   Eating MEAT as PER HINDU VEDAS / MAHABHARATA   
   21 February 2010

   HINDU SCRIPTURES ALLOW NON-VEGETARIAN FOODSome Hindus think that it is   
   against their religion to have non-vegetarian food But the fact is that   
   the Hindu scriptures permit a person to have meat The scripture mentions   
   sages and saints having meat. Hindu scriptures clearly mention that   
   there is nothing wrong in having meat.It is mentioned in Manu Smruti,   
   the law book of Hindus!   
      
   In chapter 5 verse 30 “The eater who eats the flesh of those to be eaten   
   does nothing bad! even if he does it day after day; for God himself   
   created some to be eaten and some to be eater”Again next verse of Manu   
   Smruti that is; chapter 5 verse 31 says “Eating meat is right for the   
   sacrifice, this is traditionally known as a rule of the gods”Further in   
   Manu Smruti chapter 5 verse 39 and 40 says “God himself created   
   sacrificial animals for sacrifice… therefore killing in a sacrifice is   
   not killing.”Manu Smruti even narrates the supremacy of killing animals   
   in sacrifice it is mentioned in chapter 5 verse 42 “A twice born (a   
   Brahmin) who knows the true meaning of Vedas and injures sacrificial   
   animals for CORRECT PURPOSES cause both himself and the animal to go to   
   the highest level of existence”.   
      
   Among the Hindu scriptures Vedas are considered as most ancient and most   
   sacred. We find mentioning of non-vegetarian food in Vedas too it is   
   mentioned in Rig-Veda book 10 Hymn 27 verse 2 “Then will I, when I lead   
   my friends to battle against the radiant persons of godless, prepare for   
   thee at home a vigorous bullock, and pour for thee the fifteen fold   
   strong juices”Again in RigVeda book 10 Hymn 28 verse 3 it says “0 Indra,   
   Bulls they dress for thee, and of these (meat) thou eatest when   
   Maghavan, with food thou art invited”. In Rig veda Book 10 Hymn 86 verse   
   13 says “indra will eat thy bulls, thy dear oblation that effecteth   
   much. Supreme is Indra over all”These verses indicates that Indra, a god   
   of vedic age, used to eat meat.Also another god of vedic age, Agni, is   
   referred to as “flesh-eater’ in vedas.
