Published by the Vedanta Society NEW YORK PRICE 10 CENTS Copyright, 1900, by Swami Abhedananda, new york 58832 — — w* " Who can be more cruel and selfish than he who increases the flesh of his body by eating the flesh of innocent animals." Mahabharata. " Those who desire to possess good memory, beauty, long1 life with perfect health, and physical, moral and spiritual strength, should abstain from animal food." Ibid. " Highest virtue consists in the non-killing of animals."—Ibid. WHY A HINDU IS A VEGETARIAN. Eminent physicians and dietetic reformers of the present day are deeply interested in solving the great problem of wholesome food for human beings, and in introducing food reform in Western countries. Through their efforts thoughtful Americans are be- ginning to know something of the healthful effects of vegetarian diet, and to question whether they shall become vegetarians. This question has never been discussed in the West with so much earnestness as now. Among the ancient Greek philosophers we find strong advocates of vegetarianism in Pythagoras, Plato, Socrates, Seneca, Plutarch, Tertullian, Por- phyry and others; but the vast majority of Western people regard vegetarians with contempt and ridicule. In India this problem was solved by the Hindu phi- losophers long before Pythagoras was born, and in their writings we find logical and scientific arguments against the killing of animals and the eating of animal flesh.

Nowhere else in India could you find such an intriguing mix: giant fishing nets from China, a 400-year-old synagogue, ancient mosques, Portuguese houses and the crumbling remains of the British Raj. The result is an unlikely blend of medieval Portugal, Holland and an English village grafted onto the tropical Malabar Coast. It’s a delightful place to spend some time and nap in some of India’s finest homestays and heritage accommodation. Kochi is also a centre for Keralan arts and one of the best places to see Kathakali and kalarippayattu. Mainland Ernakulam is the hectic transport and cosmopolitan hub of Kochi, while the historical towns of Fort Cochin and Mattancherry, though well-touristed, remain wonderfully atmospheric – thick with the smell of the past. Other islands, including Willingdon and Vypeen, are linked by a network of ferries and bridges.

  • Jews: an Historical Exploration Through the Shores of Kerala History
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 20, Issue 9, Ver. VI (Sep. 2015) PP 43-45 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Jews: an Historical Exploration through the shores of Kerala History Dr. Sumi Mary Thomas Assistant Professor, Dept. of History, CMS College, Kottayam, Kerala, 686001 Kerala, also known as Gods own Country, is a state in the South West region of India. The state was formed on November 1956 by combining various Malayalam speaking regions. From the early days Kerala is famous for trade, particularly for spices which attracted traders from different parts of the world. As per Sumerian records Kerala is referred as the ‘Garden of spices’ or ‘The spice garden of India’. The state has attracted Babylonians, Assyrians, Egyptians, Arabs, Greeks and Romans. Merchants from West Asia and Southern Europe established coastal ports and settlements in Kerala. Jewish connection with Kerala was started in the tenth Century B C. The Jews are an ethnic group who settled first in Muziris, the earliest seaport in Kerala which was known as ‘Little Jerusalem’. They came to Kerala during the period of King Solomon. It is believed that King Solomon had visited Kerala for trade purposes. From the very early days the country Kerala was known to the ancient Jews. In the 6th century BC the Jews came to Kodungaloor in order to escape from the Babylonian captivity of Nebuchednezzar. In 580 B C the Babylonian Empire conquered Yehudah (Judah), the Southern region of ancient Israel. After 50 years later, the Persian Empire (ancient Iran) conquered the Babylonian Empire and allowed the Jews to return home to the land of Israel.

  • Jewish Community in a Village in Kerala
    TheChennamangalam Synagogue: Jewish Community in a Village in Kerala Wooden relief over a door in the Chennamangalam synagogue Chennamangalam synagogue after restoration The Jews of Chennamangalam A tombstone outside the recently restored synagogue in Chennamangalam has Hebrew letters inscribed, which are clearly visible, with the words "Sara bat Israel" Sara, the daughter of Israel. The Hebrew date corresponds to 1269, making it the oldest Hebrew text in India. How did this Hebrew writing reach the quiet, verdant village of Chennamangalam? The Jews of Cochin have lived on the Malabar coast for centuries, some say from the time of King Solomon. Others claim that the Jews arrived in the first century A.D. after the destruction of the Second Temple. In a popular Christian tradition, St. Thomas arrived on the Malabar coast and was invited to the wedding of the daughter of the King of Cranganore. There, St. Thomas sang a Hebrew bridal song which none of the company could Gathering of the Chennamangalam understand, except a Jewish community, 1952 Jewish flute girl. After the wedding, St. Thomas retired to the Jewish quarter in Cranganore, where he took up residence. This local Christian narrative confirms the existence of Jews on the Malabar coast as early as the first century. Local tradition also has it that in 1341, after the harbour of Cranganore silted up, the Jews moved from Cranganore to Chennamangalam and other centres. Cranganore was also known as Shingly. To this day, the Jews of Chennamangalam, like the other Cochin Jews, follow the Sefardi liturgy, but pray according to the "Shingly rite".
