Delhi HC banned Beef & Pork Festival at JNU upon the petition of Rashtriya Goraksha Sena.

No ‘beef & pork festival’ in JNU campus: Delhi High Court.

PTI | Sep 19, 2012 | NEW DELHI :: The Jawaharlal NehruUniversity (JNU) and the city police were today ordered by the Delhi High Court to ensure that no beef and pork food festival is held in the central university campus.
“The JNU and Delhi Police are directed to ensure that no such beef and pork festival takes place on September 28 or in future,” a bench of Acting Chief Justice A K Sikri and Justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw said.
The court order came on a plea by a registered society, Rashtriya Goraksha Sena, seeking directions to JNU and other authorities to enforce the law and prevent the organisers from holding the scheduled beef and pork festival in JNU campus.
Appearing for the Centre, Additional Solicitor General (ASG) Rajeev Mehra placed on record a circular issued by the JNU registrar, warning students against the possession, consumption or cooking of beef on campus, pointing to the Delhi Agricultural Cattle Prevention Act that prohibits cow slaughter.
Petitioner’s counsel Vimal Wadhwan argued that no action was taken against the students who have announced to organise the food festival in violation of the Act.
“As per the Delhi Agricultural Cattle Prevention Act, 1994 there is provision for five years of imprisonment and Rs 10,000 as fine for storing or serving beef,” the counsel said.
The petitioner society had sought the court’s direction “to authorities not to permit serving of beef or pork or anything which will hurt the religious sentiments of the people in general”.
JNU counsel informed the court that on September 17 a copy of the circular had been handed over to Anup Singh, one of the students who had planned to organise the festival.

The concept of 33 koti devata in Hinduism!

The concept of 33 koti devata in Hinduism: The Vedas refer to not 33 crore Devatas but 33 types (Koti in Sanskrit) of Devatas. They are explained in Shatpath Brahman and many other scriptures very clearly. "Yasya Trayastrinshad Devaa Ange Sarve Samaahitaa, Skamma Tam Bruhi Katamah Swideva Sah”. ~(Atharva Veda 10-7-13) Which means: with God’s influence, these thirty-three (supporting devta) sustain the world. In Brhadaranyaka Upanishad while discussing Brahman, Yajnavalkya is asked how many gods are there. He says that there are three hundred and three and three thousand and three gods. When the question is repeated? He says, thirty three. When the question is again repeated he says, six. Finally, after several repetitions he says ONE. (Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 1) The number 33 comes from the number of Vedic gods explained by Yajnavalkya in Brhadaranyaka Upanishad – the eight Vasus, the eleven Rudras, the twelve Adityas, Indra and Prajapati. (Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 2
