Radhe Radhe!
Please help me out. My parents are making me to eat non-veg food. I am trying my level best to not eat but I am failing at it because of my parents. I even cried and refused but my mother forced food in me. She is hitting me as I am refusing to eat. She said she will never allow this to happen. She thinks due me bhakti I changed a lot and she also thinks that I keep on praying so she removed most of the God photos that hung in our house. She threatend me that if I don't eat non-veg, she will not keep diya to God. In recent circumstances I manged to convince her that if I make into an IIT or NIT she said she will agree to my decision but she also said that I have to eat non-veg untill my exams.
What am I supposed to do? Am I suppose to eat non-veg untill the exams but thinking of it is making me even more sick. I seriously don't want to eat. Please help me out.

Hare krsna ,
I feel sad you are going through this, but real problem is our own karma, as the vaishnav song says" apan karam bhunjay shaman" . now our job is to rectify that karma we have got. Real help comes from krsna, so keep praying as hard as you can to krsna. For cutting bad karma-trouble given by other people-adhibhavtik taap- , pray to radha rani as well, read bhagwatam, write krsna krsna in a diary.
Go to doctor, get them to write note that you allergic to non-veg due to certain type of food intolerance, then show parent and hopefully that will stop them from forcing you
Thank You very much for your reply!

(This is only my opinion) I think you should still refuse to eat because if we eat meat even if forcefully God will be disappointed in us because if we look at stories at Prahlada, Meera, Gopis, Narsinh Mehta, etc they were all ready to give up lives than to rather do a sin. We have to be brave for our bhakti towards God if we want to call ourselves a true devotee. However, they might kick you out of your house so in this circumstance, you can probably go to your hare krishna temple for shelter.
Thank You very much for your reply!

If your parents are not allowing u to leave non-veg then, you can say that u will limit it and in that limitation u can only eat with the rasa part. And mean while u can try to politlely convince your parents. But if they became angry 😡 then please don't mess with them. And one more thing is that please don't behave arrogantly and in a hate mood, I have done this in my house and it resulted very bad. Many relatives and parents became very angry and unhappy.

You need to be tolerant, in front of parent just study don't do Bhakti in front of them, try to do it hiddenly.
And with studies, this material studies helps a lot to convince parents, please study very well and pray to krishna. Prayers are very very powerful and it also pleases Krishna. So pray to krishna, he will surely help you.
I hope this will help u.

Radhey Radhey!
Thank You very much for your reply.
So in the end, am I suppose to eat it till I prove them with my studies?
Is there no other way to stop eating all at once?
Mata ji, I am also in the same trouble,I belong to a bengali family and recently I had a quarrel type of thing with ma, as she was telling me to eat meat but I refused, It is really very difficult, They are thinking I'm getting mad, sadhu....
Parents are saying these are also food as these are in food cycle,i had no logic for this, I really don't know what to do, what to say them,?
Hare Krishna Mata ji,
if your parents are not ready then you should prove them by scoring marks in nearby or next exam. If they cook chicken, fish and egg then My recommendation will be Score good marks in next exam and then u can tell your parents that you will not eat chicken or fish or both any more and you will score even more good mark in your upcoming exams. Gradually leave these things if they are very against it. And also if do puja then please give them prasadam, prasadam is very very powerful.
I hope this help but if you want more experienced and mature answer you can email HG Keshav anand prabhu (info@keshavanandmedia.com)
