[Advaita-l] About beef eating in Upanishada

[D.V.N.Sarma డి.వి.ఎన్.శర్మ]

It is an invented explanation by some people to say Hindus never ate beef.
A motivated explanation. As I have said in the earlier post there are many
places where beef eating by brahmins is mentioned. If you are interested google
for the same.
regards,
Sarma.
