Hare Krishna devotees,
I love watching japanese solo travel videos in my freetime but some of these videos contain consumption of beef. I stop watching the video immediately but I want to know if its possible to watch. Open to any help🙏🏼

This is a thoughtful question about balancing personal principles with external content. Many find it helpful to focus on the primary value of the video (like the travel and culture) while consciously minimizing engagement with the conflicting aspect, acknowledging it as part of the broader environment. For reflections on navigating personal boundaries within broader entertainment, some articles on casino ignition discuss similar frameworks for mindful consumption.
Hare Krishna Ankush prabhu!
If the description of the video indicates that there are no people eating beef and other meat, then such a video is spiritually useful. And in general, you should not meditate on non-vegetarians or people about whom you are not sure that they are not vegetarians. But even if they are absolute vegetarians, but they do not offer food to God, then the situation is also not spiritually useful.
As an exception to the rule, such a video is useful for preachers to know the route of these solo travelers.
At the very least, one must be very careful when dealing with vishai - persons attached to sensual pleasures
