The Jain Guy

@dilthi_gujarati @aegonforking @SPchittoor @PoliceChittoor I agree that it's prohibited even in Hinduism to kill and eat animals. But unfortunately animal sacrifice has somehow still become common among certain groups of Hindus in the name of religion, and a large part of the Hindu population does consume meat.

*Garuda Purana is one of the 18 Mahāpurāṇas and explicitly describes the karmic consequences of killing or eating animals, especially in its sections on Preta Kanda (the after-death journey of the soul).* 🕉️ *Garuda Purana on Killing and Eating Animals* ⚖️ *1. Consequences of Animal Killing* Garuda Purana, Preta Kanda 5.49–52 > “He who kills living beings for pleasure, or for food, or out of greed, will himself be born in forms that suffer the same pain again and again.” 📘 *The killer reincarnates in painful lower births — as the same animals he killed.* --- Garuda Purana 2.22.25–26 > “The sinner who kills animals goes to the Raurava hell, where he is torn by beasts and experiences the same suffering he inflicted on others.” 📘 *Raurava Naraka is specifically for those who cause pain to innocent creatures.* --- Garuda Purana, Chapter 10 > “Those who delight in killing animals are thrown into Andhakūpa, the dark pit, where birds and beasts tear their flesh endlessly.” 📘 Describes a vivid karmic punishment mirroring the cruelty inflicted. --- 🍖 *2. Punishment for Meat Eaters* --- Garuda Purana 2.22.34–36 > “Those who eat the flesh of animals are born again and again in the wombs of those very animals, to be killed and eaten in turn.” 📘 *Rebirth cycle continues until they learn compassion.* --- Garuda Purana, Preta Kanda 7.15–18 > “One who partakes of meat, having seen the pain of the killed, incurs sin equal to that of the killer.” 📘 Even passive participation — buying, serving, or eating meat — is sinful. --- Garuda Purana, Dharma Kanda > “The eater of flesh, the killer, the cook, the seller, and he who consents — all five are equal sharers in the sin.” 📘 Echoes Manusmriti 5.45 — complete moral accountability. 🌿 *3. Advice to Avoid Meat* --- Garuda Purana 2.22.37 > “He who desires happiness, health, and liberation should avoid meat, intoxicants, and all acts of cruelty.” 📘 *Ahimsa is declared essential for spiritual purity.* --- Garuda Purana, Dharma Kanda 15.10 > “Non-violence, truth, purity, compassion, and charity — these five lead to heaven; violence and killing lead to darkness and hell.” 📘 Clear moral law rooted in Dharma. 🔥 *4. The Path of Redemption* --- Garuda Purana 7.19–22 > “By compassion to all beings, by feeding the hungry, and by giving shelter to animals, one destroys the sins of former lives.” 📘 Shows that compassion (daya) and service to animals can purify past karma. 🧭 *Summary* 👹 *Killing Animals* = *Rebirth in painful lower forms; Raurava Naraka* (Garuda Purana 5.49–52, 2.22.25) --- 👹 *Eating Meat* = *Born again in same animal species; suffering* (Garuda Purana 2.22.34–36) --- 👹 *Supporting Slaughter* (cook/seller/buyer) = *Equal share in sin* (Garuda Purana Dharma Kanda) --- *Practicing Ahimsa* = *Attains happiness, purity, liberation* (Garuda Purana 2.22.37, 7.19)

Kuppam Gangamma Jatara plans massive animal slaughter. This is a cognizable offence under AP Act 1950. Police must act immediately to prevent this crime! @SPchittoor @PoliceChittoor #StopAnimalSacrifice #StopKillingAnimals thehindu.com/news/national/…

@aegonforking @dilthi_gujarati @SPchittoor @PoliceChittoor Depends on which religion it is. In Jainism it's forbidden to harm even an ant!

@dilthi_gujarati @SPchittoor @PoliceChittoor Religions have done more cruel than good.

I'm proud of the fact that my religion Jainism preaches compassion and love for the smallest of creatures, even those that we cannot see with naked eyes. We don't even cause harm to any animals in day-to-day life, let alone doing it like this at a place of worship!

भीषण गर्मी मे हम बिना AC के नही रह पा रहे। ऐसी गर्मी मे भीष्म तप करना केवल रस त्याग नही,स्वसत्व को सिद्धशिला की ओर उर्ध्व करना है। श्री विराग मुनि के आज 114 उपवास है,साथ मे विहार,स्वयं सभी के लिए गोचरी लाना निश्चित ही हमारी सोच के सभी मापदंडो को नकार देता है अनंत अनुमोदना करते है

Highlights of Rushabbhai's Varshitap: 1. Started varshitap with atthai, ended with athhai 2.Masakshaman in ongoing varshitap. 3. Only Ekasana in varshitaps. 4. Wheat tyag (nothing made up of wheat) 5. Lift tyaag. (Rushabh bhai office is on 44th floor!) Tapasvi Rushabbhai (Canada)

अक्षय तृतीया के पावन अवसर पर मुझे श्री अजितनाथ भगवान श्वेतांबर जैन मंदिर में प्रार्थना करने का सौभाग्य प्राप्त हुआ। अहिंसा, करुणा, आत्मसंयम और सादगी जैसे जैन धर्म के शाश्वत मूल्य हमें उद्देश्यपूर्ण, विनम्र और जिम्मेदार जीवन जीने की प्रेरणा देते हैं। तारंगा पहाड़ियों में वनीकरण के कार्य से जुड़ना भी हमारे लिए अत्यंत संतोष का विषय है। यह प्रकृति के संरक्षण और समस्त जीवों के प्रति श्रद्धा तथा संवेदनशीलता का एक विनम्र प्रयास है। इस पावन अवसर पर मैं सभी के लिए शांति, समृद्धि, सद्भाव और नई आशा की कामना करता हूँ।

Langar by Sikhs is often appreciated while public doesn't know about jains doing humanity acts.. The jain community has been giving free food to the needy and workers. Note: It is not a new thing, Jains have always been doing this, learnt from the parents grandparents..

यह कोई मामूली संत नहीं हैं, ये गिरनार तीर्थ रक्षक, भीष्म तपस्वी आचार्य श्री हेमवल्लभ महाराज साहेब हैं। जिन्होंने आजीवन आयंबिल तप का संकल्प लिया है और 10,000 से अधिक हो भी गए है, यह किसी चमत्कार से कम नहीं है। ऐसी कठिन तपस्या आज तक कभी देखने को नहीं मिली। कभी गिरनार जी जाने का अवसर मिले, तो इनके दर्शन अवश्य करें 🙏🏻

ये मनमोहक प्रतिमा तीनों लोक के नाथ, श्री शंखेश्वर पार्श्वनाथ भगवान की है, जो तीनों लोकों में पूजी गई हैं। जय जय श्री पार्श्वनाथ 🙏🏻

To all Jains and Non-Jains😇🙏 This is Mahivara Janma Kalyanaka, not Mahavir Jayanti. There are 5 types of Kalyanaka for our 24 Tirthankaras Prabhu (God). The word Jayanti is not appropriate to be used for Jain God because he has attained Nirvana where he is free from the cycle of birth and death. It is sad that many Jains also do not know this difference. Please correct it.😇🙏

@Deeshasatra It's Mahavir Janma Kalyanak 🙏 x.com/i/status/20389…

Happy Mahavir Jayanti to everyone 🙏🙏🙏. Satama rehjo to everyone fasting🙏🙏🙏
