Is Non-veg eating and drinking wine a Sin?

I have come across lot of people who ask me “Sir, we east non-veg and drink regularly does this affect our charts negatively” My answer is to them is simple “Bhagwan ko dil me rakho, pet tak mat leke aao” I am a Non vegetarian and a occasional drinker as well but I don’t think it is making my chart any less favorable to me.

See there is a never-ending debate about this, and there are no right and wrong there is always that grey area which both the parities make peace with. I will not start a debate here about whether we should do it or not we will just stick with astrological angle.

So, Astrology has been written by very knowledgeable sages from the Treta Yug and Dwapar yug so here are some of the recorded facts that we have:

1. The Brihadaranyaka Upanishad has reference to meat cooked with rice.
2. The Ramayana, where during their sojourn in the Dandakaranya forest, Rama, Lakshmana and Sita are said to have relished such rice (with meat and vegetables). It is called mamsambhutdana
3. In the palace at Ayodhya, during the sacrifices performed by king Dashratha, the recipes described are far more exotic with acid fruit juices being added to mutton, pork, chicken and peacock meat and cloves, caraway seeds and masur dal also being added to various dishes.
4. The Mahabharata has references to rice cooked with minced meat (pistaudana) and picnics where various kinds of roasted game and game birds were served. Buffalo meat was fried in ghee with rock salt, fruit juices, powdered black pepper, asafetida (hingu) and caraway seeds, and served garnished with radishes, pomegranate seeds and lemons.
5. It is even recommended by the famed physician Charaka for the lean, the very hard working, and those convalescing from a long illness.

So, we can safely conclude that these people managed to keep their planets benefic throughout their life to be able to achieve so much and add great value to our rich ancient literature.

Also, in my 10 years long journey of taking consultation and reading about 6K+ charts I have never come across a person who has a great chart, but he is doomed to poverty or mishappening just because of what he eats.

Keep your Karma right, Rest what you eat won’t matter that much!

God Bless me and all you
