vegetarian food

we claim to be the vegetarians but wat abut water we drink and air we breathe all contains germs in it eg well water lake water etc it is said that if some animals are not there in the water the water can be poisonious to drink c ause these animals clean water .fish cleans water through the gills .sea snakes .tortoises also clean the water .the water passes through gills  then how can the water be veg.
the air we breathe also contains millions of germs in it wat abut it
every living thing is dependent on each other for their survival.wat does all these mean
is water .air can be considered as veg how?

    Honouring Krishna Prasadam will not only Purify our turbulent mind but it takes away the sins . It is a medicine which will keep our mind and soul together, more over it controls our temper. The type of food one eats will speak-what he is, you develop such as calmness, tolerance,patience,etc. Biologically speaking,plants convert solar energy in to chemical energy as food for the entire universe -and these plants are directly or indirectly becoming the food of every living organisms. As per energy laws during each transfer part of the energy is lost.
    Hence use your intelligence to become more energetic by directly feeding on food grains and engage in the loving service of Lord Krishna . HARIBOL
  • the air we breathe certainly contains millions of germs but by the act of breathing we are killing all these germs no doubt but it is not intentional. Breathing is essential for our existence so we cannot stop that even though this is happening. some religions like jains who claim to be non violent to the extent that they cover their mouth and nose with a cloth so that they filter the germs out and just take the air is based on this principle. But the Krishna conscious principle is basically Jivo jivasya jivanam which means that for survival every living entity has to live on another. so with this vedic principle in mind even breathing and drining water which is essential for our survival,definitly allows that some living entiities such as germs and other living organisms which help to clean the water is helping us in our survival so it is allowed and is free from sin. So ultimately we dont have to classify these things as non veg ....just because there are germs in them. They are essential elements for our survival so it is free from sin.
    So anyway as Yuga avatar pr said we do not claim to be vegetarians coz even we agree that even plants have life so some amount of violence is happening. But we claim to be Krishnatarians meaning that whteve we eat or drink we first offer it to Krishna and then accept. This helps to destroy all the sinful reactions incurred for killing all the living entities such as germs and water which is cleaned by passing through gills of fishes which is non veg etc etc etc and many such things. so once it is offered it is completely purified so it is not just veg it is krishna prasadam which is a highter concept than just eating vegetarians. We should thank Krishna everyday for the air we breathe and the water we get for our survival. and offer him and then accept the remnants. That is the way to leading a pure life by eating only krishna prasadam and not just speculating and going into the details of how many living entities are there in water or in the air .
    • thank you mataji for your beautiful explination i was little confused and my doubts are cleared beautifully hare krishna
    • Thank you for your more perfect and indepth reply...... on the natural symbiance of all creatures in krishna's creation ....sita devi dasi.
  • ACTUALLY THE SINCERE DEVOTEE IS NOT REALLY INTERESTED INBEING MERELY VEGETARIAN....HE OR SHE IS INTERESTED IN BEING A ''KRISHNA-RIAN''.By dovetailing everything to please his senses they purposefully please the supersoul within........by their non-envious spirit he allows them to approach more closely.Hence with that dedicated mood krishna becomes well disposed to the genuine service mood of his devotee.Even the germs and other living entities become blessed by the sankirtan mood and spirit of krishna's sincere sankirtan devotee!....hopefully this maybe pertinent,your servant!
    • thankyou prabhu for your reply .i m extremely happy to kw that i m a krishna-rian i was little confused for sometimesbt you cleared my doubts beautifully hare krishna
  • hare krishna
    its very difficult to get anything which is perfectly clean.
    thats why shri prabhupada says we should first offer everything to radha krishna. by doing this the food, water everything we get will be pure.
    all glories to shri prabhupada.
