Beef Festival in Kerala; We can degrade further!

So much ruckus about Beef Ban!

A student mob in Kerala has even conducted Beef Festival in protest of this issue. During medieval period, in order to break Hindu conscience, Muslim invaders used to butcher a cow in Hindu temples before destroying the structures and desecrating the idols. I see no difference. Well,We can even degrade further.

A chine of events starting from the cow theft of Kartyaveerarjuna from sage Jamadagni's ashram led to the extermination of entire Kshatriya clan;only a few righteous kings were left unharmed on mother earth at the hands of Lord Parasurama in Tretayuga.

A similar cow theft at sage Vasista's ashram by one of the Asta Vasus led to the birth of Bhishma, who saved and nurtured the Kuru clan which in turn resulted in the epic battle Kurukshetra in which most of the evil forces had been swept off the face of mother earth in Dwaparayuga.

The trigger point behind the emergence of Brahmarshi Viswamitra is also a cow theft. His entire army was decimated at the hands of the legendary Kamadhenu.

The rumor of cow's fat(and pig's also) being used in the cartridges of Royal-enfield rifles is the trigger point for first Indian National Revolution(1857) which instilled a sense of urgency to drive away foreign forces from our country. So much blood had been spilled.

Cow in India, seems like a pretty controversial animal.

Dear mother cow, this time also, an issue has been raked up because of you. I hope it would serve the purpose well and exterminate some evil from this sacred land.

Cow is considered as a mother and as a symbol of prosperity in this land. we are forever indebted to a creature which takes nothing of value form us but provides for our sustenance at every stage of our life. Butchering such an animal just for the sake of our taste buds is a gross ingratitude and amounts to be a conspicuous deviation from Dharma. Dharma is something which benefits all. Cow protection and worship is the Dharma of our culture. A culture/race which deviates from its Dharma sets forth on a course of self destruction.

One might wonder 'why only cow?". Well, the actual idea might be the achievement of the ideal "Ahimso paramo dharmaha" in both word, deed and thought. Since a Gestalt Shift is not possible and a good start has to be made towards that direction, cow might have become a natural choice due to its utility value. The ultimate goal is to extend the scope of this ideal on a universal scale.

Dear Amruta Putras lets grow up. If hunger is a cause of eating, it is the conscience to exercise a choice between cause and effect that makes us different from the rest of the creation. Lets exercise our choice and hold up the Dharma of our land.
