Upanisad says Hindu couple desiring super-babies should consume beef
by Guest Wed May 10, 2017 6:40 am
Turns out that some champions of " garbhasanskar", a supposedly Vedic method to ensure the "best babies in the world" who will build a strong India, swallowed the tail-end of an ancient Sanskrit prescription for such progeny....
The Garbh Vigyan Sanskar project of Arogya Bharati, an organisation aligned to the RSS, has skimmed on veal or beef that a couple should have for a learned son. This is prescribed in Brihadâranyaka Upanishad, VI, 4, said historian D.N. Jha, who authored the book The Myth of the Holy Cow.
"Why have they forgotten this Upanishadic precept?" Jha asked while pointing to the relevant paragraph of the Brihadâranyaka Upanishad.
The territory is a bit tricky from here, especially for those who are not familiar with Sanskrit.
"Now if one wishes that a son, learned, famous, a frequenter of assemblies, a speaker of delightful words, that he should study all the Vedas, that he should attain a full term of life, they should have rice cooked with meat and eat it with clarified butter, then they should be able to beget (such a son) - either veal or beef."
Jha cited this from The Principal Upanisads, translated and edited in 1953 by the then Vice-President Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, which also provides the original in Vedic Sanskrit.
" Atha ya icchet putro me pandito vigitah, samitim-gamah, susrusitam vacam bhasita jayeta, sarvan vedan anubruvita, sarvam ayur iyad iti, mamsodanam pacayitva sarpismantam asniyatam, isvaravu janayita vai, auksnena varsabhena va." (Auksnena is veal, varsabhena is beef and va stands for or.)
A translation of this paragraph by Robert Ernest Hume says: "Now, in case one wishes, 'That a son, learned, famed, a frequenter of council-assemblies, a speaker of discourse desired to be heard, be born to me! that he be able to repeat all the Vedas! that he attain the full length of life!' - they two should have rice boiled with meat and should eat it prepared with ghee. They two are likely to beget (him), with meat, either veal or beef."
If this is indeed what the Upanishad meant, it would mean that great injustice has been done to countless couples who could have had their super-babies and eat their beef steak too.
