Udupi, Oct 15: Congress leader and Udupi district-in-charge minister Pramod Madhwaraj has taunted the hardcore vegetarians in India by reminding them that most worshipped religious figures of Indian Hindus were non-vegetarians.

Speaking after inaugurating the Maharishi Valmiki Jayanti celebrations organised by the Udupi district administration here on Saturday, he said that Sri Rama and Sri Krishna had consumed meat. Valiki, the one who wrote Ramayana was also a non-vegetarian, he added.

Mr Madhwaraj, who is also the minister for fisheries, sports and youth affairs in Karnataka, said that those who engaged in a serious debate over food habits of the people in the country should not ignore these facts.

There are a significant number of passages in Valmiki Ramayana where the principal characters used meat in their religious rites and daily diet, he said.

Taking a dig at casteism, Mr Madhwaraj, who belongs to Mogaveera community, said that those who consider themselves supreme and look down upon other castes do not possess the knowledge of sacred scriptures.

Dear YOGESH...

Please carefully read the below verse from BG and ponder on it. Also REFLECT on y BG mentioned this here.
Bhagavad Gita 7:20
Those whose INTELLIGENCE has been stolen by MATERIAL DESIRES surrender onto Demigods (Besides TRUE GOD) and follow the particular rules and regulations of WORSHIP according to their own natures...

I think U should not worship the idols and statues instead worship the TRUE GOD who is formless (NA TASYA PRATIMA ASTI). This is the TRUTH and U should follow the BG on this too...

Less intelligent people always want to imitate God and there activities without knowing the proper fact and reason behind the activities.
Like lord Shiva once consumed POISON. Can any ordinary human do this ,No. So we should not try to imitate God. But We should always follow the instructions given by them. God has given enough instructions through his word in BHAGAVAD Gita and other scripture. Where he instructed to offer him only four type of eatable things i.e. Leaf, Flower, Fruit and water and consume it. This is why, we should always try to follow God's instructions carefully rather than imitating his activity.

Sita kidnapped When laxman was busy in hunting deer for their lunch. This story clearly tells about their love for meat.

Mangaluru, Aug 7: A woman suffered critical injuries after a speeding car knocked down her scooter and then ran over her at Kadri Kambla Junction in the city today.

The woman identified as Vanishri Bhat (22) a resident of Kedila from Puttur. 

A CCTV footage of the accident, which went viral on social media, shows the car hitting the scooter, pushing the woman on road for a couple of meters before climbing over her.

The car stopped when she was under it. A few people including a policeman lifted the car from the front and rescued the woman. 

She was immediately taken to a private hospital in Mangaluru City MLA U T Khader’s car which was passing through that way. 

She has suffered critical injuries on her head, ribs, hands and legs, sources said. She is reportedly responding to treatment. 

It may be recalled that in December last year a lorry-auto accident at the same spot claimed life of a 56-year-old teacher while the auto driver miraculously survived. Following the accident, speed breakers were installed at the junction.
