what happened in 1984

In a special conversation with NBT, Shankaracharya Swami Avimukteshwarananda said that this was the year 1984-85. At that time, vegetable ghee was sold in the name of Dalda. Later it was discovered that fat was mixed in it. Almost everyone had eaten this Dalda. Some had eaten it at home, some had eaten it at a party, some had eaten it while eating on the road. The situation had become such that every Hindu thought that now I have eaten fat, what should I do now? An atmosphere of extreme despair had spread across the country.

Raid on Jain brothers' factory

Shankaracharya Swami Avimukteshwaranand told that at that time Jain brothers had a very big Dalda factory. Dalda was supplied from here to the whole country. Later when the food department raided there, a large amount of fat was found there. All this was animal fat. This fat was mixed in Dalda and distributed. After this incident, the question arose before the public that if we have eaten the fat of Dalda, then are we Hindus now or not.

Isn't that beef fat?

Shankaracharya said that in our religion it is believed that one who eats beef is no longer a Hindu. People got confused whether this is cow fat? If it was cow fat, now that it has gone into our mouth, are we Hindus or not? He said that this has created a very big problem.

Then Shankaracharya told the solution

And we are telling you a brief atonement, by doing which you become pure and the guilt feeling goes away from your mind. So the entire Hindu society came out of the guilt feeling.
