Sairam friends,
Firstly, I wanted to share something to you. On August 1st and 2nd, after many months or years, I din’t received a single mail from a devotee for first time. (I did got mails from Sai friends who already know me.). Since I din’t got mails from any devotees, I was wondering if my site is down etc and later realized StarSai.net has some problem.
These two days, I realized how much I am into the habit of reading mails from Sai children. Anyway, I also felt some peace because listening to others problems also makes me think about them.
Anyway, May be it also means Saibaba is solving problems of many of his children.
Shirdi Saibaba himself cooks Non-Vegetarian foods in a separate vessel apart from the Vegetarian dishes he makes when ever he wanted to offer food to devotees who come to have his darshan. Sai doesn’t differentiate devotees based on their caste, creed, religion, status, education etc. So Sai also doesn’t bother even if you have Non-Vegetarian food. There are millions of Sai devotees who has NV food.
I just try to express my personal opinion based on experiences I had in past.
1. Sai allows devotees to have Non-Vegetarian food but he has also said this
“I live in you and I also live in every other life”.
This way, when we hurt any other living being, we must think if is it possible to avoid it. If you are having Non Vegetarian food, do not get worried about this article. This article is only for devotees who are in the process of being pure vegetarian.
Last week, one of my friend got cold and he said that he will be having Crab soup and go home as it cures cold. Next morning he was on leave as he said he got fever. When he returned I told him
“The crab would have slapped you at night in dream…he he …as you killed it and drank juice out of it”. So you got fever”
This morning, I got a dream related to crab and felt Saibaba wanted me to write about this being Vegetarian topic.
Its honestly not necessary to be Veg to be a Sai devotee. Sai accepts everyone equally. If you are trying to avoid Non Veg foods, I appreciate it. Gradually try to be pure Veg.
I know several youngsters who’s family is pure Veg but they start the habit of having Non Veg foods as they go out with friends.
On the other hand, some girls and guys are from family who has Non-Veg food, but they try to have Vegetarian food.
So its always your choice.
I have no time to add content in –VegetarianGuru.in
I am really late now.

Note- You can continue to have any food as you wish.
As Sai devotees we are divinely cared for Baba’s Blessings.Shri Sainathayanamaha.
Sairam,
I totally comply with you .. eating meat doesn’t make a man bad. A person can be good and eat non-veg food while on the other hand a person can be bad and eat pure veg food. It all lies in ones deeds/actions a person attains purity. Personally I remember these lines (read it from an animal point of view) : ” I am life which wills to live in the midst of life which wills to live”.
Thanks
