The Spiritual Consequences of Eating Meat | Paramahamsa Vishwananda

[@lathas387]

I stopped eating meat after reading gita....but people around me are meat eaters ..my parents are also saying me to eat...but I'm not interested ...with krishna's blessings💗...radhe radhe

[@crisleypereira8803]

I am starting my journey today. I am stop with the meat for good! And also teaching my kids not to eat it.

[@cajelamirah]

As a one year vegan, I LOVE THIS

[@crimson2991]

When I ate animals I was aggressive, anxious struggling with a mental disorder that had me afraid to leave the house and go into public. first I went vegetarian then vegan I have never felt better, so calm, so peaceful, blissfully happy, my depression, anxiety and mental disorder melted away it was like being reborn. What we eat impacts our moods and well being so much. Before doctors and psychologist load us with pills and chemicals they should try to teach ppl how to eat first and after ppl will realize the answer to our well being was through our nutrition the whole time ☺️

[@tomihaili8756]

I had the same experience. Finnish culture is pretty much meat eating, dairy consuming culture and as a male it took some courage to go plant based. After 4 years there´s no return.

I stopped eating meat after Putting turmeric on my forehead and kum kum on my 3rd eye. After a few weeks of doing that i craved nothing but vegetables and didn’t want any meat, went back to it for a week or 2 then didn’t want it anymore. June will make it 2 years since i’ve stopped eating meat and I feel so much better. Best decision i’ve made in my life.

This resonates so well. What does baby eat? Milk.. and perhaps mashed bananas, dates, and some soft fruits. These are our primary foods. We don't look at lambs and calfs salivating like predators. But we look at ripe mangos and want to taste them. That shows what's natural for us and what's not.

Thank you teacher! Namaste. I am a vegetarian 🌱 and proud of it.

[@ddhqj2023]

I'm glad you are vegetarian because your heart has reached out to the chicken, the pig, the beef cow....I live in a community that has dairy farms everywhere in the valley. But you never ever see any cows. They spend their entire short lives inside barns where the sun cannot shine on them, no grass just manure under their feet. And even though they give milk because they were/are mothers, you never see any babies. Because those babies are stolen from them. You are close, so close but if you can extend mercy to the dairy cow and her baby, you can finish your journey to the true beginning of Spirituality.

[@melancholycollie1466]

I've been consuming chicken and fish again because I'm pregnant and I think it's more comfort than anything else... But when I've almost convinced myself to eat beef again, especially friending and feeding my neighbours cow's.. My heart says no. Stop. When I started meditating again and realigning my spiritual path after derailing, I realised I was vegan, vegetarian for the past 4 years for the wrong reasons. It was egoic more than spiritual. Now all of a sudden during my spiritual practice I feel a calling to eat food filled with life. I'm craving fruits, I'm craving fresh veggies and no more junk food. For the first time in any pregnancy I've had, I am craving whole fresh lush foods. My heart is guiding me.

[@sangeetanair3643]

Jai Gurudev 🙏the simple step is to put ourselves in their shoes and witness their pain and emotions

[@ceciliabeukes5725]

I get far better and deeper experiences in my meditations, when I didn't eat meat. I meditation showed me where cows go where they die, a rehabilitation centre. They are so sensitive and broken😢.😢😢 😢😢

[@NickRyanBayon]

Just recently on my path something inside me is telling me "be more environmentally friendly" "stop eating meat." Mentally I have no issue and I used to be vegetarian but when I consider it I think "why do I eat it? Because of transient pleasure?" I'm thinking of slowly stopping my consumption of these things until I eventually stop consuming such things.

[@alisaharris8926]

I am wishing you best of luck 💟

[@ddhqj2023]

I believe that the journey to a truly spiritual life is begun when you come to the realization that the spark of life that is your Innermost Being is the same spark of life that is the Innermost being of animals, fish, birds....that recognition that We Are All One, includes them. Like us, they are imbued with life and love and like us, they can experience fear and pain and loss. Just as we wouldn't bash our own thumb with a hammer, we should not cause fear and pain in them because we are doing it to our Self. The outer expression of Us may be different, but the radiance of our Innermost Beings is the same. I commend you on starting this journey and can assure you after 25 years of not eating meat, it's doable and it's safe. Just take the time to learn the basics (like take a B12 every few days) and you'll do wonderfully. My 70 year old husband is a vegan and he doesn't take any of the life preserving heart meds or anything like that. And in this day and age, that's become remarkable. Good luck and many blessings to you.

[@paiman_]

A couple of years ago, I had an Ego Death on a high dose of magic mushrooms (psychedelic experience). I felt vulnerable, confused, lost, scared, empty, it was terrifying (Psychedelic trips are generally very pleasant & insightful, and spiritual but not on mega high doses if you aren't ready for the experience). There were bliss moments in there also (especially afterwards) but at that moment in time, I was going through a lot. And when I came back to my "normal" self, I naturally didn't want to eat much food anymore the days after that. One day I was on KZbin and somehow came across a documentary called "Earthlings", and that opened my eyes so much. It made me (a grown ass man) cry and believe me, I do not cry easily because I have trained myself to handle my emotions through meditation, mindfulness & other breathing techniques but this was too much for me to handle at once. I remember seeing a video of a cow right before being stunned to be slaughtered with his eyes wide open, screaming and trying to protect itself but was helpless and couldn't move because of the tight space, I immediately got flashbacks from the time I was going through my Ego Death experience and how I felt. I felt & understood every bit of suffering and emotions that animal was going through in that video and that was it for me, I didn't want to contribute to this cruelty anymore and I'm glad I did. When you eat meat, you are also ingesting the spirit of that animal, and that animal most likely was born, grew up and killed in pure cruelty. Please stop eating dead animals. Plus, think of all of the physical/mental disasters it brings to your life. You cannot expect to be full of life & happy when you consume & digest misery & death.

[@ajitkavi77]

Please don't kill animals. Swamiji is absolutely correct.

[@adilx1489]

I am a born Muslim from Pakistan 🇵🇰 but I endorse that mass slaughter of animals in name of God is not good and right. Why fill body with dead animals flesh ? And got so much diseases.

My culture is meat eating in all occasions. Gradually my body is shutting down meat. I cannot even imagine a piece of steak on my plate without my stomach turning upside down. Your body tells you what's right or wrong.

I’m fortunate to have been born into a vegetarian household!! I have never eaten meat nor do I feel I eating it!! And do not allow my children either !! And I’m very proud of it!! I give the same reason to my friends who push their agenda of eating meat !! I tell them why should I eat dead bodies ? They r tasteless and we make them so called tasteful by adding spices whereas an apple is itself so sweet n tasteful!

[@luanessamoura9132]

What a pity, I fell so sorry for you that you never tasted a meat.🥩 Meat is the most complete food we have nowadays. And in time you see the consequences of remain without. Don’t make the same mistakes with your kids. Give them, and start to study more about. Because you will also lose your brain without meat.

Great video Its hard because people in the west are so ignorant, knowledge and wisdom over here is right in front of our very eyes but we just can't see it we focus on material world, the outside external world. Not a lot of people in the west know about spiritual knowledge, it seems as if only higher class people have these privileges over here or celebrities, not a lot of people are lucky i guess we're all born into different circumstances.

[@lmr9512]

go fully vegan bro. the egg and dairy industries are even worse because cows are raped to produce milk, their calves are taken away on their first day from them for veal and usually killed on the first day of birth and repeat till the cow physically incapable of producing milk or calves and then get sent to slaughter at last. egg industry treats eggs like commodities, male chicks are usually killed in a grinder alive on first day and hens are sexually exploited yet again to produce many eggs till they cannot handle it. basically byproducts make the suffering even longer for the female counterparts.

When that truth is finally going to hit us, when the heart starts to speak and we cannot avoid the insane pain we inflicted to other sentient beings, I just don’t know how we will even make it through.

It's not only the west. I live and teach English in Cambodia and everyone eats meat and treats animals like they have no soul, no feelings. Chickens are carried on backs of moto bikes some have their beaks dragging along the concrete roads and i see them trying to lift their self up because they are being tortured. I once lived by a market place and i would hear horrible screams at 3 am every night almost. I asked a Khmer woman what it was and she said she had gone to look and they were killing pigs, she said also that she thinks that they think if they cut the pigs torturing them before they kill it it makes better meat. So many crazy unhappy people, poor and eating meat with rice everyday. there are no vegetarians here like in India or the USA.

As a child I didnt want to eat meat. But ny mother made me eat it when she fed me as a baby. Now my body does not tolerate the bovine proteins any longer. So I bekamen vegan in 2017. And have never regretted it. My depressions are Almosen gone, my liver and kidneys are strenger with detoxing my body system. I have never been more hapoy. My neurodermitis is almost gone. And I cant even watch a video where an animal is slaughteref. It always makes me cry because I can see and feel the sadness of the slaughtered animals. When you look into their eyes you can easily see their awareness of what is going happen to them at the slaughterhouse. They know that they are ging to die. I dont want any innocent blond on my hands since I startet my spiritual journey in 2009 which still goes on.
