Jai Sriman Narayana!

Srimath BhAgavatham, the most respected SATVIK Purana
condemns animal sacrifices in Yagnas regardless of the
yuga. Several Manvanthras ago, Sri Narda maharshi
condemned PrAchina Bahrshi and Priyavratha for
pereforming animal sacrifices. Sri Narada muni
pointed out that the sacrificed animals although
immediately elevated to slightly higher (Manava)
janma, the animals are waiting for the death of the
yajamana (the performer), and the yajamana would get
the bad karma for the sacrifices. Narada advised him
to giveup animal sacrifices and join the path of
devotion to Lord Sriman Narayana. 

The purAnas are like study guides to vedAs, and the
sathvik purAnas are all against animal sacrifices.
They all proclaim that Ahimsa is supreme dharma.

With all glories to Lord Sri Venkateswara, I remain,

Sincerely,
Narender Reddy
