Re: Question about Meat, Alcohol, and Sex
It is quite disgusting to go through this thread and see the amount of false and fake knowledge that is being spread and exaggerated generalization which is being done. Every other moron is coming with a stupid link of a obsolete ritual to convince others that his perverted and licentious fantasy is common phenomenon in india.
I will like to talk about , Alcohol,drug, sex once again, in context of Indian society and veda dharm.
Alcohol and meat - Veda dharm which is shruti and apaurusheya has no mention of any ritual which involves Alcohol. It is definitely tantric texts and perverted tantrics who use alcohal in their rituals. 90% Hindus in India wouldn't even have ever heard about any ritual involving alcohol. I am not saying alcohol is not consumed in Indian society, but that is by those who wish to do it, it has no sanction of vedas. Now like a puppet of westerners don't say Soma drink was alcohol, soma was a energy drink (fools no body drinks alcohol before going on war with asuras, so soma is not equal to alcohol. That's all). As far as meat is concerned vedas dont preach for or against meat eating, but other texts do, well meat is considered tamsic food, so if one wants to live brahmanical life style he should avoid it, though it is not prohibited for others. But you will have to pay the consequences of killing the animals, that is sure. At the same time meat being used in dharmic rituals is only confined till few sects.
Drugs - Amazing to see few people even brought drugs in Hindu society. Well first of all Indian people don't have enough money to indulge in drugs, second drugs is only limited to selected elite class and their too it's not common. Many efforts were made by to infuse drugs in Indian society, but all of them failed.
Sex - Again sex is a part of one's grihsta jeevan, one can have wild sex with one's husband/wife all day long, there is no prohibition on that, but there is no mention of sex in dharmic rituals in vedas (I don't care about man-made scriptures). Nor is there mention of any sex outside marriage, people who support it are monsters. They have lost their minds.
Though I have a great respect for real westerners adopting Sanatan dharm like eastern mind ji, yajvan ji, nayasurya ji, I will once again say, I don't have one bit of respect for Indians who leave India , go to west, and then start spreading things what they like. It is very clear that false information is coming from Indians who are living in west, these westernised Indians see dharm as objects of their own desires. I will once again say, scriptures can't be understood by reading a few quotes, you need experience, see life , move in differnt parts of India and then understand them.
As for BUDDHA- Buddha himself was a meat eater, now who has spread that buddha was not a meat eater ? He died by eating stale pork. It is communist rascals who are coming up with cooked up stories to preach Hindus that Buddhism and janism brought concept of vegetarianism In india. Also Buddha was no avataar of Visnu,If vaishnava purans are to be taken authentic then even adi shankara too is to be taken as a demon. It was only to assimilate buddhists that scriptures were interpolated to prove buddha was a avataar, but there is no truth about that. Even buddhists and jains have tried to assimilate Hindu deities in their scriptures.

When the light has risen, there is no day, no night, neither existence nor non-existence; Siva alone is there. That is the eternal, the adorable light of Savitri, - and the ancient wisdom proceeded thence (Svetasvatara Upanishad IV-18). :)
