Why Is It Important to Be Vegetarian?

It used to be that those on a spiritual path were vegetarian mostly because of the Hindu tradition of Ahimsa – non-violence to all living beings. And, without a doubt, the harm that is inflicted upon edible species by the business of meat is most assuredly NOT Ahimsa. It is one of the most violent acts of aggression ever perpetrated by man. Now, however, it isn’t just that violence against animals that is suspect – the industry that provides us with hamburgers and chicken nuggets is now intent on destroying humans as well.

In this vital teaching, Sadhviji delves deep into the harm that the meat industry is inflicting on the planet and its inhabitants – harm that includes the literal destruction of our planet – and offers compelling reasoning for everyone – not just those on a spiritual path – to become vegetarian. All of our lives, she declares, quite literally depend on it!
