Hindu man ask New Zealand supermarket to pay for his flight so he can be "purified"

[Kaniska]

Seriously? Is this true that the family members will stop talking because he consumed beef?

Ohh...come on..do not try to be so naive....it does not matter what is the implication of consuming beef...But the it is a matter where HE was not informed by the restaurant about a product that was purchased from them....

strictly speaking , he has lost his right to follow his religion, by crossing the ocean either by sea or air

Oooops...

A Hindu man who ate beef that was wrongly labelled as lamb has asked the supermarket to pay for his flights back to India so he can be cleansed by priests.

Jaswinder Paul claims he bought the meat from Countdown Blenheim on New Zealand's South Island in September.

He said he cooked the contents and began eating it before discovering the dish was beef instead of lamb, as labelled.

In the Hindu culture, cows are considered sacred and not to be touched.

By eating beef, Mr Paul said he broke his religious vow and needed to be flown back to India to be 'purified' by priests, stuff.co.nz reported.

'According to my religion, I have to go back to my country and do sacred things for four to six weeks, and be purified by priests, so I can continue on my religious path. It's a long process,' he said.

Mr Paul said he would have to close his small business to pay for the overseas trip, which would substantially affect his income.

He also said his family has stopped talking to him since he ate the beef.

Mr Paul approached Countdown who apologised for the mistake and offered him a $200 gift voucher.

He rejected the gift voucher and is requesting the supermarket pay for his travel abroad for his purification.

Following several months without a reply, Mr Paul went back to Countdown in February.

The supermarket once again apologised to him and said the gift voucher still stood.

Furious at their response, Mr Paul is now seeking compensation through the courts.

'I don't want to go to court against a big corporation. I just want to go home,' he told the publication.

'I understand this looks like a simple matter, but for me this is very hard. I break my religion [vows] because of someone else's negligence.'

Meat is not allowed in Hindu religion, so by any mean he decided to be dirty and he have to bear the expanses by himself to clean his dirty mind

 

[Jlaw]

I can purify him.

How would you go about it?

 

[Path-Finder]

to be purified , he needs to dip in the holy ganges

New Zealand should give him and his family 1 way ticket back , save their purity from living with beef eating mlecchas (barbarians)

well this is actually a misconception, ganga is clean as blue if you go up stream from that photo!

 

[rott]

How would you go about it?

I'd sprinkle my holy water on him.

 

[Boss Dragun]

How about Bali then? I am sure this is a better alternative if not a cheaper one

The hindoos that we have are the kind who cooks cows for dinner though, but he's always welcomed for an autenthic hindoo styled cow steak.

wrong only brahmins and a minority of non brahmins dont eat meat in the south...less than 5% of the hindu population in my state dont eat meat others do...we have non veg versions of vegetarian gods where one has to sacrifice animals to please them...most of us do it without fail...after sacrificing it we all eat it in temple itself...in many non veg temples we kill the animal right inside the temple itself.

Next he would be asking NZ government to pay for the clean up of the Ganga first so he can take a dip in it.

done...its not vile according to our belief as the soul of the animal goes and merges with the god for whom it is killed...it may sound gross but then thats our faith...its done by the thousands in some temples down south.

In Hindu scripture it is not permit and that is what i quoted. I didn't say who is following and who isn't
