Does Animal sacrifice and meat consumption are allowed in Hinduism ?

 

If you also have the

same question that

animal sacrifice and

meat consumption

is acceptable by

Hinduism ? Then

you must read this

post ...

The answer is Big No

Still confused?

Yes some hindu scriptures

accepts Animal sacrifice or

meat consumption, but this

is Myths

Why Myths?

Because the all ref. who's

accept animal sacrifice

and meat consumption is

interpolation

Let's see what Manusmriti says

या वेदबाह्याः स्मृतयो याश्च काश्च कुदृष्टयः ।

सर्वास्ता निष्फलाः प्रेत्य तमोनिष्ठा हि ताः स्मृताः ||12. 95 ॥

translation :- Those 'revealed texts' that

are outside the Veda, as also all the

false theories, are useless, even when

carried to perfection; as they have been

declared to be founded on 'darkness

So Manusmriti said scriptures that

opposing vedas are false . And

Vedas never accepted any animal

sacrifice or meat consumption. so it

is clear that scriptures contain

animal sacrifice and meat

consumption are interpolation.

Now let's see what our scriptures says

about animal sacrifice and meat

consumption.

Manusmriti

नाकृत्वा प्राणिनां हिंसां मांसमुत्पद्यते क्व चित् ।

न च प्राणिवधः स्वर्ग्यस्तस्मान् मांसं विवर्जयेत् ॥ 5.48 ॥

Meat is never obtained without having

encompassed the killing of animals; and

the killing of animals does not lead to

heaven; hence everyone should avoid meat.

समुत्पत्तिं च मांसस्य वधबन्धौ च देहिनाम् ।

प्रसमीक्ष्य निवर्तेत सर्वमांसस्य भक्षणात् || 5.49 ||

Having duly pondered over the origin of

meat, and over the fettering and killing

of living beings, everyone should

abstain from the eating of all meat

यो बन्धनवधक्लेशान् प्राणिनां न चिकीर्षति ।

स सर्वस्य हितप्रेप्सुः सुखमत्यन्तमश्नुते ।। 5.46 ||

He, who does not seek to inflict

sufferings of capture and death on

living beings, is the well-wisher of

all and obtains perfect happiness.

योऽहिंसकानि भूतानि हिनस्त्यात्मसुखैच्छया ।

स जीवांश्च मृतश्चैव न क्व चित् सुखमेधते ।। 5.45 ||

He, who kills harmless creatures for

the sake of his own pleasure, never

attains happiness, living or head

न भक्षयति यो मांसं विधिं हित्वा पिशाचवत् ।

न लोके प्रियतां याति व्याधिभिश्च न पीड्यते ।। 5.50 ।।

He who does not eat meat like a fiend,

disregarding the proper method, becomes

popular among men and is not afflicted by

disease

अनुमन्ता विशसिता निहन्ता क्रयविक्रयी।

संस्कर्ता चोपहर्ता च खादकश्चेति घातकाः || ५१ ।।

He who approves, he who cuts, he who

kills, he who buys and sells, he who

cooks, he who serves and he who eats it

are 'slayers'

स्वमांसं परमांसेन यो वर्धयितुमिच्छति ।

अनभ्यर्च्य पितॄन् देवांस्ततोऽन्यो नास्त्यपुण्यकृत् ॥ 5.52 ।।

If a man, without worshipping the gods

and Pitſs, seeks to increase his own

flesh by the flesh of others, there is no

s inner greater than that person.

मां स भक्षयिताऽमुत्र यस्य मांसमिहाद् म्यहम् ।

एतत्मांसस्य मांसत्वं प्रवदन्ति मनीषिणः ॥ 5.55 ॥

Me he (mām-sa) will devour in the next

world, whose meat I eat in this'—this is

the 'meatness' (māmsatva) of the 'meat

(māmsa), as the wise ones declare.

Atharva-veda

let's our teeth eat

rise, beans, sesame but not anything which is

capable of being father & mother (We must

note that even animals are capable of being

father & mother).

(6.140.2 )

that noble souls are

those who protect all animals

& also prays that our behavior does not afflict

any animal.

( 19.48.5 )

Yajur-veda

Yajurved 1.1 - is a long verse

but the last

sentence of the verse says to

protect animals.

Yajurved 12.32 - says, May you

not kill any

creature by your body.

Bhagavad Mahapuran

हन्यन्ते पशवो यत्र निर्दयैरजितात्मभिः ।

मन्यमानैरिमं देहमजरामृत्यु नश्वरम् (10.10.9)

Unable to control their senses, rascals who are falsely

proud of their riches or their birth in aristocratic families are

so cruel that to maintain their perishable bodies, which they

think will never grow old or die, they kill poor animals

without mercy. Sometimes they kill animals merely to enjoy

an excursion.

Markandey Puran

"Compassion

towards all Creatures", "directed towards

welfare of all creatures" are the qualities of

sinless men.

(15.43-45)

Mahabharata

says that

foolish meat eaters will not be able to enjoy the

pleasure of heaven because they will never

attain it.

(Anushasan Parv 114.15)

Bramhand Puran

says that it is

evil to cause injury to animals in Yajna. It is

Adharma (sin). No violence should be in

involved in Yajna.

(1.2.30.17-21)

Vishnu Puran

says a beautiful thing, it says, "Those who do

violence against others, they do it against Lord

Vişnu as he is present in all beings."

(3.8.10)

Bhagavad-gita

There are many references is clearly says

Ahimsa (Non violance) is our Dharm. but

due to space I have given only Two

References.

देवद्विजगुरुप्राज्ञपूजनं शौचमार्जवम् ।

ब्रह्मचर्यमहिंसा च शारीरं तप उच्यते

Austerity of the body consists in worship of the

Supreme Lord, the brāhmaṇas, the spiritual master,

and superiors like the father and mother, and in

cleanliness, simplicity, celibacy and nonviolence.

(17.14)

अहिंसा सत्यमक्रोधस्त्याग: शान्तिरपैशुनम् |

दया भूतेष्वलोलुप्त्वं मार्दवं ह्रीरचापलम्

Non-violence, truthfulness, absence of anger,

renunciation, control of the internal organ, absence of

vilification, kindness to creatures, non-covetousness,

gentleness, modesty, freedom from restlessness;

(16.2)

Bhagavad Mahapuran

ये त्वनेवंविदोऽसन्त: स्तब्धा: सदभिमानिनः ।

पशून् द्रुह्यन्ति विश्रब्धा: प्रेत्य खादन्ति ते च तान्

Those sinful persons who are ignorant of actual religious

principles, yet consider themselves to be completely pious,

without compunction commit violence against innocent

animals who are fully trusting in them. In their next lives, such

sinful persons will be eaten by the same creatures they have

killed in this world.

(11.5.14)

Mahabharata

सुरामत्स्या मधुमांसमासवं कृसरौदनम्।

धूर्तेः प्रवर्तितं होतन्नैतद् वेदेषु कल्पितम्।।

wine, fish, animal flesh, biracial

Sacrifice etc. was initiated into the Yagya by the rascals; Vedas

There is no such legislation in this. Well, Medha's

any rational urge to make violent connotations

should

not. sacrificial process

It is proper to keep it free from this stigma.

(Shanti parv 265.9)

Mahabharata

"He who treats animals for sacrifice,

who sells them, who buys them, who kills them,

who serves their food and who makes them his food,

All are equally sinners"

(Anushashan parv 115.45)

Bhagavad Mahapuran

यद् घ्राणभक्षो विहित: सुराया-

स्तथा पशोरालभनं न हिंसा ।

In Vedic sacrifice (Yagya) ,their is no need to

sacrifice animals, it is only allow to use animals

for special vedic sacrificing work but should not

use animals as sacrificing purpose.

(11.5.13)

So, it is proved that Hinduism

does not accept animal

sacrifice and meat

consumption.

I have given sufficient

references from

different-different religious text

of hinduism. I can't give you

the all references due to time

issue.
