Hi Perwesh,

In the Gita Lord Krishna says :

Offer fruit, grains, water or flowers with love and devotion and I shall
accept them.

Other items such as meat, fish, eggs etc. are not mentioned. It is also
mentioned that those who do not offer are eating sin. Krishna asks for
everything to be offered unto him, otherwise we are classed as thieves !!!

I did give references here in the vegetarian topic to the Vedic home page,
there people find references to text in the Vedas that forbid meat eating.
Eating beef is very sinful.
