When silk involves killing of silkworms why do devotees use silk? Answer silk doesn’t necessarily have to involve killing of silkworms in traditional India the silk would be made in what can today be called as Ahimsa silkways.
Even today we see traces of that still remaining for example certain parts of Assam there is a type of silk called wild silk so that is made without any inflection of violence on the silkworms. Similarly there is another kind of silk called spun silk in which the larvae that exist inside the cocoon are allowed to go out of the cocoon and then the threads are made out of it eventually so the present system of making silk by the killing of the silkworms is something that has been imported from China and it has been going on for a long time and that’s why it has become sort of mainstream today but as much as possible devotees should be very sensitive and if we do a little bit of search it is always possible to find out means by which we can get Ahimsa silk. Now silk is considered pure in the sense that it doesn’t get unclean very quickly unclean from the physical perspective silk does not absorb colors and silk does not absorb dirt and that is why normally when pujaris use a silk chaddar or silk uttadi it stays clean for a longer time and today silk is often valued for its being an appellant cloth but because of its physically clean property that is also considered sacred in the sense that it is suitable for use in sacred situations in sacred occasions on the altar, in the yajnas and other such places so as much as possible devotees should try to avoid the silk which is made using violent means and should use Ahimsa silk.
This was a traditional Indian art which has been lost but if adequate number of people become interested in it then it will be revived and that is what we should try to do
