Thank you for this insightful discussion. Always a pleasure to hear Gurudev & amazed by the transformation he has brought in countless lives across the globe through the power of his Sudarshan Kriya & meditation!
Thank you so much, Amy, for this enlightening conversation with Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. You covered a range of thought-provoking topics, including whether a meat eater can be spiritual, the ethical dimensions of animal sacrifice, and the implications of veganism. You also explored the health benefits of traditional Indian diets, the impact of meat consumption on karma, and the nuances of Jainism's approach to non-violence. Gurudev’s insights provided a deep and balanced perspective on these complex issues. I’m grateful for the opportunity to delve into such meaningful discussions on your TH-cam Channel.
There was a time when this guy used to smoke a beedi near chamrajpet, Bangalore .heard this from my forensic med professor .Apparently there was a plan to get him to my college for a yoga day. Him being the Dean of the college at that time, he strictly opposed his and said the above as his reason to justify as he had known this guy long before he became a saint
Amy, your decision to bring Gurudev on the podcast was a brilliant move. His insights into spirituality and dietary choices were profoundly enlightening. The discussion on vegetarianism and its impact on our spiritual and ethical lives was particularly thought-provoking. Thank you for facilitating such a deep and nuanced conversation!
Gurudev wants everyone to be more aware- but he is himself not that sensitive to the cruel practices of the dairy industry and for perhaps winning audience acceptance encouraged butter and milk during Janmashtami. Gurudev should also see the documentary "ma ka doodh""
Cows are found as pets in most of the villages in India and we keep them well. Most people in India, especially Hindus, Sikhs and Jains, respect nature as well as animals. 
Go and see for urself how true your statement is. We are raising them and breeding them for our use and once they stop yielding milk, they are silently sent away. See how the male calves are treated. U are making idealistic statements without getting into details
Our challenges are: people dont care about what happens behinds dairy industry. Plant based products like milk ,icecream ,curd are costly Many vegeterians are more difficult to convince for vegan than a non vegeterian. Religious people :Krishna drank milk .Many saints drank milk etc as if they have seen how the cows from commercialised milk, is bought are treated.

We unfortunately don’t get much if any b-12 from the soil as it currently stands according to multiple studies. Test your b-12 levels and if you’re low you can supplement easily.
It's not good to generalize to all Jains because you might have witnessed it in few instances (correcting it is better than blaming them which worsens the cause you are putting your efforts in). As a community they adhere to non-violence on animals much better than most of us.
Vegans don't need validation from anyone, whether a guru or not. Our own conscience is the best guide. Those of us who know, we know. Those who don't will never know. Everything you've spoken and mentioned here is 💯%✅. Don't seek validation! 🙏🙏
The universe slapped me upside down with a nickel allergy. Nickel is very high in beans, lentils, green leafy vegetables, nuts, seeds, spices, etc. Plant based diets can cause problems too.
😄nice try, 😄😄You have about 20.000 edible plants species. It is impossible not to "find" a few Ni free to feed yourself. Only if you are not willing to.Like eating from an organic garden. Give me a break 😄
@18:22 he is giving example of mighty herbivores eating grass so it also contradicates his own statement of consuming dairy for vitamin B 12. Bulls and horses don't consume milk they only eat grass yet they are strong
Veganism is for Americans.. Vegetarianism for Indians... Dairy is an industry in America, But in india every household in every village have cows.. In America a calf is removed immediately after birth to get all the milk for sale... But in india the calf stays with the cow, the milk is extracted from the cow after the calf has been fed sufficiently... In america cow's are live stock for commercial purpose.. But in india cows & bulls are part of the family, given names, called by their names, treated as family members..
Yes, maybe in villages, how about cities/metropolitan areas? Did you know in 2023, India exported more beef than USA. Why is that? When large population uses dairy products, cows can be only milked for certain time, then they are sent to slaughter houses, same is happening in India. BTW, watch TH-cam documentary “maa ka doodh”
hey, i did not really wanted to comment but just a question, The Bull used to be part of Agriculture but a tractor replaced it so Bulls are useless and are being part of meat now, earlier they had full milk from their mother cow so they be strong and work good in fields. So lets get back to Cows. I people in India started becoming Vegans. So on, Cows are useless then and no one would ever go to care after them. Where the cows would go and what are the plans for them? Please explain if you any preplanned Idea on that. Thanks
The cow is often revered as a mother figure in many cultures, and its byproducts are utilized in various ways. Cow dung is traditionally used in rituals and for purification, while cow urine is valued in Ayurveda for its medicinal properties. Profiting from the killing of cows and calves is widely considered unethical and a sin. However, consuming cow milk, provided the calf is adequately fed, is generally accepted. As cows age, it becomes our responsibility to care for them with respect and compassion.😊
Our food system is designed based on millions of years of practical hereditary experience.. it's more scientific & most suitable for our native environment, our food system has withstood the test of time.. Whereas veganism is a new concept started in the USA hardly a couple of decades ago, it is just an experiment being tried out, it has to face trials, at least for a century... Only then can people decide based on its results.. Till then veganism will be tried in USA only.. We in India don't need it... We have our food system, multiple systems for every climate & geography.. Different diets for people doing different professions, for different lifestyle , for different age, for different circumstances, for different seasons...
Veganism is absolutely healthy and no issues of b12 if your biome is fine and kicking. I am a vegan for last ten years and eat plants legumes and fruits and not fussy about anything. My health is ok and all reports are normal even b12 and d 3 and haemoglobin are normal. Guys it's all in the mind.
Amy, if you have such strong opinion of your choices and are closed to different viewpoint, why you woul dask the question and not be open to accepting the response on being a vegan. It is very disrespectful to give your take in the middle of podcast and affirm your stand. This is very disrespectful and shows your arrogance even if you drape in very sweet words with sweet tone.
1. Plants also have life. 2. Conservation in Nature is very important for which one has to control the population of animals. This means, animals may have to be killed. 3. Basically, meat is expensive and in india everyone cannot afford it. 4. Meat is a good source of protein and fat. 5. Earlier, even eating eggs was also a taboo. 6. A spiritual person naturally shuns eating red meat. 7. Chicken is one of the most popular meat in the world. It's a good source of protein.
Not necessarily, I have seen even rich people going for meat once a week in India. And they avoid it in some holy months and festivals. It’s a different world than western hemisphere
1. Plants are not sentient. And a vegan eats less plants than flesh eaters or non vegans. Where do you think the flesh of animal comes from?? Form eating shit load of plants. And it's atleast 1:5 ratio 2. The animals you eat are genetically and artificially bred into existence. So please do not give this fake talk of animals have to be killed. Humans are destroying nature the most, any take on that?? You don't live in jungles. So let the jungle take care of itself. 3. Meat is heavily subsidised, and even then it's expensive 4. Meat, especially red and processed meat is a leading risk factor for cancer especially colon cancer. Increased risk of heart disease from Saturated fat and cholesterol, high bp and diabetes. 5. It is nothing to do about taboo, who gives a shit about taboo and my culture allows. It's about not harming innocent beings. 6. A spritual person lives with love and shuns all forms of violence, hence goes vegan. 7. Chicken is a living sentient being who goes through humongous suffering when alternatives are easily available.
U are assuming that in Gaushalaas cows are happy. Please see the pathetic condition of many of these. Open ur eyes and see, instead of speaking at a surface level without getting into details. Pls see documentary "ma ka doodh"as mentioned in this several times.
Promoting well-managed gaushalas, like the one at the Art of Living Ashram, is a commendable initiative. However, this responsibility should be embraced by those who are selfless and compassionate. It should be undertaken as a form of seva, rather than as a commercial venture. 😊
Veganism is kind of extreme. We need certain animal products, like curd and ghee, which are beneficial for us. It's about taking care of ourselves while causing the least harm to other living beings. India is the 3rd largest exporter of beef--yes while of Hindu's dont eat beef, there are other communities in India which eat meat and there is no stopping them.
Is the Cow/Buffalo slaughter okay just because Hindus are not eating? As much as I know very few 'other communities' have a cow/buffalo then who is selling their animals to slaughter houses? Why are our animals going through the pain of artificial insemination and oxytocin injections?
No you dont need animal products anymore, there are plant based alternatives for everything including plant based vegan ghee and curd you can check it all out. I consume plant based Milk, cheese, ghee, butter, ice cream, chocolates, etc regularly making the swap a few years back and have never felt better in my life.
@@237iggythe plant based alternatives are all lacking and the others come from extremely processed shit quality factory. I went vegan for a 3 years, tested out on oat milk and my health degraded real bad I had to switch to natural milk and ghee.
12:20 he's wrong.. it's not js the co2 we exhale, what about co2 emitted by us using fuels, by the food we consume .. it goes way more than planting 108 trees to balance out. I hope he thinks deeper than that.
How to encourage people to choose vegetarianism? ???? Say - Act SELFISH! Turn into a vegetarian! Saves, life, sattva, money ....& builds good intuition, improves quality of meditation.... (& add) Of course Non Veg is also 'healthy', just take care in case of bird flu & swine flu!!! ( See!! ) 😂😂❤❤😂😂
The greatest spiritual master from india who traveled the world preaching indian spiritual teachings : swami vivekananda used to smoke drink and eat meat
@namip9892 for heaven's sake ... rama krishna paramahansa was even a more meat lover than vivekananda ... he is on record claiming many times fish was is favorite...don't believe me then Google it .. everyone is not going approach spirituality like a north indian vegetarian virgin
@Bhruguraj “The greatest spiritual [...] drink and eat meat” ===================== That is a good point. BUT you do realise Hindutvaists will make the bogus claim that Vivekananda and Ramakrishna Paramahamsa were vegetarians and/or vegans, don't you?
@namip9892 “His own Guru Ramakrishna [...] LEGEND was vegetarian” ====================== Believing the Hindutvaist version (i.e., a bogus version) of history, you are.
Veganism is imp, cos we can live without dairy. And in today’s world we cannot get organic products even in dairy. Moreover in case you want to keep up with the milk, introduce the idea of having your own goshala in which you don’t harm the Cows/Bulls but take care of them as well as consume their milk only when cows are having a child by their own choice. In this way you don’t harm anyone as well as create good karma.
@sakshidoiphode6611 “Veganism is imp [...] as create good karma.” ======================= If you are TRULY kind towards animals, be so WITHOUT expecting any thing in return (i.e. without expecting the creation of supposed good karma). There is no verifiable evidence, no credible evidence that karma actually exists.
@@ex.hindu.now.atheist just because you don't know about karma omg lol you are writing here that there is no evidence. Dude go get a life. I really feel very sad for you. Your life must be so pathetic I don't know who hurt you but I will pray for you 🥴
27:37 The best line of this Podcast for Vegans. Some vegans are questioning Ravishankar's understanding about dairy but I am 1000% sure that he know everything about cruelty in dairy. But he will never accept that due to his fan following, only the spiritual and followers of truth can stand with facts. He has not guts to do so nor he understands the essence of Geeta, he is just using Geeta as a tool to influence people.
Geeta is not a tool it's an answer to the way of life and amy is fully influenced by western media to follow veganism blindly without understanding our country's Veda and Puran.
@VICKYBAVAL “Human's have choice [...] not harming animals” ===================== You have a highly romanticised, imaginary, utopian image of rural India in your head, my friend.
I think there is a common problem with most of the Indian Gurus, they are abstaining from veganism because of fear of loosing followers, and that’s pretty sad. Being vegetarian is not sufficient, indirectly you are incurring lot of bad karma, as all dairy animals are eventually killed for meat. Please have courage to be the change.
Food is our country available resources if you born four claimate you can enjoy veg, if you born two claimate you have to eat non veg because its your born location deciding ஃஃஃ❤
The definition of dairy that you have in your mind is completely different than what it is in India. In my enter life we have all dairy product produce in my own farm and for your information the farmers never sell the cow and animal they let them die through age. And this true 80% of India. The meat which is scaled for buiness is never accepted in local India. Even in metropolitan city you will get good protected cow milk. Don’t bring the image of or definition of milk that exist in US to India. We love animals you should travel to country side and work in ground reality rather then just believing in false internet theories . Also when gurudev wasnt misleading he was addressing in Hindi that mean its specifically for Indian when he said vegan is extreme . With many such consideration the cellphone the clothes and many other product you are using are produce in extreme labour forces.
This is for will protected cows . IF MILK is not removed pressure builds up which eventually stops the secretion so that no more milk is produced. If the cow is producing very little (less than 5 kg/day) when milking stops there are no problems; this is the normal way of 'drying off'. If the cow has recently calved and is producing a lot of milk then the pressure would be exceedingly uncomfortable and infection could occur.
I can guarantee that you misunderstood guruji. Milk is not violent if extracted after feeding babys. You should encourage people to get away from pasteurized and processed milk - and buy organically produced milk.
No amount of justification can mask the fact that taking innocent lives for human desires is inherently wrong. Im a Vegan and an animals rights activist.
@‘Kindness With Amy’ You are lowering your credibility by relying on charlatans like Double Mr Ravi Shankar. He clearly has no clue (or is wantonly making misleading claims) about Shaktism and Tantric philosophical claims when he says that no where in the Hindu scriptures is animal sacrifice permitted (5:29 onwards). Also, he has no clue about the Abrahamic scriptures in this regard-or he is again being disingenuous.
@@ex.hindu.now.atheist there is no evidence to support this barbaric activity that you are promoting. Go grow a real brain first. God is an embodiment of compassion and love for all.
I challenge you to listen to Acharya Prashant or Swami Vivekananda or Jiddu Krishnamurti for 30 days then you can get the essence of Vedanta other these false things of so called Hinduism will keep you away from the True knowledge of Geeta. Real adhyatma is to see everything scientifically without any biases.

He has not guts to do so nor he understands the essence of Geeta, he is just using Geeta as a tool to influence people.
Geeta is not a tool it's an answer to the way of life and amy is fully influenced by western media to follow veganism blindly without understanding our country's Veda and Puran.
Human's have choice always always in villages cow's or any animal is connected with God in Hinduism so 90 % farmers in india are not harming animals
@VICKYBAVAL
“Human's have choice [...] not harming animals”
=====================
You have a highly romanticised, imaginary, utopian image of rural India in your head, my friend.
@@ex.hindu.now.atheist who is paying you to specifically target all the comments and spread your evil thoughts. 💩
I think there is a common problem with most of the Indian Gurus, they are abstaining from veganism because of fear of loosing followers, and that’s pretty sad. Being vegetarian is not sufficient, indirectly you are incurring lot of bad karma, as all dairy animals are eventually killed for meat. Please have courage to be the change.
Food is our country available resources if you born four claimate you can enjoy veg, if you born two claimate you have to eat non veg because its your born location deciding ஃஃஃ❤
The definition of dairy that you have in your mind is completely different than what it is in India.
In my enter life we have all dairy product produce in my own farm and for your information the farmers never sell the cow and animal they let them die through age.
And this true 80% of India. The meat which is scaled for buiness is never accepted in local India. Even in metropolitan city you will get good protected cow milk.
Don’t bring the image of or definition of milk that exist in US to India.
We love animals you should travel to country side and work in ground reality rather then just believing in false internet theories .
Also when gurudev wasnt misleading he was addressing in Hindi that mean its specifically for Indian when he said vegan is extreme .
With many such consideration the cellphone the clothes and many other product you are using are produce in extreme labour forces.
This is for will protected cows .
IF MILK is not removed pressure builds up which eventually stops the secretion so that no more milk is produced. If the cow is producing very little (less than 5 kg/day) when milking stops there are no problems; this is the normal way of 'drying off'. If the cow has recently calved and is producing a lot of milk then the pressure would be exceedingly uncomfortable and infection could occur.
I can guarantee that you misunderstood guruji. Milk is not violent if extracted after feeding babys. You should encourage people to get away from pasteurized and processed milk - and buy organically produced milk.

No amount of justification can mask the fact that taking innocent lives for human desires is inherently wrong.
Im a Vegan and an animals rights activist.
True animal sacrifices should be banned .very sad such innocent animals are killed for food . They trust the humans and humans decieve them.
In today's day and age, of you u aren't an ethical Vegan, you aren't spiritual at all! Gurudev needs to update a little!
Ye murktha Hai bhai. Keep it shut and get the hell out, and you know where you will find the religion of peace
Your moral policing him,, for just one mistake.
Analyzing thru American lens... Wrong basis!!!
agr non meat eater rapist and scammer ho skte hai 🤡 toh non veg waale spritual ho skte hai...
but spirituality ka defination sbka alg ho skta hai...
My respect for him decreased after his very selfish and uneducated remark about veganism.
Hinduism must renounce dairy extremism. These Gurus are just openly hypocrites.

“Gurudev ki aisi ki taisi”
=====================
Double Mr Ravi boi is a charlatan dev, not a guru dev.
@‘Kindness With Amy’
You are lowering your credibility by relying on charlatans like Double Mr Ravi Shankar.
He clearly has no clue (or is wantonly making misleading claims) about Shaktism and Tantric philosophical claims when he says that no where in the Hindu scriptures is animal sacrifice permitted (5:29 onwards).
Also, he has no clue about the Abrahamic scriptures in this regard-or he is again being disingenuous.
@@ex.hindu.now.atheist there is no evidence to support this barbaric activity that you are promoting. Go grow a real brain first. God is an embodiment of compassion and love for all.
No there is no meat eating in tantra.
Geeta padho chapter 2 ek bar
I challenge you to listen to Acharya Prashant or Swami Vivekananda or Jiddu Krishnamurti for 30 days then you can get the essence of Vedanta other these false things of so called Hinduism will keep you away from the True knowledge of Geeta.
Real adhyatma is to see everything scientifically without any biases.
😂😂 bro relax he is not confirming to your options but don't judge him like it's the birthright of every individual
