[@aviralkumarbarnwal83]

This is such a lovely conversation.

[@JagadguruSvamiVegananda]

4:15 human rights: In most cases, it seems that this term refers to certain (often vague) moral or legal entitlements that humans possess in relation to having or obtaining something, or to act in a certain way. This phrase has been used increasing more ubiquitously over the past century or so, with the implication that every human being, without exception, has identical and inalienable entitlements. However, this is a very obvious fallacy, as it invariably ignores the hierarchy of society. For example, very few persons would doubt that parents have the right to discipline their children. However, their children OBVIOUSLY do not have the converse right, to chastize or instruct their parents. Therefore, it is nonsensical to speak of human rights in general, when each and every individual person has unique rights, depending on his or her place in the hierarchy of society. The notion of rights is intimately intertwined with morality (or to be more accurate, the concept of dharma). So, in the above example, it is in accordance with morality/dharma for a parent to disciple his or her children, and if required, administer some form of punishment. However, it would be objectively immoral for a child of any age (even a geriatric) to admonish his or her parents, except, perhaps, if a parent was afflicted with a disease or disability that inhibited the parent’s cognitive capabilities, such as dementia. Cf. “dharma”. According to a criminal organisation called the “United Nations”, there are thirty so-called “human rights”, listed in a document entitled “Universal Declaration of Human Rights”, but objectively speaking, only a couple of the listed articles of “rights” are predicated on the only ONE and ONLY human right, and that is the right for any person (that is any human being or non-human animal) to not be harmed unjustifiably. As is to be expected of a declaration by a bunch of deluded, ignorant fools, there is nowhere in the preamble any semblance of a stated definition of “human rights”. This is practically a universal occurrence in the fields of sociology, law, philosophy, ethics, and even in the so-called hard sciences. Just see the dramatic contrast between almost every academic essay paper and thesis/book ever published, compared with this Book of All Books! In order to be charitable to that evil body, the United Nations, it is probably fortuitous that they failed to proffer a definition of “rights”, since the “definition” that they are likely to have conjured-up in their feeble intellects would be incompetent, if not truly laughable.

Bro to make people vegan ... U need funds. Do one thing - go and become a minister and pass a law on veganism. Don't seek funds fooling around with such vegan workshops and seeking funds to sponsor your life. These shameful so called activists are shadowing real activists of India who are not even coming to the limelight because of people like you. There is a process called prioritisation of issues and it differs from country to country. Just following USA and these fools say we want to be vegan activists. Have you done cow farming, have you done goat farming, have you done any farming ... Instead of giving such meaningless sessions. U compare women with animals, which is not even the priority concern for us right now. Tomorrow you will ask let's run trial for goats because they are exploited by other animals sexually. What logic is this? And you quoted Gandhi ... Did Gandhi mention that quote for vegan activists? U can't use a quote whose general purpose was towards independence and for other contexts. Then in that case - Subhash Bose once said give me blood and I will give you freedom ... Does that mean this quote can be used anywhere to take blood from people in the name of independence. Even any wrong person can also give this same quote to instigate independent thoughts to motivate some people, whereas the rest of the world might not agree with that ideology. Don't use some quotes by other personalities to instigate thoughts ... In what context Gandhi said it u don't know ... does not suit to use it in your own propagenda ... Gandhi was vegan but he never forced or condemned his friends to become vegan ... He followed his own path ... Like Swami vivekanand said once ... Condemn none, u can help only but if you can't then let others choose their way.

[@shoban1520]

It was so heartwarming to see this young lady genuinely interested in making positive changes for the animals. She didn't come out with inane justifications to condone her behaviour. She connected. A good soul. As usual, Arvind, you aced the response as always. Thank you!

[@JagadguruSvamiVegananda]

Do you understand the distinction between a woman and a LADY? It seems not...

[@chubbatheBOSS]

To me it sounded like she was trying to subtly distract from personal responsibility. By putting the focus on the government or commerce or business, things that seem too big- then she jumps to “we can’t just form activist groups and protest on the street.” She was evading personal responsibility from being a vegan, and instead distracting the focus onto the government. Kudos to Aravind for bringing the issue back to personal responsibility that the single most important thing she could do is to become a vegan

[@rp10304]

We have tobacco products and alcohol sold by the government. Inspite of the ad mentioning it's harmful to the body and causes cancer. Still it's been sold and people consume it. Not everything the government can do. But at least small things which we could do as an individual we should take initiative.

[@beyondtheendfilms5602]

You inspired me in so many ways. From being a hardcore meat eater to being a vegan activist who is fighting against all odds once you get wisdom. A lot of people watch documentaries and videos that shake them but don't do much to bring a change. But you are the one who not only changes himself but also makes sure to bring changes among others so animals can live and not suffer in pain and misery for human pleasure. Thank you so much, Arvind. Bless me so I can become the person who can do things for animals as much as you are doing. Salute !!!

[@joannot6706]

As an activist, I completely agree, sometimes you hear people say that if you are not an activist, you are complicit in animal exploitation, it's bs. It's usually people that aren't activists in racial issues or gender inequality issues but would never accept if someone came to them and said that they were complicit in racism or sexism simply because they aren't activists in this area. That being said I recommend every vegan to be active, for the animals but also for them, you get to meet somehow like-minded people and the more vegans there are, the more accommodation there will be for vegans.

[@JagadguruSvamiVegananda]

There are TWO reasons why vegans comprise a fraction of one percent of the population: The main reason is due to humans’ failure to care about what they put into their own bodies - as long as it tastes good, who gives a damn about the consequences to one’s own health, or to the ethical concerns regarding other creatures or the environment? The other reason is due to vegan advocates and animal rights activists being inept in their understanding of morality, as well as their abysmal grasp of human physiology. Almost every single vegan activist I know of, wrongly believes that we are omnivores, and they are CLUELESS in respect to metaethics and applied ethics. However, this is not the most unfortunate thing about the matter. The saddest thing is, that there is hardly a single vegan activist willing to spend even a single hour or so, in order to study proper diet and meta-ethics with the current World Teacher Himself, Jagadguru Svāmī Vegānanda, despite him freely offering to do so on his social media platforms. 😩

[@kolyaanderole517]

Once Supreem Ghimire said on Quora "Let's ignite change, let's create a moment - The vegan movement striving to transcend retribution. For those who believe in God: In the God/divine tongue, or let's say, in Sanskrit, the word Meat means 'mamsa'. Mamsa signifies 'Mam' meaning 'Me' and 'Sa' meaning 'He.' This subtly implies that as I inhabit this animal now, in my subsequent life, this creature might have an opportunity to consume me in the same way. And for those who embrace science but not God: Recall the motion lessons from your school days and delve into the laws of motion. The third law of motion states that for every action, there exists an equal and opposite reaction. Furthermore, Modern Science's recent revelation about the multiverse concept isn't fictional; it could hold validity. Hence, what genuinely matters is your next course of action. It's time for transformation - a transformation in favor of the animals, who, too, possess equal rights and the freedom to inhabit this planet. Embrace your humanity, and become conscious living beings. In the human context, I'm uncertain about the exact alignment of this statement, but it may hold some relevance."

Typical bullshit argument.....the farm animals that are bred for dairy and meat consume more crops than humans .....so if we stop dairy & meat products, there will be significant decrease in the crop produce which will lead to reduction in killing of pests, insects, rodents, etc. I hope you apply your mind next time onwards. 😏
