Question

Chapter 17 of the Bhagavad Gita As It Is promotes a particular form of this action based on Krishna’s classification of sattvic, rajasic, and tamasic faith. The Sri Venkateswara Swami Temple in Tirupati (“TIH-roo-puh-tee”) has a geographic indication tag protecting its production of a product used for this action. A baby’s maternal uncle facilitates their first performance of this action (-5[1])during a ceremony called Annaprāshana. The Ānanda Bāzār distributes things for this action after their use in daily ceremonies at a temple in (*) Purī dedicated to Jagannātha. Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated with offerings of modak, on which the god loves to perform this action. Following (10[1])consecration during a puja, prasād is distributed among worshippers for this action. For 10 points, in accordance with ahiṃsā, many Hindus perform what action (10[1])without meat? (10[1])■END■
