Dear Swamin Firstly, thank you for the information on waraq. On a wider plane I am a little confused on the issue of adhering to strict vegetarianism in this time and age.It looks like the line demarcating the two is slowly fading away - see below. I am not sure whether it would make sense to 'reject' medicines that the doc prescribes when someone is down sick due to the fact that they may have some non-vegetarian content. The need of the hour seems to be to qualify vegetarianism in accordance to the present times. Please excuse me in case i have offended anyone with this mail as the intention is solely to get your valuable thought on the matter. Adiyen Ramanuja dasan aravindan Extract from the TOI- In May 2005, Indian officials announced they were planning on labeling all cosmetics and personal hygiene products as to whether or not they were "vegetarian." This came after officials had early proposed labeling medicines as to whether or not they were "vegetarian." That proposal was ultimately rejected on the grounds that almost all medicine would have to be labeled "non-vegetarian" and might discourage strict vegetarians from accepting them. --- shekar babu <prs_raaj@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > om namo ramanujaya namaha > > dear sir, > > you have tought me a beautiful lesson regarding > WARAQ. i am really astonished that how i am eating > this one which is coming from animal skin. i think > that everybody should aware of this WARAQ which is > very very harmful. > > i will promise you that i will definetely take > part in reaching your goal with this information to > every one i know. > > thanking you sir, > > shekar > > Anil kumar Sakamuri <anil.sakhamuri@xxxxxxxxx> > wrote: > Subject:Sweets are non-vegetarian: The lowdown on > waraq (aka varakh) > Sweets are non-vegetarian > > Beasts in my belfry / Maneka Gandhi > > In India, by law, every food item has to have a > green > dot on it, if it is vegetarian - and a maroon dot, > if > it is non-vegetarian.
