A converted soul

[Guest guest]

Hi folks,

 

I am Arjun and I come from India. I belong to a community were eating meat is

encouraged for strength etc..an all that crap. About 8 months back I decided to

change my habits and adopt a more rational way of eating. I remember in the days

of my non-vegetarianism I would ridicule vegatarians and justify my habits

saying that man is an omnivorous animal and all that. The reason for my

conversion .. one fine day my conscience overpowered me and for good. Actually I

am an artist and a staunch admirer and lover of nature. The beauty that I now

see in a live animal is so much gratifying that seeing the poor thing dead and

served on a platter well garnished. And observing the beauty of life applies to

any form of animal..from a small bug to the most ferocious feline creatures.

Even plants and the flowers on them..

 

I will share with you all some India recipies once I have them documented and

also my musings (if they are welcome).

 

thanks & love

 

Arjun

Hi Arjun, I would love to try out some of your recipes when you have time to

share them.

Indian food is one of my absolute favorites, and my husband and I eat it

frequently. We

have come across a few southern Indian restaurants here in Northern California

and love it

as they are all 100% vegetarian.

 

Your words about your conscience and your love of animals really touches me.

Although I

initially became a vegetarian for health reasons, it wasn't long afterwards that

I realized

that my love of animals was a strong ethical reason for vegetarianism. I do lots

of

volunteer work with animal rights and rescue groups, and that just doesn't mesh

with

being a meat eater. I agree with you that the beauty of life should be respected

in all

creatures. Just because we have the ability to kill animals and eat them doesn't

mean that

it is ethically right to do so.

 

Don't mean to be getting heavy about this. I actually try not to be a moralistic

vegetarian,

as I believe people must come to their own decision about this issue when and if

they

choose. If someone asks me why I'm a vegetarian I am blunt about my beliefs, but

I never

try to force my beliefs on others.

Hi folks,

Hope this mail find u all in the best of health and spirits.

I am glad that Laurie you too like me have a concern for other living beings &

also that you do not force your views upon others.

I promised to give some India recipes and till I have my mother's specialities

documented and shareable I refer you to this site http://www.tarladalal.com/

This has all kinds of India recipes. (Unfortunately the site also has non-veg

dishes :-( as it caters to all kinds). To be able to view all the recipes you

can activate a trial membership for 2 days after which you must take a paid

subscription. So the day you are reasonably free, sit for some time and copy the

recipes to a word doc.

 

luv & take care
