Guest guest Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 Namaste, The favour is not for me. The last words of the last paragraph from Sivananda's site are really true. People are better confronted by example. You may say why do I care about what people do, well all this sends vibrations into the astral and material and contributes to war and violence. Also to becom e realised Daya or compassion is necessary. Sometimes the truth of a blunt person is preferable to the middle class manners of hypocrisy and political correctness. Sivanda seems to think so. If it saves one life or the torture of one sentient being it is worth it. "When man abandons flesh foods and takes his nutrient direct from nature's hand, of well-ripe and healthy fruits and grains, nuts and vegetables with addition of honey, cheese and milk, we shall find a large number of diseases disappearing. People will have more power of endurance and attain longevity. What is needed is a well-balanced diet, not a rich diet. A rich diet produces diseases of the liver, kidneys, and pancreas. A well-balanced diet helps a man to grow, to turn out more work, increases his body-weight, and keeps up efficiency, stamina, and a high standard of vim and vigour. People who are slaves to the flesh-eating habit cannot give up animal diet, because they have become confirmed and inveterate meat-eaters, and hence they try to justify their habit by various arguments and statistics. One cannot change their ways merely by argumentation and disputation. Ultimately, it is only the force of personal example that has a strong effect upon the people around you." http://www.yogapeace.com/vegetarianism1.htm http://www.rense.com/general60/kosher.htm http://www.geocities.com/aoclery/AVEGETARIANandAHIMSA.htm ....ONS....Tony.
