Considerations for Non-Vegetarians (Āmiṣabhojī-digera Jñātavya)
In this short article, Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura presents a list of quotations from zoologists, scientists and physicians of his era to demonstrate to his countrymen that meat eating is not natural for humans. The piece employs the testimony of contemporary Western scholarship to support its argument regarding the unsuitability of meat consumption for human physiology and health. First published in Sajjana Toṣaṇī, Vol. 8, Issue 4, 1896.
What is a human? (Manuṣya ki?)
In this short essay, Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura demonstrates the futility of modern science in understanding the subtle body and the spiritual body. Through his analysis, he challenges the materialist assumptions underlying contemporary scientific inquiry and argues for the necessity of spiritual knowledge in comprehending human nature beyond the physical frame. First published in Sajjana Toṣaṇī, Vol. 2, as Manuṣya Ki? (What is a Human?).
