Hari Om! Salutations! I am a regular listener of the Bhagavatam in Asianet.It is said that vegetarian food is always better . Then can you please explain the sloka of 6:4:9. With Pranams and Love Meena
Posted by Meena Madhavan on October 16, 2009
Dear Meena,
I guess you are referring to:
“annam´ caran?am acara
hy apadah? pada-carin?am
ahasta hasta-yuktanam´
dvi-padam´ ca catus?-padah?”
It means:
By nature’s arrangement, fruits and flowers are considered the food of insects and birds; grass and other legless living entities are meant to be the food of four-legged animals like cows and buffalo; animals that cannot use their front legs as hands are meant to be the food of animals like tigers, which have claws; and four-legged animals like deer and goats, as well as food grains, are meant to be the food of human beings.
We should realize that however one is tempted to eat meat, he/she should satisfy their desire by eating lower animals
but, at any cost they should refrain from eating Mother Cow!
