INDIA, February 15, 2004: It seems that with each outbreak of Asian Flu

or Mad Cow disease, people are either adopting a vegetarian diet or

reaffirming their lifestyle choice if they are already vegetarian.

Interviewing vegetarians from various regions of India, Saikat Neogi

has uncovered a wide array of vegetarian followers. Vidyanidhi Dalmia,

chairman of Dalmia Continental Private Limited, who was brought up a

vegetarian and has now resumed the diet says, "Eating nonveg was always

uncomfortable for me, and the very thought of killing a living being

for consumption was abhorrent. And late last year I decided to turn

vegetarian." Raj Khosla, director of Shelters comments, "I was going

for a meeting and got struck in a traffic jam. Ahead of our car was an

uncovered lorry carrying slaughtered chickens and their blood was

flowing on the street. Every time the lorry used to brake, a splash of

blood would hit our windscreen. It was very detesting. It was then that

I decided to quit non-vegetarian food." Chelan Seth, chairman and

managing director of Chemon adds, "I was a carnivore and ate every kind

of meat under the sun. But after going through a couple of spiritual

lessons, I decided to give up nonvegetarian food. The quality of meat

in India is not very good and can lead to diseases." All three men are

happy with their vegetarian food choices and say that globally

vegetarian food is now easier to find than it used to be. Dilip Modi,

CEO of Spice Communications says, "There is a plethora of fruits and

vegetables available all over. So, being a part of the herbivorous food

group one can enjoy a variety of cuisine in every country. It is hardly

a sacrifice to be vegetarian like many may think and one can enjoy the

vast variety of vegetarian food, apart from the fact that it is more

healthy." Dr. Umesh Kapil, professor in the department of

Gastroenterology & Human nutrition at All India Institute explains,

"The high content of fibre in the vegetarian diet can prevent

constipation which is responsible for diseases like diverticulosis,

hiatus-hernia and varicose vein. Similarly, a vegetarian diet prevents

one from being exposed to zoonotic diseases which spread because

inadequate examination is done of animals before they are slaughtered."

[Dervish]

It's too bad that the desire to enter vegetarianism in this case is the fear of getting sick.

Dervish - it's not too bad, it's quite good.

Don't forget - those cows were all cow-eaters in their past lives.

Narada Muni whispered nonsense into Kamsa's ear. Why? To bring on Krsna's appearance sooner. And it worked.

Modern politicians are trying to imitate Narada by similarly lying to their constituents, but they don't know how, they're not at all acquainted with Narada's secret formula.

They are so unfortunate.

They think that by killing & destroying Satan's world, God or Jesus will sooner reappear.

Now THAT's too bad. THAT's too bad.
