Today is Vaikuntha Ekadasi fast. My suggestion to all is to avoid
talking of food for one day and continue this discussion tomorrow. It
is a sin to eat on Ekadasi.
praNAms
Hare Krishna
First with regard to whether Lord Krishna is a SUdra or not...frankly I
thought since krishna was a gOpAla, he was SUdra by his vrutti :-))
anyway, if we see that he is 'yAdavakula vaMshOdbhava' his kula is
kshatriya....In either case, according to someone's observation, he was
not having idli-chutni-sAmbaar, poori-saagu, dOsa-palya chutni for his
breakfast & Udupi menu for his lunch, being a 'rasika shikhAmaNi' he must
have enjoyed non-veg menu only :-))
And with regard to vaikunTa ekAdashi, talking about the food is not
'eating' of the food...we talk lot about brahman but still we feel brahman
is aloof from us, is it not:-)) Anyway, brahman is annaM & annAdaH as well
( ahamannam, ahamannAdaH says taitireeya), so prabhuji we cannot spare
even a single day without talking about anna brahMa which is our own
svarUpa :-))
Hari Hari Hari Bol!!!
