BoE must be taught emphatically about Hindus’ worship of money as Goddess Laxmi. Therefore dead meat and ingredients are incompatible with divinity. Beating vegetarian and vegan drums can fall on deaf ears, because many vegetarians carry leather handbags, wallets shoes, and belts.
BoE’s refusal to withdraw £5 already circulating is understandable. To proceed with printing beef-laced £10 notes is defying voice of the people, which is supposed to be voice of God. Would BoE have ignored protests by Muslims against use of pig’s fat? This stubbornness is contra to motto, customer is king. BoE earns interest when customers circulate the notes. Thus BoE bites the very hand that feeds it.
Suggestions asked by Kumudini Valambia:
All tainted notes do not have to enter holy premises. Boxes may be placed at strategic places away from and outside gates of temple. Notes collected in these boxes may be directly banked.
Hoondies or promissory noted may be purchased outside temple boundary. These hoondis may be accepted as offerings or donations.
Cashless payment similar to oyster/ credit/ debit cards may be used.
Easiest method will be consecration to eliminate aura of dead animal, by performing auspicious yagna/ havan.
