Is dietary vegetarianism mandatory in Sanatan Dharma according to original Vedic and Upanishadic texts?
There are intense online debates regarding food choices in Hinduism. While modern practice largely values Ahimsa and vegetarianism, critics often point to ancient sacrificial rituals (Yajnas). What is the scriptural stance on food, gunas (Satvik, Rajasik, Tamasik), and non-violence across Vedic literature?
