In so many incarnations, you were an elephant, a fish and a deer. In so many incarnations, you were a worm and an insect On page 176 of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, the following is written: The Sikh view is that we can be mineral then human.we can be vegtable then human.we can be animal then human.there is no order or additional sin placed on eating an animal or vegetable. mineral to vegetable to animal then human.and because the animal is closer to human if we eat it we incur more sins in terms of Karma. The Vaishnavite belief is that there is some order or Karm.i.e. The Vashnavite belief to Karma and reincarnation is markedly different from that of the Sikh one. This maybe the reason why hearth problems are common amongst Indo people. On a side note there are some very unhealthy vegetarian foods (which particularly Indian people eat), ghee, halwa, nuts etc. As an ex-body builder I have found that moderate amount of lean red meat (say once a month), fresh fruit, vegetables, lean chicken, eggs etc can enhance people health and physical performance. Nihungs on occaision serve meat as Mahaprashad at langaar. Saying that there are Gurudwara's in India eg Gwalior where meat is served on occaisions. If you study the history of the Gurudwara''s (or Dharamsala's prior to this you will have your answer). Both Hindu and Muslim found it acceptable. A safe option and compromise between different faiths was vegetarian. This in effect means people have different dietary requirements. This means it has to accommodate for different religions, belief's, etc. Meat is not served in Gurudwara's because one has to remember that a Gurudwara is open to all. Alcoholic and narcotic substances are stringently against the Sikh diet, hence these with any meat products are strictly not allowed on Gurdwara premises Others believe that the reason vegetarian food is served in Gurdwaras is so that people of all backgrounds can consume the food without any anxiety about their particular dietary requirement and to promote complete equality among all the peoples of the world. Since some Sikhs believe that it is against the basics of Sikhi to eat meat, fish or eggs, hence non-vegetarian foods of this sort is neither served nor brought onto the Gurdwara premises. It is advisable not to leave any leftovers. Those serving should wait until all others have been completely served before they sit down to eat themselves. When serving foods by hand, such as chapatis or fruit, the servers’ hands should not touch the hand or plate of those they are serving. Servers should not touch the serving utensils to the plates of those they serve. When serving the Langar, the servers must observe strict rules of cleanliness and hygiene.
