[A question by Smt. Ramya]
Swami replied:- If you have stopped non-vegetarian food, it is your duty to stop it in your family also. After practicing a right concept, you must propagate to others. Of course, if your family is rigid, leave them to their fate and propagate this justified concept to outsiders. If your family is not changed, at least you should propagate to outsiders. Killing other living beings is the highest injustice as told by scriptures. The punishment for this sin is that the soul eating non-vegetarian food will be born as an animal and the killed animal will be born as a butcher in the next birth. No worship can cancel this sin because it is the highest injustice (ahiṃsā paramo dharmaḥ).

Note:- Lord Krishna says in Srimad Bhagavad Gita that propagating divine spiritual knowledge pleases the God greatly, Jñānayajñena tenāham. Spiritual knowledge brings about permanent happiness and peace in the world. So Join us in sharing this divine spiritual knowledge of Lord Datta and earn the highest grace of God.
