Pt. Shri. Vedavyasacharya
Food / Eating
There is a pramāṇa (scriptural statement):
“Niṣiddha bhakṣaṇaṁ kṛtvā, mohāt sūkaratāṁ vrajet.”
Meaning:
If a person, out of ignorance or delusion, consumes prohibited food,
Such a person is said to be born as a pig in the next life.
“Nishiddha” means food that is forbidden by scriptures
These are generally known and understood in one’s tradition
Consuming such food leads to spiritual impurity and negative consequences
Do not consume prohibited foods under any circumstances
Always prefer sattvic (pure and simple) food
Food should support purity of mind and spiritual growth
