Hare Krishna,
If a Muslim or christian or even low caste Hindu eats non veg will he get the same sin as a Hindu brahmin eating or Brahmin will get more sin if he eats and others get comparitively lesser sin?

Hare Krishna..
Did the Lord said this to you or its your own opinion?

But indirectly it means ignorance is bliss.. There are people who are not bothered to know what is there in shastra. They are atheistic and don't follow any rules. Another brahmin who knows shastra but due to overwhelming desire not able to control mind breaks the rules. If the latter is punished more is it not unfair

Hare Krsna Prabhu,
PAMHO.
Ignorance is bliss, one can lead one's life in ignorance and lose the chance to evolve in the human form of life. It is mentioned in the Gita that people in the mode of ignorance do not get a human form of life in the next birth, they get animal or lower forms of life, depending on what consciousness they have developed in this life. Then they keep travelling in the 80 lakh species of life forms until they get another chance at human form of life.
A brahmin who knows shastra but breaks the rules is more condemned because he has the apparatus to have the knowledge and grow, but he wastes it completely. Thats why he is punished more. Like how a child is spared for his offence of (say) stealing, but an adult is not. Then going by your logic, it would mean that it unfair to punish the adult simply because he had the knowledge. It doesnt work that way na.
If you know the rule, you should attempt to adhere to it. One of the human traits is the propensity to make mistakes. Krsna is pleased by our endeavour to control ourselves and follow rules.

Ofcourse child cannot be punished.. but the person who doesnt follow rules and is in ignorance is not a child.. he has the intelligence but he is not bothered to use it..
regarding the subject of meat eating, Lord Ram ate meat and his name is used in maha mantra. what now, will you question the maha mantra because of a piece of steak. maybe some of you need to take a peace of steak.
Hare Krsna Asur Vasudev Prabhu,
Pls give reference where it is mentioned that Lord Ram ate meat.
Secondly, the point here is not what the lord ate or did not eat. The reference here is what He has instructed us to offer HIm and He has also mentioned that anyone who eats anything without offering Him, verily eats sin. In effect, we have to eat only prasadam. One who is aware of this instruction and still eats non -veg, as compared to someone who is unaware of the instruction at all - are they sinners at equal level - that is the question. I hope you have understood.
This question has been amply answered in earlier posts. I responded to Dean prabhu because of his reply. Do not quote one part of Jesus's teachings - take a holistic view, you will get the answer. HH Tamal Krishna Goswami Maharaj has gone on record stating that people of the Hare Krsna movement are far stricter followers of Jesus's teachings than christians.
Haribol,
Your servant,

Jesus also said - Thou Shall Not Kill.
If he meant only human beings, he would have said "Thou Shall Not Murder".
person who knows and commits sin will be punished worse than that who is doing sin without knowing that it is a sin.
When we do sin knowingly it is considered as an offense - 7th offense to the Holy Names.
So offense is more powerful than the sin.
Your servant,
Ignorence - someone lacking knowledge (but this is not an excuse !)
Ignore - someone who has knowledge and ignored it (more punishment)
