I woke up today and realized this is the day I start my vegetarian journey.

I Hope one day everybody would follow vegetarian diet.Very truely she spoke.GOD Bless...

absolutely true. practice corrects my appetite and I eat when I'm hungry and not unnecessarily.

well said . That is why I like yoga . A truly yogi have evolved into love compassion and cause no harm .

respected kino if every human in this universe thinks as you, really this will be a heaven. you are gifted. rare blessing are there with you. there is one shloke in shreemad B'geeta... shuchinam shrimatah gehe... on you.

I just love kino..

Just want to add that I don't believe plants "suffer". Plants often grow much better when they are harvested or pruned. The process of cutting or harvesting is beneficial and is designed this way.

awesome! thank you and let's spread kindness and compassion to all beings :)

I like that part @3:00 about plants have got least part of suffering..low karma effect.Awesome explanation about vegetarian diet..very knowledgeable.

Im really proud of you stay strong 🙋

Sooner or later in the process of introspection in yoga you will experience yourself as the witness of your mind & body and then you will experience yourself as the pure consciousness. The pure consciousness is the expression of the jeeva/living entity/life force. You will then realise the presence of the jeeva in every living entity and you will begin the practice of ahimsa. The yoga teacher doesn't really need to preach this: We can honour the innate wisdom in each of our students and they will see in due course. In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna says "offer me a fruit, flower, leaf or water with devotion and I will accept it." We should offer any veg food we prepare to God as we know Him, before taking ourselves. This is the Vedic method.

That’s the beauty of practicing yoga. Once you start realizing benefits there is no limit to how many different ways it can benefit an individual and people around them. I believe they actually feel and make changes on their own rather than listening to someone.

Thanks for the vid and good energy

Kino is always interesting to listen to

I've lived the past 5 years on a mostly vegetarian diet aside from seafood every week or so, after taking a 10 day vipassana course. What she says resonates a lot with my own thoughts I've had in my own journey.

Your amazing Kino, thank you for this video, I have thought of going vegetarian but I was raised with meat at least once a day as part of my diet... Working with a nutritionist is great advise, idk why I didn't think of that... Thank you, ps I have your Ashtanga book and have been practicing at least 5 days a week at home, sending love and continued success

As other people have said it's much suffering in both the dairy and egg industry. Better then to let all animal products go and be fully plant powered both in life and yoga.

Inspiring! Thank you.

Enjoyed your video!

Its truly kino mam. I like ur yoga

Wonderful ideas! I wish everyone would get blood tests done before and after, so then people understand what going on and working with some kind of health practitioner. Excellent

really interesting. thanks

it is more emotional than health related...yes thank you!!

Kind heart.i am also vegetarian.

Beautiful and wise

Very interesting

I'm a fan of u mam

There are several vegetables that also fit into the symbiotic relationship you mentioned with fruit. Squashes, Cucumbers, Tomatoes (technically fruit), any plant that you can harvest without killing the plant falls into this category. And I agree with your point, if you are killing plant it is much lower on sentient scale. Animals and vegetables are really not comparable in terms of sentience but meat eaters often fall back on this one to justify their behavior.

It's my truth too , for almost 30 years out of my 50. Not 1 day of regret. I'm strong, spirited and proud to run my body on my personal hormones only! 🤩👍

Last year when I started doing yoga this video made me think about vegetarianism, now I'm vegan and feel like it's an integral part of my practice now

I ate a vegetarin diet for years until I developed an allegry to dairy, so extreme that It could kill me. I have tried a vegan diet but felt way to run down. I still have a regular Astanga Practice and totally agree with her statement about feeling your diet in your practice. I eat very little meat, but not sure how to eat a vegetarin diet without dairy for my protein. My search continues.

I'm also vegetarian if people live vegetarian then they are try to control their mind and emotions.if you don't mind but you are so pretty. Keep making video astang yog. Thank you for making videos . I'm from India 🇮🇳 I also do yog but you are too awesome 👌 👏

Been vegetarian for 5 days now, being fun so far trying lots of new things o.o

Even though you are killing a plant, you are minimizing the suffering to the whole living organism.

❤🌊🐬🦋Be great to hear added ideas on getting protein & omega 3 when replacing animal based food ,…

ad for dairy industry before this video is a total disconnect. Dairy is a slaughter industry. veganism is not a restriction.. it is a release ! namaste.

agreed..

so true! if you get to know even just one animal, other than your dog or cat, or whatever companion, they all have feelings and personalities. They feel pain and fear. even if you don't choose to go vegan or vegetarian, at least think about that before you consume anything from an animal.

❤❤

ahimsa ,,,, vegan is the way to go . namaste

When i first became a vegetarian, my acne mostly cleared up within two weeks, my skin became normal instead of oily, i had more energy, and felt better overall 🙃 i want to be vegan but my parents are already giving me a hard time about being vegetarian :(

Ahimsa🙏 you are beautifull from inside out.

In Poland, middle school students that had vegan meals ended up shorter, after a 10 year study. Vegetables do have protein but they're not A class proteins. Always prefer a steak or an egg over lentils.

👍👍

you don't need to pay for a nutritionist.. I want from reading meat 3 times a day in meals to zero over night.. my body's feeling great and I won't be going back.. you just need to be sure of what your doing and doing it for the rite reasons

I have to agree with some of the comments. Going vegan really is the way to go, dairy can make you more sick than meat will. It's been shown in different studies that taking dairy out of cancer patients diets will most of the time result in the cancer going away. Plus the dairy industry is very cruel to their animals for the most part. Eating eggs has always seemed strange to me so I don't have much to say in that regard, I am mostly fruitarian with a decent amount of greens in the mix.

What is breakfast for you 🤔, thanks

wow ---so nicely explained, why to be a vegetarian, vegetables have low consciousness ,of course the meat industry has gone mad, feeding steroid for animals to get fat,fish have high mercury ,chicken are raised in tiny cages all animals raised by factory are fed animal bi product ---everyone knows how the Mad cow disease came about from UK,they were feeding animal fats to cattle,and of course this such diet is not compliable among animals .Anyhow Macgregor​ ---Excellent presentation.Namste to you and all your fans .I am also your fan, though I do not do Yoga ,I hit gym ,and building muscles ,but my Body tells me Yoga .I trien beding to touch my toes ----I failed bad time ,I could only touch my sheens.One day I will have to join a Yoga class

Think about dairy and where it comes from.

I was a strict vegetarian for seven years and my body couldn't do it. I truly need meat. I wonder if that would change as I continue improving my body with yoga?

I’m 57 and I’m a vegetarian. I’m a truck driver and look at the cattle all the time. One follows the other and so on. Poor little things don’t know that one day they will be killed to be some ones food. I know god put them on this earth Maby for this purpose. But I solely enjoy of eating things of something not being killed and there’s also tofu as a substitute for this that is very healthy for you. I’m not no little 90 pound weakling either. 250 pounds of veggie muscles.

Hey Kino .. what is your thoughts on dairy? Cow's milk is for calves not for humans. I appreciate india being mostly vegetarian country, but there is that other side of the story which no one will tell you or sadly realize that beef is the byproduct of milk industry. So you haven't reduced suffering if you are still eating butter, milk , dairy products. Please ponder. Thanks 🙏

It's perfectly easy to be a fruitarian. I feel lighter and stronger.

My friend once told me, "if I can't kill it myself, why would I eat it?" And that stuck with me. I have tried time and time again to go veg but failed. I think it's a lot of not knowing what to eat instead of meat. Right now, I only eat chicken. I haven't had red meat in almost 2 months. But I don't know how to make the complete jump.

I'd argue fish have feelings of the ocean. The sea is also alive and do you get it, everything that lives in it feels what it feels. But because animals don't have self-reflection, they live directly from feeling, which would be a great argument for that animals aren't conscious.. And also one point, coprophilic mushroom ought to be, or at least is very close to fallen fruit.

When prunning trees or taking Them away , it didnt matter how Well i did my job , i Can prune trees better than Nature , allthough some times there was a depression came after doing the job , the tree didnt feel it , the enviroment was changed , the Wind now blew differently , it was more Spiritual as if that tree or trees were loved so much by ? There came a very strong saddness , It cant be explained some people are just more plugged in 🙏

OMG I have these thoughts too. Warning once you being junk food will make you sick!

I wonder why Kino does not mention this far more important reason for vegetarianism/vegan lifestyle... the only way to save self AND planet; by helping the planet we can help ourselves...

Kids learn this in Year 2 as 7 yr olds. For goodness sake.

Suffering is part of life. But it is each persons choice how much suffering they cause. But remember most people in the world eat anything they can, because they are starving. Having the choice in what you eat is a very rare and only applies to the wealthy.

Its not just meat, there is lots of suffering in the diary industry too....go fruitarian :-)

I'm a vegetarian, recently I was considering going vegan someone made a solid point that confused me .... most things we use today include some form of animal by product in them, one that he showed me was some car tyres use some form of animal product now surely all vegans driving around with these tyres are causing suffering?, also I own a couple of hens they lay eggs I eat them but I don't see this as suffering as they will only go to waste, what are peoples views on this?.

The saddest reality is that India which once valued vegetarianism, now is becoming more of a fast food meat eating nation. We in India might have to relearn vegetarianism from the west the way we are now relearning yoga.

Sometimes i think that i should steal your thoughts.

If you do specific pranayama and sun gazing then you don't have to eat anything

My brother-in-law who is an omnivore came home one day & suddenly died. Sadly, I think it's because he eats lots of meat & wheat.

You can say plants have feelings, but I don't know If they have brains or something similar. Sure there living. But isn't the reason humans feel or any animal at all because he have brains (emotional feeling, not physical). I haven't looked it up so I can't really say, but this is my own opinion. I'm also not a vegetarian/vegan but I'm curious what it's like. This is just something i felt nit picky about. feel free to disagree.

Our skull or forehead is capable of converting the mucous in our head to nourish the body by performing certain types of pranayama and sun gazing this type yoga is lost now. It was performed earlier by rishis to live for thousand of years

I have many friends that have this diet but and I respect them it's their opinion but they always say we were made to eat vegetables or something along those line but not every vegetarian say that but I ask myself this "If we were made to eat vegetables then why were we made to eat meat and gain nutrients from it" when we eat meat others say that it is bad you are eating a life but that's the circle of life wolves eat deer so should we make wolves stop eating deer and other animals. I say we were made to eat both meat and plants but that's my opinion and a lot of science goes into both sides but you do you.

Plants have feelings too is one of the most stupid arguments... first of all, how can somebody care about plants while eating meat? And for 1 kg meat you need like 16 kg of plants.

I don't even kill plants. Being vegetarian is not a big deal. Veganism is more of concerns, but still 100% OK with intelligent (not emotional) attitude.

Being vegetarian is not enough. Dairy and eggs are deeply rooted in suffering and if we consume suffering we will suffer with dietry problems. The only way to honour Ahimsa is to be fully vegan. ✌🏽🥑💚

Well, I've been a vegetarian for over seven years now. I don't like the taste of meat, or the texture of it, and eating something that used to be something's muscle doesn’t sound good to me either. But I always say that yes, if you do want to eat meat - well, eat it. Your body is precious and wise and if you feel that it needs the meat, give it what it is asking for.

I really wish the people who made these videos would focus their camera :/

plants are living thing not a living being & animals have soul they are living being... that's difference between plant & animal

What is a cow, really???

fym where do chicken breast come from ? of course they kill animals for food who didn't know it came from a death of an animal

Milk and ghee recommendation in scriptures where done in India thousands of years ago and there the cows are sacred. Hurry up and investigate this , so you start practising real Ahimsa

what is a TUUUURKEY

time to go vegan !

what about milk extraction, do you know how is done????? If you consume dairy products you are still unaware of the great suffering you are supporting. INVESTIGATE AND SOON

eat / drink nothing with a face OR that came from something with a face.. simple.. #VEGAN

yeah I used to eat meat because I thought that I had to in order to survive, what a horrible lie, I feel much better on a vegan diet, I don't like eggs or dairy either, the consumption of eggs interferes with the natural cycle of life & dairy is actually bad for us though many people are not aware of that thanks to propaganda, I think people around the world are finally starting to realise the enormous negative karma that has resulted from the mass murder of cattle, of course some people still stubbornly refuse to admit what is happening in the world, and I totally agree that killing trees still counts as murder but the fruits, vegetables, chic peas, nuts, legumes, lentils, beans are all gifts from the earth, I do also eat seeds but would be better not to because like eating eggs, the consumption of seeds also interferes with the natural cycle of life, seeds should be scattered over the ground, some people say that plants also have feelings, I think plants like everything are receptive and responsive to frequencies, every emotion we project also carries frequencies so we can project hate or love into out surroundings, plants and water will often respond to these frequencies a lot faster than rocks and more solid objects, so yes we can literally cause plants to live or die purely by thinking about how much we love or hate the plants, and that's also true for people, we can literally project depression and anxiety or joy and peace into other people, that's why we need to be careful how much time we spend with negative people

then go veganNNN

Meat now comes from a laboratory

Go Vegan better
