So what is Hindu kOsher/halAl/Grace?
It is simply our ATTITUDE towards foor-
if we consume food as prasAdam we are cleared of all pApams,
this is what we can conclude from BG chapter 3, verse 13.
ya-jn^a-shi-SHTA-shi-nah sa-nto
mu-chya-nte sa-rva-ki-lbi-SHaih |
bhu-n^ja-te te tva-gham pA-pA
ye pa-cha-ntyA-tma-kA-ra-Nat ||III-13||
ya-jn^a-shi-SHTa (remnants of a yajn^a, food remaining after
performance of an yajn^a,
remannats of fire offering, food offered in worship)
a-shi-nah (eating, consume)
sa-ntah (the righteous, good, devotees, true)
mu-chya-nte (they are released, are liberated, are freed)
sa-rva (all kinds of)
ki-lbi-SHaih (from sins, from wrongs, from evils).
bhu-n^ja-te (eat, relish, enjoy)
te (they, those)
tu (indeed, but)
a-gham (sin, impurity, pain, suffering)
pA-pAh (the wicked, sinners, the evil ones, sinful ones)
ye (who)
pa-cha-nti (prepare food, they cook, they digest)
A-tma (own, self)
kA-ra-Nat (for the sake of)
The righteous people consume food remaining after being offered to a
ya-jn^a and are thus
released from all evils; but the wicked, who prepare food for their
own sake, indeed eat only sin.
