யாழ்ப்பாணம் இந்து குருமார் சங்கத் தலைவரான சிவலோகநாதன் குருக்கள், இலங்கை ராணுவம் புனிதமான பசுவின் மாமிசத்தினை உண்ணாமல் போர் புரிந்ததாலே போரில் வென்றார்கள் என்றும் அதேவேளை வன்னியில், புலிகள் பசு மாமிசம் உண்ட காரணத்தினால் போரில் தோற்று மறைந்து விட்டார்கள் என்றும் தெரிவித்துள்ளார்.

புலிகள் இந்துக்களால் வணங்கப் படும் பசுவை உண்ணுவது குறித்து சைவ இந்துக்கள் மனம் வெதும்பினார்கள். பிரபாகரன் ஒரு இந்து. அவரது தந்தை ஒரு சிவாலயத்தின் நிருவாகி. அவ்வாறு இருந்தும் பிரபாகரன் இந்துவாக இருக்கவில்லை. ஆனால் பத்திரிகைகள் அவரை ஒரு பக்தியாளராக காட்டின.

Sri Lanka Army Won the War as They Refrained From Eating Beef While Prabhakaran and the LTTE Perished Because They Ate Beef – Sivaloganathan Kurukkal

Kurukkal P. Sivaloganathan, Chairman of the Association of Hindu Priests of Jaffna, says that the Sri Lanka Army was blessed by gods and won the war as soldiers refrained from eating beef while the members of their counterpart, the LTTE, ate beef and perished.

Hindus venerate the cow and despise the practice of consuming beef. Kurukkal Sivaloganathan says that vegetarian Hindus were upset when LTTE members were found eating beef.

“Prabhakaran was a Hindu. But, he did not follow the path of Dharma. His father was one of the chief laymen of Ishwara Kovil of Valvettithurai. Prabhakaran did not practice his religion. But, some newspapers tried to portray him as a pious Hindu.

“Hindus are vegetarians. Some Hindus eat meat, but refrain from eating beef. Prabhakaran’s army ate beef, ignoring our pleas against it.

“We preach during our festivals not to eat beef. LTTE leaders used to participate in them. They promised to avoid the practice, but continued consuming beef. They were empty promises. But, the Army promised us to refrain from eating beef and stopped the supply of beef to the forces fighting the war.

“We could not meet Prabhakaran to make a request in person. But, other leaders knew about our appeal.
“Once there was an economic exhibition at Nallur Kovil. It was the time Jaffna was under the LTTE rule. We begged them not to display any item of beef. That time, the LTTE leaders listened to us.”

It is not possible to determine how far the policy of not consuming beef contributed to the victory of the armed forces and the role it played in the defeat of the LTTE.However, suffice to say that wisdom of Kurukkal Sivaloganathan cannot be ignored.

Most of the Hindu leaders are vegetarians. The Brahmins, who are the sub caste of priests, refrain entirely from eating meat. They comprise 20-30% of Hindus in the world.

Vedic literature written in 500 BC also highlights the policy of not eating meat. Rig Veda contains a plea from the Goddess of Fire to burn the heads of the villains who eat beef, horse meat and human flesh and also ones who steal milk. The Goddess of Fire is requested further to punish the beef eaters in other parts of Rig Veda.

But, some researchers have shown that Vedic Aryans had sacrificed cows and eaten beef. The practice had ebbed in the Maurya Period. Brahmins opposed sacrificing cows and it is mentioned in Mahabharath and Holy Scriptures. Eating beef was looked down upon and not at all part of Hindu food culture. It was limited only to the untouchables.

Bull was highly valuable as a worker in the time the vehicles were yet to be invented. The owners of cattle were considered rich. Even today, the cow is a very useful animal. It provides Pasgorasa: five products from the cow.

Cattle also give organic fertilizer free of poisonous chemicals.

Kurukkal Sivaloganathan pointed out that all these products of cattle are used in the festivities of Hindu temples. In one of the festivals, the statues of God Gana are made of cow dung and urine. Panchakavya and Prayachitha are two festivals associated with cow’s products. Cow is offered and revered at house warming ceremonies, weddings and the opening of new temples.

According to Hindu literature, cow is known as Kamadhenu or Surabidena in heaven and the cow represents those heavenly figures on Earth.

A stanza in Siddha Ayurveda says that beef brings diseases.

Kurukkal Sivaloganathan pointed out that folklore says that a fiend troubles those who shed the blood of the cow.

Mahatma Gandhi once said “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”

Kurukkal P. Sivaloganathan is the chief priest of both Veera Badra and Paththini Kovils of Araly, Vaddukkoddai. He is also the Secretary of the Association for Protecting Cows of Jaffna.

ஒருத்தன் தோற்றால்.. எப்படி எல்லாம் உலகம் கதைக்கும் என்பதற்கு புலிகள் நல்ல உதாரணம்.. யாழ் அந்த உதாரணங்களை காண சரியான இடமாகி உள்ளது.

இதே புலிகள் வென்ற போது... எப்படிச் சொல்லி இருப்பினம். புலிகள் பசுப்பால் குடித்ததால் வென்றார்கள்.. சிங்கள இராணுவம் மனப்பால் குடித்ததால் தோன்றார்கள் என்றா..?!
