Description

Acharya Prashant explains that we should not blindly emulate the time-bound actions of avatars like Shri Krishna, such as their diet or clothing, but should instead focus on their timeless teachings. He points out that while many use stories of Shri Krishna to justify dairy consumption, they ignore the deeper, symbolic essence found in the Srimad Bhagwat Gita. He emphasizes that anything worthwhile, including a change in how we relate to animals, must have a deep spiritual foundation. He argues that the momentum of the past and a lack of courage often prevent people from speaking out against practices like animal sacrifice, even when they privately recognize them as hollow.
