Why should not the dog be beaten ?
When we think of a dog, certain
good things about it can be known.
The dog can alos be known as Kukkurah,
Bhashakah, Mrugadamsakah, Kauleyakah, Sunakah,
Sarameyah, Gramasimhah, swanah etc in the sanskrit laanguage.
The dog is a part of our daily life.
It protects us from so many disasters.
Means it protects from other animals,
thieves, and also other enemies.
The dog is most faithful animal which
is also a pet to the man.
There is one proverb which our elders say frequently
“The man does not have such kind of faithness
but which a road side dog has the same”.
It is also our house saver.
The dog can track by sense of
smell even from a long distance.
No doubt such a great power of
comprehension it has.
It smells the air, dust or dirt and other things
even at a distance of miles together.
Hence it is said in the Sacred Scripts like Vedas,
Upanishads and other scripts, the dog should not be beated.
Even at the time of Yagas, and the Hawans,
when the dog enters, we should observe
the Samyamanm (Restraining or forbearance) and should not beat it.
In the Yama loka which is Narakaloka,
for the wicked sinner, the meat of the Jackal which
is the same kind of specy of the dog is given as food.
In the great epics like Sree Ramayanam and
also the Mahabharatm, there were incidents
that the dog enters the courts of the King
Sree Ramachandra and also Sree Dharma raja for its justice.
And in both cases, the dog was given the
opprtunity to punish the offender (guilty person)
but not by the Sree Ramachandra and also Sree Dharmaraja.
Then the Dog gave an amazing justice to
the offender without put him into troubles
and asked the King just offer him
an assignment of Dharmadhikari in the temples.
Now let us think about the post of
Dharmadhikari whether it is Punyam or Papam ?
