________________ Parind Shah. Date: Mon, 24 Aug 1998 21:33:14 EDT From: hkmehta1@juno.com (Haresh Mehta) My name is Riddhi Mehta and I am 16 years old and I just moved to Boston, MA from Columbia, SC. I was deeply hurt by the info you gave me, not your opinion, but the story and the manslaughter. In May of 97', I stopped eating eggs and cheese (because of rennet) because of a lecture that Guru Chitrabhanuji gave in Columbia. I thank you for informing me on what was oblivious to me.

I am here in Dallas, Texas, past President and current Board Member of the Jain Society of North Texas. First of all, thanks for the research and detailed article that was published in JivDaya. I am sure the articulate detail you have provided will help many Jains to decide against using dairy products. One clarification I would like to make is that most of the Digambars do not use milk in the rituals. Also no scriptures supports the use of milk in rituals. Some Digambars in South have started using the milk in their rituals, which is direct influence of Hindu rituals. Atul.
