Cow Killer Brahmins- Real Face of Brahmnisium

The widely accepted belief in this world is that the Brahmins have been Vegetarians. But, now, a few researches say that Brahmins were beef eaters in ancient times. Hindu organizations condemn it saying that it’s not true. Well, What if Ancient Brahmins Were Perfect Beef Eaters? Why they ate and why they shunned? A spotlight on that would unleash many facts that speak about our background. Many know that it’s accepted for Brahmins in Bengal and Orissa to eat fish, calling it ‘Jala Pushpam’.

History clearly reveals that Brahmins were Non Vegetarians and perfect beef eaters. The respective animal sacrifice followed by Aswamedha and Gomedha Yagas is not merely for ‘bali’ sake but also for naivedyam (offering to divine power) and prasadam (holy food). References of such commands are replete in Brahmin scriptures like Manusmriti, Vedas, Upanishads, Brahmins, Grihsutras, Dharmasutras and others.

I here by give you some Quotes from the Loose Character Brahmin Holy Books..

Manusmriti (Chapter 5 / Verse 30) says, “It is not sinful to eat meat of eatable animals, for Brahma has created both the eaters and the eatables.”

Manusmriti (5 / 35) states: When a man who is properly engaged in a ritual does not eat meat, after his death he will become a sacrificial animal during twenty-one rebirths.

Maharishi Yagyavalkya says in Shatpath Brahmin (3/1/2/21) that, “I eat beef because it is very soft and delicious.”  

Apastamb Grihsutram (1/3/10) says, “The cow should be slaughtered on the arrival of a guest, on the occasion of ‘Shraddha’ of ancestors and on the occasion of a marriage.”  

Rigveda (10/85/13) declares, “On the occasion of a girl’s marriage oxen and cows are slaughtered.”  

Rigveda (6/17/1) states that “Indra used to eat the meat of cow, calf, horse and buffalo.” 

Vashistha Dharmasutra (11/34) writes, “If a Brahmin refuses to eat the meat offered to him on the occasion of ‘Shraddha’ or worship, he goes to hell.”

Swami Vivekanand said thus: “You will be surprised to know that according to ancient Hindu rites and rituals, a man cannot be a good Hindu who does not eat beef”. (The Complete Works of Swami Vivekanand, vol.3, p. 536).

Mukandilal writes in his book ‘Cow Slaughter – Horns of a Dilemma’, page 18: “In ancient India, cow-slaughter was considered auspicious on the occasions of some ceremonies. Bride and groom used to sit on the hide of a red ox in front of the ‘Vedi’ (alter).”

A renowned scholar of scriptures Dr. Pandurang Vaman Kane says, “Bajsancyi Samhita sanctifies beef-eating because of its purity”. (Dharmashastra Vichar Marathi, page 180)

Adi Shankaracharya’ commentary on Brihdaranyakopanishad 6/4/18 says : ‘Odan’ (rice) mixed with meat is called ‘Mansodan’. On being asked whose meat it should be, he answers ‘Uksha’. ‘Uksha’ is used for an ox, which is capable to produce semen.

The book ‘The History and Culture of the Indian People’, published by Bhartiya Vidya Bhawan, Bombay and edited by renowned historian R.C.Majumdar (Vol.2, page 578) says: “this is said in the Mahabharat that King Rantidev used to kill two thousand other animals in addition to two thousand cows daily in order to give their meat in charity”.

The Atharva Veda bans only the eating of the raw flesh and the human flesh: 

"Those who eat flesh uncooked, and those who eat the bleeding flesh of men,
Feeders on babes unborn, long-haired, far from this place we banish these." 
— Atharva Veda (8.6.23)

In Magha days are oxen slain, in Arjuris they wed the bride. — Rig Veda (10.85.13) 

What part of the Steed's flesh the fly hath eaten, or is left sticking to the post or hatchet, Or to the slayer's hands and nails adhereth,—among the Gods, too, may all this be with thee.

Food undigested steaming from his belly, and any odour of raw flesh remaining,
This let the immolators set in order and dress the sacrifice with perfect cooking.
— Dirghatamas, Rig Veda (10.162.10)  

They who observing that the Horse is ready call out and say, the smell is good; remove it;
And, craving meat, await the distribution,—may their approving help promote labour.
The trial-fork of the flesh-cooking caldron, the vessels out of which the broth is sprinkled,The warming-pots, the covers of the dishes, hooks, carving-boards,—all these attend the Charger.

— Dirghatamas, Rig Veda (10.162.12-13)

BEEF-EATING was not peculiar to the people of the Western countries alone, but was popular with the Vedic Indians also. The food items of the Vedic Indian can be gathered from the list of sacrificial victims because what man ate he usually presented to his gods.[1] Practically all the important ceremonies and sacrifices were attended with slaughter of bulls and cows. The Gomedha and Asvamedha sacrifices are important in this respect. The Sulagava sacrifice, in which the bull, as the name implies, seems to have been pierced with a spike or lance to appease Rudra, is described in detail in the grhyasutras.

Also, comments of some great scholars of Hinduism are also worth noting:

Hinduism’s greatest propagator Swami Vivekanand said thus:“You will be surprised to know that according to ancient Hindu rites and rituals, a man cannot be a good Hindu who does not eat beef”.(The Complete Works of Swami Vivekanand, vol.3, p. 536).

Mukandilal writes in his book ‘Cow Slaughter – Horns of a Dilemma’, page 18:“In ancient India, cow-slaughter was considered auspicious on the occasions of some ceremonies. Bride and groom used to sit on the hide of a red ox in front of the ‘Vedi’(alter).”

A renowned scholar of scriptures Dr. Pandurang Vaman Kane says,“Bajsancyi Samhita sanctifies beef-eating because of its purity”.(Dharmashastra Vichar Marathi, page 180).

 Adi Shankaracharya’ commentary on Brihdaranyakopanishad 6/4/18 says :‘Odan’(rice) mixed with meat is called ‘Mansodan’. On being asked whose meat it should be, he answers ‘Uksha’.‘Uksha’ is used for an ox, which is capable to produce semen.

    A quote from a former Brahmin President of India.

Sarvepalli Radhakrishna, in his ‘Religion and Society’ said,“In ancient times meat was used by the Brahmins also. The old Vedic religion included the sacrifices of five kinds of animals: goats, sheep, cows, bulls and horses.
