What happens to us if we eat Non-vegetarian foods? NV foods consume a large amount of energy while being digested. Tamasic food is said to withdraw our energy, make us more lethargic and vulnerable to disease. Our mind also becomes more negative. Emotions such as anger and greed are said to take hold if we eat overcooked (NV) foods. The sattvic foods bring calmness, peaceful and clear energy to achieve the goal through bakthi yoga.
When we are child we do not know which is right and wrong. The kids eat the food that is prepared in the house. Lateron if the kid, after grow, realises that he can never try bakthi yoga as he/she was meat eater that should not stop him growing further in the spiritual line and hence incidents like Kannapa Nayanar will help him to eliminate such reservations from his mind. Whenever we read purana and our scriptures we should understand the core messages in it. So, from Kanappa Nayananar episode we learn the importance of bakthi rather than he offered meat to god and worshiped by spurting water from his mouth.
I have no doubt of Karna's bakthi. But the same karna only provokes Duchandhan to humiliate Dhrowpathy and ask him to remove the clothes from her body. Actually there are four types of negative human beings:
1. Saguni - This type of people can think negative with their own intelligence & poisonous in mind to the core.
2. Duriyodhana - This type of people are basically good but when suggested/provoked by people like Saguni they will involve in negative activities.
3. Karna - Will involve in negative activities when gathered with supported group of peoples.
4. Duchadhana - Will not initiate any negative action on their own but they can do so (without analyzing whether it is good or bad) when ordered.
As Karna being 3rd catagory he is mix of good and bad. Though Karna was too good his charter was spoiled when mingled with bad peoples and thoguh Vibhishnan belong to Ravana's group he became good when mingled with good people (Lord Ram).
As per nature eagle should eat dove. And a duty of king is to preserve whatever is surrendered to him. Hence sibi chakravarthy decides to offer his own flesh to eagle to the weight of dove so that he does his duty without deviating from nature law. This is the good example for karma yoga bcoz the king thinks and executes the action based on justice.
Temple and idol worship helps the masses to take-off from material life to spiritual life. Once they start flying (with spiritual energy) temple and idol worship becomes less importance.
