Lots of things happened
these days kindling some reactions in my mind. The beef controversy was the
worst thing of all that hurt me deeply and made me feel sick that I am
surrounded by a society that has no regard for life - rather any life - be it
the life of a cow or any other animal. Being at the top of the evolutionary
ladder man has a greater responsibility towards all living and non- living
things around him. We are not cave people who were killing other living things
for survival or for food. We have come a long way as thinking beings and it is
utterly barbaric to consider other living things as food for us.
Most disgusting is the
comment by Kamal Hasan that he would rather not bother about life of animals
when it comes to feeding humans. He even declared that he does not eat any
animal that is bigger in size. In an irony of sorts such a person was requested
by Dalai Lama to propagate Ahimsa through his movies and Kamal agreed
to it! Its sends my head veering that barely a couple of days after he
mouthed his noxious support for beef and non vegetarianism, Kamal is expressing
his faith in Ahimsa to Dalai Lama. What is happening to Kamal? Or is there
anything happening to Kamal?
Well, the bottom line is
that I very much wish to surge from my slumber to do something through my blog
to discourage beef eating and even non-vegetarianism. I have a plan to write
the karmic effects of eating beef or meat. But before I could do that, I think
I can just start posting articles that discourage meat and beef eating. Readers
are welcome to send such articles and I will post them.
The other thought that is
disturbing my mind at the moment is the BJP debacle in Bihar that comes with
the start of the 10 year long Moon dasa of India. Are we heading for a troubled
period of sickular forces getting polarized and strengthened? Isn't my old
article on Advani
vs Modi more relevant now than ever before that the current trends are
hurting Sanatan Dharma as seen in callous support for beef eating? The
unjustifiable accusation on tolerance of Hindus is another matter that must be
challenged. I think we bloggers and readers must become active once again on
these issues. Let me see what I can do. If not detailed articles, let me post
short ones or news items to highlight them.
