Thank you God for guiding me to vegetarianism
I began listening to Vedic teachers on CZcams and a few months ago I became a vegetarian. I’m a Texan over 50 and my heart changed forever. I’ll never go back.🙏
Aum Namo Narayanaya 🙏💞💞💞💞
Many of the people all across the world want to be vegetarian, but they don’t know how to !! India needs to export its way of life , it’s recipes , it’s cuisine , it’s diverse platter to the whole world .
Agree 💯
It is not possible to. Neither is it advisable. Not every region has arrable land or climate. Dont be Eutopian. Be a realist.
Exactly! Sanatana Dharma way of life is a big chapter. 1.4 Billion Indians and majority Hindus and of them all, maybe 100 people follow perfect way of life as prescribed by the greatest yogis. If all Hindus followed the same yogic way of life, then we won't have same human DNA, but much superior one by now. Yoga and Meditation were tools developed to create a perfect future by perfecting the DNA every next generation. Now we have a purpose of life. But, humans of Kali Yug don't have self-control and hence they will fail miserably in evolving their species properly. 8 Billion humans on this planet and I'm more sure about human extinction than human evolution.
@@RAIRADIO Poor excuse. If you can't grow food in your area, move out. It is as simple as that. Nature does not understand your stupid excuses for eating animals and you have to pay for violating dharma.

Excellent! Thank you!
I became a strict vegetarian forty three years ago when I first encountered the Great Upanishads!

A little late, welcome home, nevertheless, milk = beef BTW.
@@19683 sophistry at its best! I kudos to your intent & hidden ego! drinking milk is about eating flesh then have you eaten your mother's flesh when you were a child! calf eating cows flesh when they drink the mother's milk!!
@@udayakumardevaraj2018
It seems the Devarajs
1. artificially inseminate your women or have a stud go around, while they are tied to a rape rack
2. Separate babies at birth
3. Milk the women by hand or pump while babies starve
4. Kill males at birth
5. Females go to step one
6. Send your women to slaughter houses when the milk they produce is of less value than what their upkeep costs.
@@19683 what are you smoking!!
@@udayakumardevaraj2018 The truth pipe
Sir you are really great how beautifully you taught a lesson to non vegetarian who kill innocent animal and eat their meat 🙏🙏🙏🙏from India
When we do yoga and continue doing it , our urge to eat meat , over eat ,over sleep , do anything more than required lessens on its own. The body starts balancing itself and dependency on anti biotics and vitamin pills decreases. The body is able to connect to itself and this Mother Nature . 🙏🏻
Ancient Hindu s followed Dharmic vegetarianism.Today, most dairy is adharmic. To be Dharmic, one has to be vegan today.
Tho isse kya faida hoga?
Choosing to be a vegetarian is a higher choice , and Bharatavarsh is blessed to have the resources and the inclination to be one 🙏🏻Let’s adhere to our sanatan values and not copy the west in terms of their eating habits.
@SHASHWAT SINGH no Amul company don't take out meat from dairy animals they burn the animal insteed
@@adityaraj2001 Nonsense, cows are illegally slaughtered in the millions and buffaloes one lakh killed every day.
@SHASHWAT SINGH Vegetarianism is good so don't try and preach veganism to us. This is a video about vegetarianism not veganism. Gods incarnations and all the Hindu gurus were not vegan they all consumed the dairy. Veganism is a new age thing and is foreign to India and nothing to do Hinduism. Vegetarian Hindus should ignore the vegan fanatics who attack Hindu culture.
@SHASHWAT SINGH then what no dairy because of vegan
and no more cows and ox etc (extinct) because of vegan
u fools don't understand vegetarian and vegan
vegan = herbivores
vegan is just shit of u people
@SHASHWAT SINGH yes i read what i wrote
now explain how vegetation is cause of beef
Thank you sir for respecting animals
Thank you so much for this Video! You are truly a GREAT SOUL!
my Sri Krishna's grace I am born in a pure vegetarian family, personally I never liked the smell of non-vegetarian food so I think I am lucky that I never tasted any non-vegetarian food till date so never have urge to eat non-vegetarian food.i am nearing 40 years of my life pure vegetarian till date....
I think this is the best video of CZcams ever😍😍❤️
Words of Wisdom(Wow)!!...Hezz a truly enlightened being!!👌👍
Many people argue that some cultures have no choice but to eat meat because of the harsh environment they live in. But these people should learn from the Bishnoi tribes of Rajasthan who live in the arid desert and yet are pure vegetarians. Not only that, but they feed all the wild animals in the vicinity.
What do they eat? And how is their brain and over all health? Cactus still grows in desert nothing grows when it snows.
@@RAIRADIO have you not heard about Buddhist settlements in icy cold Ladakh? Where there is a will there is a way! And what makes you link meat-eating with brain development?
@@drbipasha It cannot be an excuse. If you don't have enough food in your area or you cannot grow anything, move out of the area.
Thank you and much Love from the Philippines.❤
Very moving video. 🙏🙏🙏
He explains it very well. I don't know why Indians can't explain it like he does.
The difference is in knowledge. Most hindus don't know much about their own tradition.
Definitely , Bharat was blessed with sun and abundance
Thank you sir for this education..
We eat fruits and vegetables not plants and trees 😅 for the people who say plants have also life.
😅😅😂
Well leafy vegetables, roots and stems are obtained by uprooting a plant.
I meant mostly..😂 I was expecting someone intelligent is gonna say that but I don't like 🌿 leafy curry but I eat potato still lot better than slaughtering animals
@@CHECKMYPLAYLIST108 Yes, plants have life tho.
Karma is all about our actions... More we consume more complex life, more karma we accumulate in the form of everything including the diseases contained in the animal, poisons in the meat such as certain types of toxins, etc. This gets passed on to the meat eaters children and so on... there is no refinement of the DNA. They create more and more complexities and problems and diseases and disabilities and will need to use more material things such as drugs and surgical procedures to fix their bodies. By lowering our dependence on almost all life, we lower our karma and using yoga and meditation, we can neatly tune our bodies to perfection. That's how men and women of Satya Yuga had such supernatural powers and abilities. They ensured they consciously controlled their population and consumed only fruits and vegetables thereby lowering their total karma. Fruits and vegetables of Satya Yuga were infinitely more nutritious than those of Kali Yuga. They had evolved to provide the best for those divine beings. Also, since their population was low and perfectly in control, they ensured all individuals got all they wanted and there was never unhappiness ever such that death itself lost it's meaning. But, in Kali Yuga, at least for the sake of the soul, humans should try to harm least to no animal or bird or insect. All that have norciceptors can feel pain. So, avoiding such creatures alone itself is a good thing to progress to the next step.
You are a true yogi. Such a compassionate heart. I pray let many more of you to become and be inspired by your kindness.
I am a vegetarian. My friend once asked my why don't I eat even eggs. I replied killing a life in a womb to fill my stomach was not acceptable to me. He asked me how do you know it's alive? I replied how do you know the child in mother's womb is alive but you still take most care of it.
wow its great. blessed you .
Truth deeply, deeply touching and I know. There lies THE key. Thanking You with all my heart. Namasté
Love you 😍
Jeff, shouldn’t we use the words “uncivilised” , “uncultured “ ?
In India, we term someone’s behaviour as “uncivilised “ and “uncultured “ if it’s anti-Dharma principles.
Kabhi hindrishi is a great scholar of Indian culture and a great

The real question in hand is the pain that animal goes through. It's mental horror. Non vegetarian justifies pain to plants having life. Sure there is life there is no central nervous system in them. If we had no pain reception I think it would be a different world altogether. There is reason nature has developed pain reception for evolution. Apathy cannot be justified by ignorance. If there was only regulatory boards that exists in these horror factories of the west. Only then there is some sanity. For time being why can't it be regulated. There has to be humane way to do this until human evolves further or we find laboratory alternative to plant based meat. We are obsorbing too much negativity from nature and it wnt be soft later.
Jeffery ji we are also slowly slowly westernized ourself either we knowingly or unknowingly.

With all do respect going vegetarian, while it is a noble step in the right direction, it is only a half step. To truly embrace ahimsa veganism is the only logical choice.
Fruits, 🌾🙏🌽🍃 Herbs, 🌾Plants,🌾 🌿Roots are de Food of de God's...! 🌲🕊👌🤗
even de Sages, Saints, highly evolved souls- holy men of yore just ate only these...So do we as that enhances top Health & Longevity.🤩🕉👍
Killing sentient animals is very inhuman and immoral...Wonder when will humans ever realize this basic principle of human life...Can't imagine that misery of eating a dead corpse animal on festive evenings!!...I am all for compassion and empathy building a better culture for future generations!!.....Be considerate to those innocent human beings!!
England never conquered anyone. Conquering only seems to have a meaning in the world of duality, but it is an illusion/maya. In true reality, there is no such thing as conquering If anything, the symbol of England was a spiritually deprived state crying out for help from India. Spiritual wisdom conquers all and this jewel emerged from India. The whole world was looking for India- not for its spices, or riches, but for its spiritual wisdom. God is what we are all looking for
LOL. Stop smoking weed padre. You can't shove the well established history under the carpet.
the "vegan wokes" fellows, can somebody explain how to do farming without cattle rearing
Let's be honest, we all should go vegan. Take the first step to stopping dairy as those production harms cows.
Milk = beef
Okay, lets just go one step ahead stop babies from drinking mother's breast milk, we make them into vegan too.
U people believe that milk coming from an organism is non veg, then same logic can be applied to mother's milk
@@19683 Nope. Milk is ok because its not violence. what's the use of education if people cant even understand simple things
@@vigneshmarivada2422 Nope. Milk is ok because its not violence. what's the use of education if people cant even understand simple things
@@animax1034 You are right, in the Information Age ignorance is a crime.

Thank you for promoting vegetarianism and not veganism. Vegetarianism is promoted in Hinduism but not veganism. All Gods incarnations and the gurus all consumed the dairy. veganism is a new age thing and is foreign to India. vegans are preaching veganism in the comments even though you spoke about vegetarianism
But ancient maharishis were following Keto Vegetarianism. They did not eat refined rice or wheat or any other grains.
This is wrong. Ancient Hindu s followed Dharmic vegetarianism.Today, most dairy is adharmic. To be Dharmic, one has to be vegan today.
Veganism is the best quality of being human...
Yes
I love to eat meat 🥩🥩🥩🥩🥩. Nothing can stop me.
Namaste. India takes the first place in exporting beef. What kind of ahimsa is this? Drinking milk is also not a vegetarian habit. Milk is not a veg. It has animal origin. And milking a cow is a violence and stealing. That cow's milk belongs to a calf, not to a man. There's no such term as ahimsa milk. To breed cows one should use violence. Anyway those cows were domesticated. They belong to nature, not to a human. So there was violence to get them from their natural place of living - wild nature. Please, study and think about it. Breeding cows means killing cows, means violent impregnation.
What about the way Cows are treated because of their milk and their babies being killed? You are right but some important is missing.
well its not like that in In an Indian village , the cows are part of the family . lets start with not killing then can reform how dairy is obtained.
Don't be cruel to vegetables. They are also living being!
We eat fruit of plant not plant
Do one thing,send a three year old kid to pluck the vegitables and give knife to cut throat of a goat..you will get your answer...
I eat nonveg too but i know that it's because of me not capable of controlling my senses,my senses control me.. non-vegetarian can't control their urges to eat nonveg..if someone say,i can eat what i want means simple,i am under control of my desire for taste...
The vegetables and fruits do not run away from you when you bring the knife. In fact, the apples fall from the tree inviting you eat.
Do little violence that can co-op with laws of nature.
Violent to vegetables doesnt make you violent to humans
But violent to animals does make you violent to humans.
Infact many series killers start torture animals
Before they go to humans..
I see, from your English, you are from India!
People should do away with Dairy products and switch over to plant based alternatives ; there are plenty to choose from ; if one sees the way animals are treated with very small exceptions, one would involuntarily give up dairy products ; instead, farmers could produce ethanol which is quite lucrative besides being nature friendly and also growing other regular crops organically and to practice hydroponics !
In India the cows are treated with love and affection. Cows are mothers for Indians and are respected
While I respect vegetarians for their balance, restraint, compassion.... human beings are omnivorous and our body and brains and geographical spread have developed because of an omnivorous diet. Herbivores and carnivores have very different body structure, intelligence, survival rate. Never make a mistake of thinking veganism is the way to go. It is a way to balance. Its very good to go vegetarian 2 days a week. Also understand that if you have milk industry, you will have beef industry too. What do you think will happen to 1 billion male calfs?
Obviously, You have not seen vegetarian body builders, have you? Vegetarian food does not have enough protein is a myth propagated by the meat industry.
Nonsense - Reading the old texts Hindus were not vegetarians. Neither was Buddha. Living in India for a number of
years and being vegetarian I developed diabetes. Go back to the golden age of India and find out the truth. There
are a number of Hindu traditions that are not vegetarian and if you actually studied the reality you wouldn't be
spouting this. If you understood Reality you would find that plants are also sentient beings. All here has consciousness.
Wake Up.
Stop posting gibberish. Vegetarians is the only healthy lifestyle
What would you think people would be eating in vedic culture when that culture evolved in Atlantic or in dessert area? So if the creator of this universe have abundantly given food, air, water to people of each and every region per their climatic conditions and, if creator, the supreme living God, didn't differentiate anything and provided us beings all that's required as per the region's specific climatic conditions, what on earth make you to to think that you are above the creator who controls this universe? Why do you relentlessly question creator's authority and understanding when you are just a mortal being. Why do you try to fathom creator's understanding? Do you really think you can fathom the depth of creator's knowledge and understandings?
S. THOMAS - Who is your creator ? How did he create you ? Why ? the purpose and meaning ?
Is your creator LORD YEHOVA ? the Bible God ? Why is he angry ? Why is he jealous ? Why did he constantly threatening you to put in hell fire , if you do not obey him? Then why is he telling you to give daily sacrifice of lamb and bring that blood and spray all around him !!! so that he can enjoy the smell of blood !!! Why your creator is sending pest & pestilance , death and destruction on his
unbelievers ?? Tell us who is your creator ? and about HIM ??
Scientific fact: human system takes exponentially more time and energy to digest meat when compared to leaves and fruits.
@@rajch1196 Lots of questions, but I can answer all of them in you provide me a Ln answer to 1 of my question. Why did Lord Shiva Cut a small. Kid's head coming back after Kailasa? Or why Lord Ram had to hide himself to kill Baali if Ramnis God and Baali is indeed CORRUPT.
@@rajch1196 @raj ch I can tell you all these and more provided you deny any of these aren't there happening on this planet Earth. And when you are seeing those exact things happening on the Earth, why would you not believe in the creator of the entire universe, the living God. What would your parents think would do if you go wayward in your life?
@@vigneshmarivada2422 True, but the creator have created everything in perfect symmetry. Why would you think creator created and assigned people in different continents having extreme climatic conditions such as Atlanta and dessert areas. There they developed eating habits per that climate conditions. Don't you think you have got more knowledge and understanding than the creator itself?
Ghee = Milk = beef
Mother's milk= mother's meat.
What a logic
Nope. Milk and ghee is ok because its not violence, they can survive and feel no pain and we feed them and take care of them in return but not to kill and eat them them. what's the use of education if people cant even understand simple things
@@vigneshmarivada2422 It seems in Marivadas you
1. artificially inseminate your women or have a stud go around, while they are tied to a rape rack
2. Separate babies at birth
3. Milk the women by hand or pump while babies starve
4. Kill males at birth
5. Females go to step one
