Why can we eat 'living' plants but not 'living' animals while having a journey on path of spirituality ?

Answer : Killing of both ANIMALS and PLANTS is prohibited.

Bhagwat Gita has answer to this. There are Three types of Guna. 1/n

Read on
Sattva: Sattva is Calm, Saintly. Its brings up quality that allows spiritual holiness, forgiveness and submission to God.

Foods dear to those in the mode of goodness increase the duration of life, purify one’s existence and give strength, health, happiness and satisfaction.
Such foods are juicy, fatty, wholesome, and pleasing to the heart. (BG 17.8)

Raja : Foods that are too bitter, too sour, salty, hot, pungent, dry and burning are dear to those in the mode of passion. Such foods cause distress, misery and disease. (BG 17.9)

Mantra Deeksha when you can't find a Guru

A lot of conversations revealed people's helplessness and confusions on about how to start a spiritual life and sadhna of their interest without a Guru. Let's see how a Guru makes an impact in one's life.
Seeking gnyaan from a Shidha guru makes a strong impact in one's life. When a guru checks the eligibility of the seeker and educates him, the seekers life would start to bloom like a padma(Lotus). Guru Upadesha is very important in ones life.
Every praani (living Being) is equally eligible to get this gnyaan depending upon how strong his virtues and will power is to attain the Para Bhraman. Guru's grace is Eeshwar Icha ( Bhraman's Will ). There would be number of tests of our patience on the path of spirituality.

Here in Skanda 11 Chapter 27 of Bhagwat purana, Shree Krishan is telling us the methods by which worship is done to him.

Shree Krishan said -:

वैदिकस्तान्त्रिको मिश्र इति मे त्रिविधो मख: |
त्रयाणामीप्सितेनैव विधिना मां समर्चयेत ||७|| 1/9
Meaning : One should carefully worship Me by selecting one of the three methods by which I receive sacrifice: Vedic, tantric or mixed.

vedabase.io/en/library/sb/…
Now in SB 11.27.15 shloka Shree Krishna is saying that he is worshiped according to the faith of a particular worshiper.

So one can worship him in deity form OR one can worship him in his heart also , its called Manas pooja ( pooja by mind).

Why idol worship of gods came into existence?

Its said in Shreemad Bhagvat Purana that in the beginning of Treta yuga saints ,sages introduced deity worship in the form of idols when they saw people are doing Disdain (Tiraskar ) , Malice and disrespecting each other. 1/3
दृष्ट्वा तेषांमिथो नृणामवज्ञानात्मतां नृप |
त्रेतादिषु हरेरर्चा क्रियायै कविभि: कृता ||३९||

My dear King, when great sages and saintly persons saw mutually disrespectful dealings at the beginning of Tretā-yuga, Deity worship in the temple was introduced with all paraphernalia.
So what are the other ways we can worship our Bhagwaan?

Shree Krishna has explained this in Gita in a beautiful and clear manner. Which we will explore later in the day.

Wish you a good day and Jay Shree Krishna 🙌

One Of our Follower asked a very cute and a genuine doubt:

What is the difference between Shrimad Bhagavatam and Bhagavad Gita?

Ok So here are answer to few questions (though very trivial but important)
Srimad Bhagavatam or the Bhagavat Puran, is the 5th major purana amongst 18 different puranas. It contains 12 different parts (skandhas) and around 18,000 verses. Similar to the other Puranas, the Srimad Bhagavatham is written by Sage Vyasa.
Sage Shuka, who was Vyasa's son, recited the Bhagavatam to King Parikshit who was cursed to die in 7 days, by Sage Shrungi.

What happened to King Parikshit?

Well, For that we needs lot of threads but lets continue with the differences.
