If a meat eater worships Krishna, Is it sinful?
A Girl devotee (Name hidden) asked like this:
“Prabhu. Please explain me what shall happen a non veg meat eater worships Krishna with full fate on him and chanting him.”
REPLY:
Nothing will happen. If you worship Krishna as well as take meat means that you are not loving Krishna sufficiently.
What is Love?
It involves sacrifice.

Without sacrifice, there will be no chance for true love. That love will be just a personal safeguard or pretention.
So, if you truly love Krishna , sacrifice the unwanted habits and some excessive attachments for Krishna.
That is why, the fastings are followed. We sacrefice our urge of tongue on ekadasis by sacrificing food on that day. This is a penance or sacrifice to show our love for Krishna.
So, a meat eater should stop taking meat hereafter. There are so many delicious food that can be prepared with vegetables.
Purchase a kitchen book from ISKCON centers. They have given recipes of various wonderful satvic foods using vegetables and that can be offered to Krishna.
Actually, we should not eat any food that can’t be offered to Krishna. Krishna did not ask animals to eat from us. He says in Bhagavad Gita just simple things like water, leaf, fruit, etc. So, this shows that he prefers vegetarian foods only.
And, pure vegetarians will become dominated in satva guna. So, they will not stand first for creating problems and hence they lead mostly a peaceful life.
And, as said by you, when you chant as well as eat meat, this is double standard. Actually, you are expected to give up meat when you progress in chanting stage by stage.
What will happen if a person practices Krishna Consciousnes as well as eat meat?
They will take more births to go back to the Lord. That’s all.
If a person is a meat eater, he can not go back to Lord. Because, he will not be in satva guna. Thamo and Rajo guna people can not go back to lord. Only satva guna people can advance in devotion to the Lord.
Then, the doors of Goloka will open for him. Unless one comes out of the hold of three gunas, he can’t go back to Lord. This is definite.
So, please avoid eating meat including egg, if anyone likes to go back to lord.
Meat eaters can not advance in devotion easily. Keep this in mind.
Hope you are clear whether it is sinful if a meat eater worships Krishna.
