The scriptures of the Hindus, the Vedas, four in number, are the highest truths revealed to the seers.
The refrain of the Vedas is self-realization.
The core of the Vedas do not advocate Idol worship but a Higher Reality, Brahman , whose attributes are Being, Consciousness and Bliss-Sat, Chit and Ananda.
However idol worship is allowed to concentrate the mind.
The Four Vedas are.
In this connection I received a mail as follows.
'I saw this post in FB. Though I do agree that lynching someone for suspecting eating of beef is quire unacceptable. But the quotes in the post, seems to take a distorted view of our scriptures. Would you pl enlighten on this topic ?'
The mail detailed quotes from the Mahabharata and the Upanishads that people, even rishis wee eating beef ding the Sanatana dhama period.
My view is that it looks that people were eating meat during the Vedic period.
I have provided quotes which indicate meat-eating and those that prohibit it.
The explanations trying to explain away beef eating seems to me laboured and lack conviction.
