Hi I have never said that Acharya supports Non veg. What he says is that the religion did not force Veg but kept that as a High ideal and made that voluntary. Subsequently it forced it as Compulsary for a few but many people voluntarily became Veg.

Apart from this there are are certain devi sadanas like - doing japa sitting on corpse, doing that in a graveyard etc. Lalita Sahasranama describe them too. The Sakti cult is very complex.

The vedic saivam won over jainism and budhism only through debates and not through any violent means.Sambandar expresses this very clearly. வேத வேள்வியை நிந்தனை செய்துழல் ஆத மில்லி அமணொடு தேரரை வாதில் வென்றழிக் கத்திரு வுள்ளமே(3-108-1) வைதி கத்தின…
