EGG IS NON-VEGETARIAN!!!!!"KALYUG MEIN ULTI GANGA BEH RAHI HAI,DUNIYA ANDDE(EGG) KO SHAKAHAR AUR DOODH(MILK) KO MANSAHAAR(NON-VEG) KEH RAHI HAI"--MUNI SHRI 108 TARUN SAGAR JIPersons interested in vegetarianism should carefully bear in mind the fact that eggs in diet comes under the category of non vegetarian food. People in some countries think that eggs come under the vegetable; therefore, they serve the Indians/Jains egg preparations under the name of vegetarian diet. It is therefore necessary for the strict vegetarians to be careful, else egg-preparations may violate their sacred vow. Our Jain sages, who were great philosophers as well as astounding spiritual- scientists have explained that egg comes under meat diet. The white side of the egg is a bony substance. The liquid matter inside forms the body of the chicken when hatched. Thus it has been classified as meat. To treat egg at par with milk is as erroneous as to call a horse, a cow. Milk is the stage of food before it is transformed into blood, while egg contains blood and other constituents of flesh. Even the unfertilized egg is a non-vegetarian item. It is something like still born baby or unfertilized egg of mammals. It is clearly stated in the scriptures that this animal mass is the habitat of infinite number of nigod (microbes) souls irrespective of whether we interfere with ultimate growth by arresting the process of fertilization.Therefore vegetarians should never eat egg .
