Guest guest Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Lord Sri Krishna vividly describes the three types of foods,Sattvic, Rajasic and Tamasic. Milk in the olden days was definitely Sattvic.However now it is 100% Tamasic due to the abundant violence and abuse it entails.Drinking such milk is equal to eating beef. In fact the animals raised for meatdo not have to suffer so much as these unfortunate dairy cows are made to suffer. ~Shri Kamlesh In Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, Ahimsa (nonviolence) is considered the first principle of the spiritual life. Ramana Maharshi, the great sage of Arunachala has clearly stated, “Ahimsa Param Dharma”. Translated this means that nonviolence is the supreme religion… My friends, in order to gain peace, one has to give peace to others. This is the universal law as described and explained by the doctrine of karma. What we give to others, we give to ourselves. If we are able to learn this lesson by heart, it will influence our actions in this world. It is not an easy lesson at all.Nonviolence is the most beautiful expression and manifestation of the unconditioned recognition of the Nature of Reality. This is our conviction. This ideal is our aspiration. As many times as we fall, we get up and stand on the foundation of nonviolence as our nature. ~Dr. Harsh K.
