How many of you eat beef in America. Its been almost a year since I came to America, I haven't intentionally eaten it and I don't feel like it. Although, I have been tricked a couple of times but other than I don't. Do you? 

Very insightful but you are beating around the bush and yet i fail to understand it all. We are not discussing the validity of what the vedas present, but questioning how beef eating is considered to be downright taboo in our culture. 

i am not sure where you came up with your first point that people who live in the vicinity of cow brings positive energy, again to me that is just an assumption much like your second point regarding cure for blood pressure, this is the first time i have heard of such remedy.


My question is how radical hindus who think that by not eating beef and doing bhagwan bhakti all day makes them better, special and purer than someone who is a hindu or born into a family that eats beef? what is the logic? i have time and again questioned where this imfamous rule is cited in the holy books.  this type of belief system of not eating beef, at least to me, resonates the belief that  brahmins are purer in form than the other caste just cause they are born into one.

Ok let me pose another question do you consider the Hare ram hare krishna white/black/brown race to be hindus as well?
