History suggests that development of Indian
Culture took place on the banks of river Indus (Sindhu
) Whereas sages/ holy-men (learned ancient
scholars ) suggested that development of Indian
Culture took place on the banks of kind river
Maha (Mahanadi ),Many sects ( panth – religious
way of life ) were created ( & operated ) under
the main stream of Indian Culture but none of
them was without the principle of protecting all
lives (includes all living creature on the earth
).
Each of the religions that existed ( in
Indian Culture ) contained at first point
protecting of all lives and at last point
friendship with all lives .In this country there
is not a single religious path which dose not
consider killing (of any life/ creature ) as sin
.You can refer the history of last 5000 years
India has never attacked any other country. It
was not the case that this country (India) did
not possess power, wealth or beauties .It
possessed more wealth than any other nation in
the world. Here in India Religion was most
important and religion of protecting / love all
lives was on top of all. In each corner of the
country there were brave people who sacrificed
their lives fighting for lives of (even) animals
who sought asylum or under their protection
shield.
Sages/holy-men (rushi-muni ) with their
teachings/advice have glorified this India
Culture flowing through ages .These
holy-men/saints have said that even one sin of
violence (killing any life ) is just enough to
wipe off all good religious work done during
ones life time and saving of a smallest life
enables a person to get pardon for any sin .
To
day we are trapped in situation/circumstance
that in-spite of our sincere wish /will we are
unable to save the lives of animals being killed
in slaughter-houses. Government Policies are
encouraging the killings (of animals,
creatures). Illegally too many killings are
taking place Therefore it becomes our duty to
create such situation that will prevent flow of
animals towards slaughter-houses. We should be
instrumental to save maximum lives and utilize
power of our body, brain and wealth for the
protection of all lives (of animals, birds
creatures etc)
