we risk hurting no one 😊

Good point,

I have American friends kids, who recently turned Vegetarian and they are looking down at those who eat Meat, they make so much fuss over where and how food is cooked, it's going to be temporary face of vegetarianism but their behavior is very rude, I feel like giving them big lecture on the subject but just keep quiet, just waiting how many days their arrogance and vegetarianism lasts😆
