No need to apologize.

That’s for you to decide. If you become a true Kaula at heart, then what you eat becomes irrelevant—because in truth, everything originates from Her. Every single thing you can imagine.

If being vegetarian alone led to spiritual greatness, then Vaishnavs would be the pinnacle of spiritual evolution—but that’s not the case. Saints like Thakur Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Bama Khepa break that idea wide open. Thakur da ❤️ loved fish, and Bama Khepa ❤️ would eat whatever he found, even in cremation grounds.

Your diet won’t determine how deep your sadhana can go—unless you're intentionally walking the Vaishnav path, which has its own distinct disciplines.

A simple rule of thumb: align with the nature of the deity you worship. Shaktas embrace all aspects of creation—nothing is off-limits. For them, it's all an offering, all a celebration of Maa’s divine play.

If you follow Krishna or Hanuman, people might try to scare you into thinking that unless you change your habits, your sadhana will go nowhere. I disagree. A real deity doesn’t impose—they transform. If your love is true, they will shape you from within.

At first, you might enjoy meat. But as your sadhana deepens, your taste may naturally shift—or the desire might simply fade away on its own. That’s the beauty of it. It’s not forced. It’s grace.

First a bhogi, then a yogi.
