Beautiful, I filled my heart with love by providing this information in such humble, graceful and authentic manner. It was peaceful to listen to you. :)
As I became more spiritually awake, before knowing this information, I naturally started to get very uncomfortable around animal products and felt most drawn to a vegan diet. Have been eating this way for a year now and am constantly gaining enlightenment and happiness💖
You were, until a certain point where you needed heavy foods due to a lack of nutrition. Its the same story with all vegans/vegetarians. It's one of those things that sounds great in a video until you actually have to implement it for long periods of time, where it inevitably fails.
@@luckyluke5614 I am not vegan, but I prefer to follow Ayurvedic principles. Right now I am on day 9 of a fasting protocol. With time, you can train the body to survive on lighter foods. This is done through intelligent fasting. After the fast I eat as I like. I don't eat meat, because my body no longer requires it. But it still needs cheese, milk, and honey. In a year or two, this may no longer be the case.
@@danielokeeffe5848 that is cool and intresting. I am 16 myself and i tried fasting but my parents say its unhealthy so they force me to eat. I really would like to fast for a long time but i need to have patience. Can you tell me more about your experience with intelligent fasting?
@@luckyluke5614 hmmm, well I could talk forever really, but it would be a waste of words🥰. Try a 7 day ayurvedic diet - no meat, eggs, cheese, caffeine, carbs, onion, or garlic. Skip breakfast or just have a piece of fruit and have a small meal around noon (porridge, steamed veg, an Indian Dahl, vegetable soup) and a small meal around 6 (same choice as above).The idea is to eat pure foods that digest easily. If you think it's too rough add a SMALL amount of brown rice. Every 3 months do this fast. It's reasonable with a load of benefits, and will prime you for further fasts. In 3/4 years when you start to combine yoga, meditation, and pranayana with your juice fasts, you"ll go super Saiyan. But right now is preparation stage.
Suppose you eat something that increases your desire to masturbate. So you will know for future - it is wrong food for you, right? Now you eat vegetarian diet that increases your desire to meditate And from now you became food-dependent chasing one desire and running away another desire. Is not the point to became free of desires? Is it matter what type of desire (desires of body of meat or desires of body of mind)?
@Dan M7 we respect your beliefs and understand your not ready to accept ours but we hope you see the truth soon brother. We become what we eat and absorb energy from food not just "nutirents". The animals that you kill to eat experience suffering and trauma, that maybe on different levels depending on whether they live in unnatural conditions or naturally ones. But when they finally have their life taken they do experience suffering. And so you are consuming death and suffering so you will become death and suffering. And as result of taking a life, life will be taken from you.
@Dan M7 Ok brother. If I see an animal I do not want or feel the need to chase it and stick my teeth into it like all other animals that eat meat. However if I come across a berry bush or apple tree I cannot resist myself. There are plenty of vegans,vegetarians, fruitarians in the world but your beliefs, desires and parasites in your gut have have you blind. Heck theres even people living off only air alone. The health industry, big pharma and food industry are the same industry. They tell you what your "nutritional" needs are and you buy the product which eventually makes you sick so you then pay for healthcare. It's not a conspiracy its business. Get your head out your arse and see what's going on. Your running and old program it's time to change, grow and stop living in a logical scientific box.
Please eat quietness Please eat love Please make your body your best friend and avoid hurting it Every moment can be a feast of life Get to know your body and work to unplug from the forces of the day
I became a vegetarian because I felt like it was the right thing to do, I couldn’t understand why but this video explains it. A meatless diet makes me feel more at peace with myself. For the last week I have been going through a transformation. I stopped eating meat a week ago (I’m on and off with this diet) but now I am meditating everyday, speaking gratitude, affirmations and exercising in the morning and at night. This video really opened up my eyes to how energy works. When I used to eat meat I would feel tired, no motivation and sleepy. I was on that static energy. But since I’ve stopped eating meat I feel more aware and awake. Thank you for this amazing video. ❤️
Vegan, plant based, whole foods diet is much better for consciousness in my experience :) No matter how the dairy is sourced it has more negatives than positives. Cows milk is designed for cow calves and is not optimal for human consumption. Besides, there is so many healthier, more ethical plant based milks out there!
From ancient times Yogis have found Whole Milk from a well treated cow to have sattvic properties, but if you don't like milk then by all means don't drink it! Namaste
Abdullah Shameem: I totally agree with you. Cows are so abused and treated with such disrespect (so are chickens, pigs, goats, sheeps, etc.) it's unbelievable. What is so disgusting about dairy products is how the dairy industry tries to convince people that their milk, yogurt, cheese, etc., comes from "happy cows," and nothing could be further from the truth. That cow is treated like a modern-day slave, is artificially inseminated, is forced to go through hell to give birth to that calf, only to have a sociopath steal her baby and slaughter it for veal. As if that wasn't brutal enough--now that poor mother cow is forced to give her milk away for free so that humans can consume it. How many human mothers out there would want that to happen to them? And would they be "happy humans?" We live in such a sick world, and a 'lack of empathy' seems to be the driving force.

In Sanatana Dharma, since every animal is treated with kindness, respect and love, borrowing milk from a domesticated animal has never been seen as violating any rules and regulation of nature. The proper way it was handled was to feed the calves first and you take the excess. Milk is milk, may it be from a dog, or from a cat or from a human. You could feed a dog, milk from a cow. And the good thing is, even though a dog drinks cow milk, it will not change that dog into a cow. We don't milk cats and dogs because of the volume of milk, plus the taste. Cows, buffaloes and goats give adequate milk even after they have fed their babies. Nothing is wrong in the process. But Veganism (a cult), has overdone this process of borrowing food from nature and have forced people into believing weird things. A bear in the wild eats honey, so if humans eat honey, what is wrong with that as long as you are not killing the bees.
@@mailarrives - Wow, you've obviously never seen cows (and other farm animals) being abused on factory farms--you sound incredibly ignorant. And please tell me...just how does one "borrow" milk from a cow? And how do you return the milk....do you plan to pump your own milk, or steal a mother goat's milk to return to the cow? Then you'll be indebted to the goat. Gee, what a vicious cycle, when you could be drinking plant-based milk such as almond, soy, cashew, rice, oat, quinoa, etc., which is far healthier for you. And you won't need to harm another to satisfy your appetite. I can see wanting to steal another sentient being's milk if you were living in a remote area of the world and food was scarce--but that's not the case here, and you do have many other options. Do the research. And as far as veganism being a "cult," nice try...but you won't get very far with that argument, since we care about how animals are treated. In a cult, everyone is brainwashed into believing that what is bad for them is actually good--and everyone is gaslighted. In addition, people at the top "control" those at the bottom--and those at the bottom can't think for themselves. I think for myself--and I don't believe in harming another to satisfy my hunger, thirst, or ego.
don't become vegetarian, vegan or raw foodist just because you've heard that these diets have a higher vibration. focus on increasing your vibration from the inside-out through practicing more awareness and a forgiving, loving attitude towards yourself. that in and of itself will help you be more and more nourished on a purely energetic level (without food). then the transition to lighter diets will happen automatically and intuitively. if you force yourself to these ways of eating before you're ready (most people still require meat because their energy/consciousness is in a denser place) in hopes to reach higher consciousness you'll sooner or later run into deficiencies. I've been on both ends of the spectrum (two years vegan, 2-3 months carnivore) and I can tell you; your diet is mostly a REFLECTION of your energy, not the cause of it. like I said before, if you're in the process of raising your consciousness and cleaning your emotional body, changing your diet comes naturally and will simply be of support for your shift in consciousness and not the leading cause of it.
SO well said. This illuminates the attempt to use masculine energy to force our way to feminine embodiment, trying to use external and concrete shifts to effect internal revolution rather than letting both dance together. It has actually taken me a while to come to terms with this and begin releasing the disjointed and unfullfilling attempt to coerce myself into a higher vibration. I no longer resonate with the "moral" argument for veganism anymore either - or morals of any kind really. I still experience and process remnants of judgment occasionally, but deep in my heart I don't resent anyone for their choices even if they are aware enough to make "better" ones, because that's the same thing as resenting their Essence itself. All anything is ever about is current state of alignment relative to the individual. Thanks for sharing your thoughts 🧡🙏
well said friend, find what works forget what the masses are doing . my cognitive function is at a higher level when cholesterol is taken in, most cannot thrive without it a vegan diet will not serve most optimally long term
Very wise words from all of you. I’ve tried “being good” and making myself from the outside in. It’s true that following your intuition will lead you to the peace within yourself. It’s hard going through the pain we have stored in our bodies but deep down we know it’s worth it. ❤️
Vibrant Void to change your consciousness one can look at videos of factory farms and slaughter houses and understand the suffering they are bringing into their bodies, that is if all they care about are themselves. If they possess any empathy and compassion that will be enough incentive to get them on the right path. One of the founders of PETA, Alex was on a cross country trip and his friend who he was traveling with worked in a slaughter house and needed to stop in on the way cross country, Alex at the time a flesh eater went in with him and from that day on never ate meat again. Soon after he became one of the founders of PETA. That will change your vibrational level rather quickly.
I just recently quitted coffee, candies, chips and ice cream from my diet. especially happy and proud of quitting coffee, cuz it has affected VERY positively on my energy levels. when i drank it it took me an hour just to wake up with the coffee, and I got painfully tired just in few hours again, needing to drink coffee throughout the day and still feeling constantly tired. Now without my morning starts with meditation and workout and for most of the days I feel energetic til the night. can warmly recommend this to everyone - coffee creates need for itself.
We are really less conscious of our quality of diets and indiscriminately eat whatever is palatable to our tastes. Vegetarianism is definitely very suitable for our holistic health and evolution. Swamiji is a great monk and health expert. We have learned many lessons from his teaching.
It’s weird that humans drink another animals milk... it’s not natural and when I speak my opinion about this others get offended. That milk was meant for the cows baby not for humans.
Such a beautiful person. We have to understand where is sbd coming from, the background, the age, the society/environment he grew up and take all factors into account, before we judge. If we go back in time we will see some Greek philosophers who were consuming dairy too, which for their level of consciousness and mental state it was ok, but this doesn't mean that this is the optimum, the most right thing or the most efficient for the body. In my opinion, not harming/exploiting any form of life is the ideal, since it is not a matter of survival. Everybody is in a different stage, I think we have to be open to progress without rejecting.
Namaskar Dada Shiila, You're beautiful and wonderful Human Being. You're really a true Mystic. Seeker of Truth. You explanation of Sentient Diet is very clear and scientific. i begin to understand it clearly. Thank you very much for your knowledge that you imparted to me because almost all the things that here in this world I do not Know. I know nothing about everything. Hoping to see you again in Manila by Baba's grace. In Him Arun
I ate mushrooms one time and realized I was all of it .its true that you can actually put your love into the food you create and notice the subtle undertones of the food you created . Love to love it .
Pranama Guruji! Nicely explained, very informative! Sri Bhagavan said, "The splendor of the sun, which dissipates the darkness of this whole world, comes from Me. And the splendor of the moon and the splendor of fire are also from Me. I enter into each planet, and by My energy they stay in orbit. I become the moon and thereby supply the juice of life to all vegetables. I am the fire of digestion in the bodies of all living entities, and I join with the air of life, outgoing and incoming, to digest the different kinds of foodstuff..." BG 15.12.14
Hey, if you're still having issues, an all fruit diet may be of use. Mix in a huge salad with Non-Starchy veggies if you're craving something not sweet. Maybe some nuts and seeds too.
seems like many people do not understand this video. let me make it clear. Sattvic, Rajasic and Tamasic food categories were designed over 10000 yrs ago by the inhabitants of Indus Valley civilization (right about during the time agriculture was discovered). They saw the benefits of having cow in agriculture where in a cow, being so gentle is capable of giving a lot and asking nothing in return. Therefore, cows were considered as Gods and were worshipped which is still observable in present day India. During that time, there were no industries that harmed animals to feed growing human population and the world was fairly working on justifiable measures where animals were treated perfectly because of the services they provided. So you have to remember here that when this concept came into life vs. your present day condition of the animals are not the same. So stop spreading your concern as "Ohh! Poor Cows". Go talk to your local butcher and try to convince him/her to stop slaying animals. Talk to your farmer to make milking more of a choice for animals rather than compulsion.
A cow HAS to be pregnant to „give“ milk. And it WANTS to only give the milk to HIS new born...wich is no possible as the HUMAN steels the milk and has to kill the new born as else the new born would get all the milk
@@mailarrives A mother's milk is for her child, not for any third party. In order to obtain milk from other beings, we artificially keep the mother pregnant, kill her child and take the milk which belonged to her child. In a few years the mother is also killed as her milk quantity reduces.
Such a wonderful and truthful commentary on the benefits of eating a sattvic diet. It is such a shame that the universal ego seems to have hijacked the comment section with its erroneous and judgmental view of dairy consumption. O well.
Thank you Daniel for your balanced view. I expressed my views about the milk issue in my book, "Diet for Health and Higher Consciousness" as well as in my video on this channel "Milk-Good or Bad?". It is wise to take a universal view about the topic.
@@MeditationSteps Thank you Dada - have watched the video. I'm very interested in food and ayurvedic nutrition - but there is so much there. Please keep up the good work :)
Thank you both for taking the time to make this video. I do find it strange dairy is considered a sattvic food, since it is so unhealthy and in many cases unethically produced.
It was that way once upon a time.. not anymore. The dairy industry out there is just as if not more crazy than the west.. for example they use "khalbaccha".. makeshift calf often enough the head or tail of a dead calf stuck on a stick next to the cows so they'll still produce milk. Not very sattvic :/
We respect your beliefs and understand your not ready to accept ours but we hope you see the truth soon. We become what we eat and absorb energy from food not just "nutirents". The animals that you kill to eat experience suffering and trauma, that maybe on different levels depending on whether they live in unnatural conditions or naturally ones. But when they finally have their life taken they do experience suffering. And so you are consuming death and suffering so you will become death and suffering. And as result of taking a life, life will be taken from you.
chad kenney I agree, if you look at life like that you put yourself in a box. Life naturally consumes other life. Even tribal, native Americans who were very spiritual ate meat. Give respect to the food that you are eating and don’t consume meat that often. I think about where the energy came from, initially a lot of energy comes from the sun. I give respects to the lives lost to allow me to eat the food I eat and give respect to where it all comes from.
@@Tempest_Stream Sounds like indoctrination to me. Animals need to be chased in nature, then put down forcefully after which they bleed. Given that option, or the option of picking large amounts of fruit from a tree that practically seduces you with it's sent - which option do you think you'd choose? We evolved on consuming plants, we also evolved to practice empathy toward other "sentient beings" and when we recognize this missing link and reconnect, it becomes obvious that eating meat is wrong and, scientifically speaking, even unhealthy. Spiritually and ethically there is no justification for doing the wrong thing with a "clear" conscience, only the mind can play tricks like that. Peace
I switched to a Vegan diet after watching videos of what they do to cows and chickens for milk and eggs in animal farms. I don't miss it at all. There is soya, almond and coconut milk etc for tea, yoghurt and ice creams etc..all plant based. Also we need to be less obsessed about food, eat what is simple and easily available from nature with least harm possible to other animals.
Did he just say milk is good? Majority of cows are handled not so positively when being milked. Not even considering that calves are being taken away from mother. That energy can surely not be positive.
Cow and basil plant have been like a family member in Indian tradition.. before commercialization or white revolution, it was better than current situation
Not sure where he lives... but commercial dairy industries in most of USA, Canada, UK, other Europe, Australia etc are very cruel. The mass production is the problem. They kill all the male calves, they take their calves away from the mothers very early and the cows will cry out for them and look for them, calves are sometimes put in basically cages where they can't turn around or move to be slaughtered for veal and given formula, they have a lot of sick and downer cows, they slaughter the dairy cows at certain stages too. Even seen vudeos of them throwing hundreds of live calves in a ditch, you have to realise really fucked up things happen to dairy cows and calves. Also eggs have same level of cruelty. Crowding, horrible living conditions, slaughter of chickens, mincing male chicks up in grinders because they have no use for egg laying etc.
Plus they are genetically modified so that they can give milk when they are pregnant. Also milk is linked to allot of cancers and other illnesses. Look at the game changers 16 oktober on Netflix
When I started yoga 9 years ago, I met a chicken shortly after and had a moment of realization, I no longer desired meat. We are so removed from our food in many cultures now days!! If you are struggling with desires for meat while also wanting to quit eating it, I recommend trying to go out and spend time with the animals you wish to eat. See them for the life they are. Or watch the industrialized process of how they live and die and let it seep in and feel it, helping you to change your desires and thoughts. If you are listening to the thoughts that don’t want you to stop eating meat, than you will not likely stop eating meat. Perhaps you even find yourself arguing with people who have quit, or perhaps you find yourself arguing with people who havent quit. Observe yourself! 🙏❤️

One of the founders of PETA, Alex was on a cross country trip and his friend who he was traveling with worked in a slaughter house and needed to stop in on the way cross country, Alex at the time a flesh eater went in with him and from that day on never ate meat again. Soon after he became one of the founders of PETA. That will change your vibrational level rather quickly.
theres much love radiating from this man, much love to you thanks for the wisdom
i love this Baba's quiet and gentle guidance for the lay person's journey of the mind. Mangal ho!!
I just recently quitted coffee, candies, chips and ice cream from my diet. especially happy and proud of quitting coffee, cuz it has affected VERY positively on my energy levels. when i drank it it took me an hour just to wake up with the coffee, and I got painfully tired just in few hours again, needing to drink coffee throughout the day and still feeling constantly tired. Now without my morning starts with meditation and workout and for most of the days I feel energetic til the night. can warmly recommend this to everyone - coffee creates need for itself.
@ghoulunathics thank you very much for sharing. I have seen several similar cases like yours.
Ayurved principals and proper diet have been clearly elucidated by Vasant Lad, an Ayurvedic physician. I’ve been meditating 45 years! 😇🤓🙏😍
Grateful to find this video
We are really less conscious of our quality of diets and indiscriminately eat whatever is palatable to our tastes. Vegetarianism is definitely very suitable for our holistic health and evolution. Swamiji is a great monk and health expert. We have learned many lessons from his teaching.
Wonderful and inspiring. I have been vegetarian/vegan for over 20 years and I highly recommend it to anyone. Peace and Namaste 🙏🏼
The tree is beautiful behind you. 🙏 Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I did not expect him to sound like that. :)) Thank you so much for the video.
Carlos Agana III hahaha I was thinking the same thing
Carlos Agana III lol omfg same!! 🙋🏻♀️😂😂
My thought too...At first he sounds like he had an Indian accent....oh well..lol
Thank you for an insightful video. It really reinforces my vegetarian decision of many years.
You're so welcome!
Beautiful, peace must always come from within we mustn’t seek it without. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Im 1000% sure a vegan diet calms your mind and pushes you towards mediation and spirituality. I can't really explain how much it's benefitted me.
Thank you very much.. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
In hindu cultre
The one who eats once a day - yogi
Twice - bhogi
Thrice - rogi
translation ?
You missed the last part
Four times - Lift him away (to his/her grave)
once a day is enough- builds self controll
@@Saundersstrong yes eating more than once a day poisons body and mind
And one who eats four times is dhongi 😂
Thanks for the insights ❤
I am a vegetarian and practice meditation. I have tried fasting and vegan diet and it does make a big difference in my meditation.
Thank you, for your observation.

Sadly the dairy industry in India is just as cruel as in the West. and buying dairy is NOT practicing Ahimsa.
you.r.correct.gradually.i.m.also.givingup.milk
Kay Kleij I eat dairy such as eggs and butter, but I try to avoid dairy milk and replace it with oat milk or almond milk
*organic eggs and butter
😔 I wish there was better access to better foods
It’s weird that humans drink another animals milk... it’s not natural and when I speak my opinion about this others get offended. That milk was meant for the cows baby not for humans.
Forty three years..Now that’s devotion.👍
Beautiful and "sentient" teaching !
Such a beautiful person. We have to understand where is sbd coming from, the background, the age, the society/environment he grew up and take all factors into account, before we judge. If we go back in time we will see some Greek philosophers who were consuming dairy too, which for their level of consciousness and mental state it was ok, but this doesn't mean that this is the optimum, the most right thing or the most efficient for the body. In my opinion, not harming/exploiting any form of life is the ideal, since it is not a matter of survival. Everybody is in a different stage, I think we have to be open to progress without rejecting.
That humility is unique
Thank you for this wonderful, gentle talk and encouragement to consume Sattvic diet. Likewise helpful to consume sattvic mental diet also. 😊
Namaskar Dada Shiila, You're beautiful and wonderful Human Being. You're really a true Mystic. Seeker of Truth. You explanation of Sentient Diet is very clear and scientific. i begin to understand it clearly. Thank you very much for your knowledge that you imparted to me because almost all the things that here in this world I do not Know. I know nothing about everything. Hoping to see you again in Manila by Baba's grace. In Him Arun
You're most welcome
I ate mushrooms one time and realized I was all of it .its true that you can actually put your love into the food you create and notice the subtle undertones of the food you created . Love to love it .
So it doesn't matter what we eat, does it? All that matters is that we energetically put our love into what we eat, right?
Pranama Guruji! Nicely explained, very informative! Sri Bhagavan said, "The splendor of the sun, which dissipates the darkness of this whole world, comes from Me. And the splendor of the moon and the splendor of fire are also from Me. I enter into each planet, and by My energy they stay in orbit. I become the moon and thereby supply the juice of life to all vegetables. I am the fire of digestion in the bodies of all living entities, and I join with the air of life, outgoing and incoming, to digest the different kinds of foodstuff..." BG 15.12.14
This man is so pleasant to listen to
Excellent video So many confirming truths that I've come to know through fasting.Thank you very much,🔥💛🔥
Thank you for such wonderful explanation. Its amazing how i didn't hear a single of your breath when you were talking. I wanna learn how to do that.
Thank you kindly, I am now returning to a vegetarian diet and this video was very important for me.
Glad it was helpful!
Best of luck!
There have been many studies on vegetarian diets. Mother nature designed us to eat plants.
So true.My Guru used to teach us all satvic recipes.Now I do realize that how correct he was in his teachings.
Namaskar! Thanks a lot for this.
Thank you very much, I am going to watch this one more time I hope this will help me and inspire me to finally stop binge eating.
Link Makers thank you.:)
Hey, if you're still having issues, an all fruit diet may be of use. Mix in a huge salad with Non-Starchy veggies if you're craving something not sweet. Maybe some nuts and seeds too.
I tend to get into stable meditative state if I dont eat Garlic and Onions.. I dont eat meat, egg and fish anyways..
Good luck with your shortlife
@@TheUrantia001 please explain
I took note of the comment on onions, garlic and mushrooms. I cook with these 3 in nearly every dish. Thank you very much..
I love garlic and onion. They're great for antifungal and antibacterial properties.
seems like many people do not understand this video. let me make it clear. Sattvic, Rajasic and Tamasic food categories were designed over 10000 yrs ago by the inhabitants of Indus Valley civilization (right about during the time agriculture was discovered). They saw the benefits of having cow in agriculture where in a cow, being so gentle is capable of giving a lot and asking nothing in return. Therefore, cows were considered as Gods and were worshipped which is still observable in present day India.
During that time, there were no industries that harmed animals to feed growing human population and the world was fairly working on justifiable measures where animals were treated perfectly because of the services they provided.
So you have to remember here that when this concept came into life vs. your present day condition of the animals are not the same. So stop spreading your concern as "Ohh! Poor Cows". Go talk to your local butcher and try to convince him/her to stop slaying animals. Talk to your farmer to make milking more of a choice for animals rather than compulsion.
A cow HAS to be pregnant to „give“ milk. And it WANTS to only give the milk to HIS new born...wich is no possible as the HUMAN steels the milk and has to kill the new born as else the new born would get all the milk
@@maggomaens9673 what are talking about?
@@mailarrives A mother's milk is for her child, not for any third party. In order to obtain milk from other beings, we artificially keep the mother pregnant, kill her child and take the milk which belonged to her child. In a few years the mother is also killed as her milk quantity reduces.
Namaskar! Baba Nam Kevalam! Best Regards from Mexico ☺. I am a member of Ananda Marga since 1982.
Thank you men 💚🙏🏼
Thank you Dadaji.
This was a lovely video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. 🕉✌
Wow, so beautiful and gently explained. Thankyou 🙏
Such a wonderful and truthful commentary on the benefits of eating a sattvic diet. It is such a shame that the universal ego seems to have hijacked the comment section with its erroneous and judgmental view of dairy consumption. O well.
Thank you Daniel for your balanced view. I expressed my views about the milk issue in my book, "Diet for Health and Higher Consciousness" as well as in my video on this channel "Milk-Good or Bad?". It is wise to take a universal view about the topic.
@@MeditationSteps Thank you Dada - have watched the video. I'm very interested in food and ayurvedic nutrition - but there is so much there. Please keep up the good work :)
Namaskar 🙏🏻💐
Thank you so very much
Thank you so much! 🙏
Видео замечательное: начиная от информативности заканчивая картинкой. Очень интересно слушать и приятно смотреть. Больше такого формата)
Thanks
Thank you for your wisdom. Great video
Thank you both for taking the time to make this video. I do find it strange dairy is considered a sattvic food, since it is so unhealthy and in many cases unethically produced.
Bunny McBunnyBun India cows are treated different - check out A2 vs A1 cows milk
It was that way once upon a time.. not anymore. The dairy industry out there is just as if not more crazy than the west.. for example they use "khalbaccha".. makeshift calf often enough the head or tail of a dead calf stuck on a stick next to the cows so they'll still produce milk. Not very sattvic :/
complete myth from fairy tales
complete bs
Sadly the dairy industry in India is just as cruel as in the West. and buying dairy is NOT practicing Ahimsa.
Namaste 🙏
thank you......dada shillabhadrananda ji, namaste.

Its great that I was born in vegan family, so i'am vegetarian from childhood ☺️
Respect and pranam to Guru .
Loved it. Hari 🕉️
Very beautifully explained dada. Thank you.. I think it's going to help us in many ways🙏😃
so beautifully said baba ji
Wonderful accent
I was thinking of the same
We respect your beliefs and understand your not ready to accept ours but we hope you see the truth soon. We become what we eat and absorb energy from food not just "nutirents". The animals that you kill to eat experience suffering and trauma, that maybe on different levels depending on whether they live in unnatural conditions or naturally ones. But when they finally have their life taken they do experience suffering. And so you are consuming death and suffering so you will become death and suffering. And as result of taking a life, life will be taken from you.
Thanks for ur precious word sir.
Kindly pray for me
chad kenney I agree, if you look at life like that you put yourself in a box. Life naturally consumes other life. Even tribal, native Americans who were very spiritual ate meat. Give respect to the food that you are eating and don’t consume meat that often. I think about where the energy came from, initially a lot of energy comes from the sun. I give respects to the lives lost to allow me to eat the food I eat and give respect to where it all comes from.
Elijah Sky I met you yesterday. See you later, maybe. Have a great show!
do you know this
@@Tempest_Stream Sounds like indoctrination to me. Animals need to be chased in nature, then put down forcefully after which they bleed. Given that option, or the option of picking large amounts of fruit from a tree that practically seduces you with it's sent - which option do you think you'd choose? We evolved on consuming plants, we also evolved to practice empathy toward other "sentient beings" and when we recognize this missing link and reconnect, it becomes obvious that eating meat is wrong and, scientifically speaking, even unhealthy.
Spiritually and ethically there is no justification for doing the wrong thing with a "clear" conscience, only the mind can play tricks like that. Peace
What a great video!
Peaceful setting there with the birds singing.
Yes enviroment itself was so amazing..
Thank you 🙏
An excellent lecture. A great man. Stay blessed Sir.😊
Thanks for this important knowledge
I switched to a Vegan diet after watching videos of what they do to cows and chickens for milk and eggs in animal farms. I don't miss it at all. There is soya, almond and coconut milk etc for tea, yoghurt and ice creams etc..all plant based. Also we need to be less obsessed about food, eat what is simple and easily available from nature with least harm possible to other animals.
That was beautifully said, Ben.
Thank you 🙏. Keep posting this kind of videos . Om
Yes, this is a feel good video
Namaskar both Dadajiis.
Loved this! Thank you so much
Thank you for wonderful lecture
Thanks you guruji 👍👌
Thank you, Dada! 💚
Protien, calcium, can be found in many many foods that are not from animals
Dada your English is very wonderful! Understand each of word)
Hope many spiritual seekers have healthy food to eat.
Thank you so much
Woww Namaskar
Did he just say milk is good? Majority of cows are handled not so positively when being milked. Not even considering that calves are being taken away from mother. That energy can surely not be positive.
Cow and basil plant have been like a family member in Indian tradition.. before commercialization or white revolution, it was better than current situation
Milk is good, not the process milk you all buy from supermarket.
@@shatakshiism yes.even now a days Amul used to take milk from cooperative societies which are taken from villagers.
Not sure where he lives... but commercial dairy industries in most of USA, Canada, UK, other Europe, Australia etc are very cruel. The mass production is the problem. They kill all the male calves, they take their calves away from the mothers very early and the cows will cry out for them and look for them, calves are sometimes put in basically cages where they can't turn around or move to be slaughtered for veal and given formula, they have a lot of sick and downer cows, they slaughter the dairy cows at certain stages too. Even seen vudeos of them throwing hundreds of live calves in a ditch, you have to realise really fucked up things happen to dairy cows and calves. Also eggs have same level of cruelty. Crowding, horrible living conditions, slaughter of chickens, mincing male chicks up in grinders because they have no use for egg laying etc.
Plus they are genetically modified so that they can give milk when they are pregnant. Also milk is linked to allot of cancers and other illnesses. Look at the game changers 16 oktober on Netflix
When I started yoga 9 years ago, I met a chicken shortly after and had a moment of realization, I no longer desired meat.
We are so removed from our food in many cultures now days!!
If you are struggling with desires for meat while also wanting to quit eating it, I recommend trying to go out and spend time with the animals you wish to eat. See them for the life they are. Or watch the industrialized process of how they live and die and let it seep in and feel it, helping you to change your desires and thoughts.
If you are listening to the thoughts that don’t want you to stop eating meat, than you will not likely stop eating meat. Perhaps you even find yourself arguing with people who have quit, or perhaps you find yourself arguing with people who havent quit.
Observe yourself! 🙏❤️
Thank you for sharing your experience, appreciate it.
Very pure n informative vedio......thanks for sharing your knowledge.......om
