Date: Tue, 21 Apr 1998 18:25:27 EDT From: Instyplano <Instyplano@aol.com> Jai Jinendra! My name is Atul Khara. I am here in Dallas, Texas, past President and current Board Member of the Jain Society of North Texas.
First, thanks for the research and detailed article that was published in Jivadaya. 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 support 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.
