Pra-!o%a'at Most worthy of worship $e meditate upon you %emove our ignorance nd illuminate our minds VEGETARIANISM = DIET V$#$tar&an&sm2 &s &t "ust a r$(&#&ous &ssu$> People often ask which one of our scriptures say what humans should eat and what they should not. $e must understand that being a vegetarian is not an issue of weather or not you are a &indu. lthough modern science tends to promote non'vegetarianism to a certain e!tent, there is a vast amount of evidence demonstrating that vegetables and fruits have sufficient nutrients to sustain us, and give us a better life. $e will all agree that to find Bhakti (devotion) in our lives, we need satwic food. So from a health and a religious perspective, vegetarianism is a better choice. &indus place a lot of credence on Srimad Bhagavad *ita in their lives, because of its importance of being on of the two granths (holy books) to have been narrated by the Supreme *od (the other granth being *adrur Puran ' which was narrated directly by Lord vishnu to Lord *adrur. Lord +rishna,s Bhagavad *ita teaches us how to live this present life, where *adrur Puran teaches about the afterlife) !a#ava% G&ta $hile preaching *ita to r-una, Lord +rishna asserted. nyone who eats anything without offering to him is committing a sin. By offering edibles to the Lord before consuming yourself, takes away all ill effects from the item and at the same time it derives blessing of the Lord himself. /hus we arrive at a dilemma. $hat can we and what can,t we offer to the Lord0 Lord +rishna continues. ll 1 need from my devotees are. $ater (2alam), Leaves (Patram), cow,s milk and 3ruits (3alam). 1f we believe in Lord +rishna,s *ita ' then without doubt we have to accept his preachings for only then are we giving him and the *ita due respect.

Lord +rishna argues that the whole universe with its populous rotates on karma, so we shall each reap the conse4uences of our deeds. Rama'ana Lord %am in his tretha yugh also preached on similar lines. $hen 5evi Shabri asked the Lord for his advice on ways of living a Satwic life ' with high level of spirituality, he outlined 6aodha bhakti ' the nine commandments of bhakti. "ne such commandment is. See the Lord in every living soul ' be it human or another. n important lesson from that is do not kill or have another living being (animal of lesser ability) killed for your own taste buds. Some people have the misconception that being vegetarian one or two days a week is acceptable enough to give credence to what Lord %am or Lord +rishna preached in %amayan or *ita. 6owhere in *ita or %amayan is it e!plicitly stated that practicing vegetarianism on a part time basis is sufficient for a person,s devotional practice (bhakti). Human P!'s&o(o#' 1t has long been a generally held belief in some science theories that the human dental and digestive structure is not meant for the chewing and processing of flesh foods. &uman teeth are considered that of a frugivore ' who relies on vegetables and fruits for foods. /he length of the human digestive tract is consistent with that of vegetarian species of animals, not carnivorous ones who,s digestive tract is much shorter than ours, due to the need to get digested flesh out of the body as 4uickly as possible before it putrefies in the body of the animal. /he long digestive tract of humans and herbivorous animals is designed to e!tract as much nutrition as possible out of vegetable matter as it goes through the different areas of the digestive tract. /his is a much longer process than the 4uick carnivorous digestive process, as there is not so much need to worry about the putrefaction of vegetables in the system. 3rom this we can see that the consumption of flesh foods is very unhealthy due to the e!tended time flesh will be sitting in the human digestive system and putrefying, causing many to!ins to enter the blood. D&s$as$s $hen eating meat, there is no way of ensuring that you are not taking on the dead animals illnesses as well. %ecent cases of mad cow disease have proven that diseases can be transmitted from animals to humans through their consumption. Prevalence of cancer heart disease A!&msa /he concept of himsa (non'violence) as it is known today was preached by Mahatma *andhi ' voted man of the century in the 78th 9. himsa is the first of the ten edicts which make up the Yamas and 6iyamas (restraints and observances) in &induism. $hen human beings who can survive without the consumption of animal corpses purposefully slaughter animals to feed themselves, this is himsa (violence). 1n the eating of flesh, the violent act they have committed becomes a part of every cell of their body and affects their mind and spiritual life. T/$(v$ Y$ars $*or$ 'ou ar$ Pur$ 1t is often preached that any sacrifice ' be it mantra -apa or food cleansing has to be done for twelve years before its benefits are realised. 1n other words it takes twelve years to cleanse the body of the vibrational residue of meat eating. Pur&t' o* D&$t Purity of diet is of great importance in &induism due to the significant effects food can have on our physical, mental and spiritual health. 3oods are generally classified into three groups, Satwic, %a-asic and /amasic. ' Satwic food is food that is obtained in a non'violent manner and has a peaceful and positive effect on the body, mind and soul and on the entire cosmos. ' %a-asic food has a more aggressive and active effect. ' /amasic food has the vibration of indolence, lethargy, staleness and death. 3or thousands of years the effects of food on the human consciousness have been studied by great yogis in 1ndia, and due to their awareness of the profound effects of food on the individual and

society, these individuals choose a Satwic, pure vegetarian diet to enhance their spiritual practice and assist the world in its evolution. /he best form of diet for the devotee is pure vegetarian, meaning no eggs, no flesh and no onions and garlic or other tamasic foods. /his is a Satwic diet. lso important is the observance of :kadasis and other times for fasting, to the degree that is possible. /he conse4uences of the foods we eat are felt not only in our own bodies and homes, but throughout the entire world. 9ompassion towards our fellow creatures is a fundamental feature of a spiritual life. :very religion preaches compassion in one way or another, and every human intuitively understands the importance of compassion. 1t is therefore an act of conscious and intentional ignorance and denial to eat meat when we know how it is procured. $e cannot claim to be honouring the natural human tendency for compassion when we are involved in animal slaughter for pleasure.

VEGETARIANISM ?UOTES r-una, those who eat too much or eat too little, who sleep too much or sleep too little, will not succeed in meditation. But those who are temperate in eating and sleeping, work and recreation, will come to the end of sorrow through meditation. /hrough constant effort they learn to withdraw the mind from selfish cravings and absorb it in the Self. /hus they attain the state of union. !a#ava% G&ta @:A@,AB &e who desires to augment his own flesh by eating the flesh of other creatures lives in misery in whatever species he may take his birth.

HO3 SHOULD 3E DO PU:A AT HOME Just as Hindu believe in 16 sacraments in one's life, so too we should follow 16 steps in our worship of a God Each step has its special significance and one leads to another. It should be understood the same step can be followed for worshipping of an God ! be it the five main, Sri Ganesh, Sri Shivaji, Sri Hari Vishnu, Sri Surya Narayan or Sri Durga Devi . "he first of the 16 steps starts with invo#ing life in the relevant $evi or $evta statue followed b offering assan to the God and the final step involves offering of some darv da#shina %mone & whilst as#ing for forgiveness to the God.
