JKYog presents an eye-opening lecture by Swami Mukundananda on vegetarian diet vs non vegetarian diet. Many of us have questions or doubts about the choice of foods we eat. Is or why vegetarian is good choice or not. Many are trying to understand the consequences of meat-eating or non-vegetarian diet etc.
Swami Mukundananda in this amazing lecture explains, with references to Vedic scriptures, that it is a choice that an individual has to make based on the goals and aspirations he/she has. Every choice has consequences attached.
The Hindu religion makes you aware of the consequences of your actions. While it does not forbid you from meat eating but it tells you the consequences of meat-eating. The Bhagavad Gita talks about three kinds of foods. There are foods in the mode of ignorance, foods in the mode of passion and foods in the mode of goodness.
Foods in the mode of goodness: foods that God has naturally created for us. The vegetables, fruits, the grains, cow milk etc.. When you eat these, your body becomes healthy, the mind becomes calm and peaceful and your inner-being becomes conducive to enlightenment. You experience peace.
These same foods, when cooked with the idea of gratifying the palette, or in other words, using too many chilies, too much sugar etc. to enjoy the food - it is termed foods in the mode of passion. This inflames the material desires and sends the mind into a spin. The person becomes agitated.
Then there are foods in the mode of ignorance - dry foods, stale and putrified foods, intoxicating foods and all the non-vegetarian foods. When we take these it increases our anger, inclination towards violence. The darkness envelopes our soul. Whatever we eat will have a consequence on our mind and body. Noble thinkers across the world have naturally gravitated towards vegetarian diet. Leonardo Da Vinci, George Bernard Shaw, early Buddhists - several examples are there. Slowly the western world and science is also coming to a realization. It is a medical fact that meat-eaters have a 200% higher chance of catching cancer compared to non-meat eaters. Why is that? meat putrifies very quickly. The carnivorous animals have small length of their intestines. Our teeth structure is also molars vs. carnivorous animals who have incisive teeth. The teeth motion is also different - grinding vs. vertical biting. Biologically, we humans were made to be herbivorous. Nevertheless, the Vedic scriptures say it is a choice you make based on your goals and aspirations are!
