Hubballi: Although many seer lingayat opposed the government’s proposal to serve eggs for students in midday food, part of the community, including writers, whales and scholars, supporting the move.
The section supports proposals to serve eggs using the same argument as those who oppose it, which states that food choices must be submitted to individuals.
In addition, they show that the poet Sharana always emphasizes plurality in society.
The Sanehalli branch of Sirigere Matha Panditharadhya Shivacharya Swamiji stated surprised at the problem of triggering controversy.
“I don’t understand why this is even a problem.
Let one eat any one wish.
If a student does not want to eat eggs, children can have fruit.
It’s very difficult to divide children into vegetarian and non-vegetarian groups.
Lingayats have never tried to intervene in someone’s food, “Shivacharya Swami Toi said.
The author and publisher of RG Halli Nagaraj, a prominent member of the Lingayat community, given the existence of his mother is advised to eat raw eggs every day by a doctor when he was treated at a hospital in Davanagere 45 years ago.
“Since my mother did Shiva Puja every day, we could not bring eggs inside the house.
So, we asked them the sell egg to leave it in our backyard.
For one year, he eats eggs and drinks milk, and is done complete recovery.
Immediately, we all started eating eggs, while my mother kept her ritual.
I feel there is no correlation between someone’s religion and diet.
If their children and parents do not have doubts, serving eggs will help fight combat nutrition in the country, “he said.
Former Bureaucrat and Ulama SM Jamadar showed that, while Sharana poets advocated vegetarians, none of them, Basavanna and Allamaprabhu included, prohibiting consumption of non-vegetarian food.
“Madar Chennayya, Dohar Kakkayya, Nuliya Chandayya among those who were welcomed into the fold of the Sharana movement.
Basavanna never asked people to give up non-vegetarian food.
As happened, trying to impose restrictions on serving eggs in the name of religion is a clear violation of individual rights, “Jamadar said, who is also Secretary General of Mahasabha Lingayat Jagatika.
Jamadar said that Mahasabha did not oppose the government’s decision to serve eggs in midday food.
Shivakumar UPPin, an activist who had been involved in the movement of demanding Lingayat identified by religion itself, said, “People cannot be separated on the basis of caste, gender and food in this religion of Basavanna.
Opposing the steps to serve eggs is an untouched form.
Many lingayats have failed to understand the true spirit of religion, “he regretted.
Murugharajendra Koraneshwar Shivayogi from KoreanShwar Sanshthan Mathematics in Khajur said that the principle of community life should not be an obstacle for children to consume eggs.
“Everything we want from the government is to study if eggs are digested easily.
I have studied multi-purpose basic health, and scientific, eggs cannot be classified under ‘non-vegetarian’ food, “he said.
