Hindu's are forbidden from consuming meat,especially that of cows.The provisions can be traced to several Hindu text, notably the Vedas, Ramayan and Bhagavad Gita. But in the passage of time people forgot their religious duty and started consuming meat. The priest are individuals who are supposed to uphold the religion therefore they cannot flout religious provisions, they have to be role models. All Dharmic base religions like Buddhism and Sikhism are encouraged to pursue vegetarianism as well!
@MrTwista8819 This differs according to tradition, sect, community and etc. Meat is even compulsory in some hindu sects and contexts such as Shaktism and Vamachara Tantra. The shastras permit meat consuption if it meets certain criteria, such as the animal being slaughtered in a Jhatka procedure, or so, trying do decrease the suffering of the being. Balinese traditions follows this rules, as some communities in India and Nepal. Hinduism is too complex to be reduced to "dos" and "don'ts"!
I have to disagree with you on that. Our scriptures do not condone the consumption of flesh,intoxication,etc. Shaktism is a branch that worships the divine in the form of the goddess and mother, and she would never tolerate her children consuming flesh, intoxication,etc, let alone offer to her. Vamachara tantra is derived from buddhism, thus it has nothing to do we our manner of worship. We follow Dakshin Marg tantra where abiding by the scriptures and devotional worship is required.
Goddess is the creator and protector of all. Also those manner of worship described is part of the animistic traditions prevalent in parts of India, Nepal, Bali, etc. All text must be read according to scriptures and the Vedas, Gita and several scriptures forbid. Be blessed :-))
@henrikhankhagnell :who said hindus cant eat meat.ofcourse we can.its beef that is not encouraged althoguh there is no hard and fast rule.just that we can trace an epidemic among cown in india which compelled them to ban cow.
May God grant me if it's not against his will that next time i go back to Indonesia,I'll stay in Bali for a month or the maximum allowed tourist visa time
I love Hinduism in Indonesia, Long may it thrive and not succumb to the intolerant attitudes of others who can not offer anything as wonderful as Agama Hindu Dharma.
Cows are considered holy as they are seen as Kamadhenu - wish fulfilling cow from the heavens. Many scriptures have mentioned this.
