    So in neminath dada wedding Why animals were kept as feast knowing that he is a god Why non veg

    3 months ago 70

    In Jain tradition, Neminath Bhagwan did not approve of violence or non-veg.

    What happened at the wedding was this:

    • The wedding arrangements included a meat feast for many guests.
    • Animals had been gathered for slaughter.
    • When Neminath Bhagwan heard the cries and saw the cruelty, his compassion awakened.
    • He immediately renounced marriage and worldly life and went toward diksha.

    So the meaning of the story is:

    • It was not because Neminath Bhagwan wanted non-veg.
    • It shows that even in a royal wedding, ahimsa is supreme.
    • His renunciation teaches that a true soul cannot accept violence.

    In Jain Dharma, this episode is remembered to show:

    • the cruelty of animal killing,
    • the greatness of compassion,
    • and the turning away from worldly attachments.

    So the answer is: animals were kept for feast as part of the wedding arrangement, but Neminath Bhagwan rejected that violence and left the wedding.
