Leave alone the punishment; what about our conscience? Taking non-vegetarian food will seriously hamper our energy level. One may argue that plants also have life. Yes, but the plants life will not end if the fruits and vegetable are plucked. What about rice and wheat? Their life span is short and if we are not going to harvest, their produce will go waste. God has a plan for all of us, right from a plant to a human being.

thank you very much for your reply sir. I have another doubt that so many people wish to eat non veg by killing those birds and animals. May i know what will be the punishment for those who are willingly having those foods? waiting for your precious words on this sir.

Scriptures say that humans in this birth are born as grass, insects, animals, etc. This is a very pertinent point. One gets human birth after several transmigration in various lower forms. Liberation is possible only in human birth, as humans alone have both conscious and subconscious mind. Having born as humans, it should be our endeavor to live a compassionate life. We should not miss this birth to attain liberation.

Guruji, I am Yathish from Andhra Pradesh. I have a doubt regarding the janma(rebirth). I want to know that if a human dies, does he reborn like a human or animal or bird?

As per our śāstra-s, the eldest son is not supposed to do any funeral rites for others as long his parents are alive. This is to be strictly followed. There are various references in śāstra-s on this. As long as rituals are performed by those who were dear to the departed soul, such rituals will be 'accepted' by the soul. There is no remedial measure needed for this point. At this point of time, it would be better not to disturb the peace prevailing in the family, which is a hard commodity to get today. Your thinking and logic on this count is absolutely correct.

Dear Sir,I have a query. recently my mother passed away and we have conducted the rituals as advised. As per our shastras, the eldest son only can be the kartha for any rituals. My elder brother had already done karma for my fathers Aunt, even when both my parents were alive. Here again he has done the rituals for my mother.As per the shastras, the eldest son is not supposed to conduct any rituals for any one, while the parents are alive. But I didn't want to interfere as this may disturb the family relationship.kindly advise, if the rituals conducted will be accepted by the soul, or should any remedial rituals has to be done. If so, I can organise for the same at my end.

My personal experience - Aditya Hrudaya is a great hymn and works unfailingly. Only thing you should be fated to to remember this at the time of crisis - again personal experience. I have done considerable research on certain mantras and the results are confusing - for instance, there are several curse removal mantras with different approaches for a single mantra (together with seemingly astute explanations) by various Guru Parampara, several deities placing a curse on specific mantra or mantras as a whole, what not. Being a practicing Hindu in Kaliyuga seems to be an onerous task indeed. It seems that we need to spend considerable amount of time discerning the right way of doing things than the actual practice. Hymns like Aditya Hrudaya, thankfully, still work without all that paraphernalia.
