Every one in this world aspires to have a perfect, prosperous, peaceful life. Spirituality paves the way to a stable, simple, satisfied life. Spirituality deals with the mind and a Rajyogi learns to master his/her mind through different methods. According to modern science, our Vedic scriptures, scientists, rishis, Bhagwad Geeta; everyone talks of importance of satwik (ontological) food. Satwik food has beneficial effect on our mind and body. Mahatma Gandhiji, Albert Einstein, Narender Modi are a few great personalities who were/are pure vegetarians. Therefore, satwik food is one way how a Rajyogi can soothe and quieten him thought as well as calm down his mind. Satwik food habits increase our physical and mental vitality making it easier to experience clarity, lightness and peace of mind. As is famously said: There are also a number of sayings extolling the benefits of vegetarian. For example, A Healthy mind in a Healthy body, As the food, so the mind. You are, what you eat. It is said that brain chemicals (Serotonin, dopamine, acetylcholine) influence the way we think, feel and behave and they are triggered by what we eat. Regular use of caffeine, alcohol and certain drugs shows their harmful effects on the behaviour of a person, so one can understand how food can affect our personality. Fruits and vegetables are a major source of nutrition and influence our body-system with positive energy and also have a higher vibration aura than animal product. Spiritual people believe in AURAS. Kirilian photography shows us that a force field remains around dead or amputated tissue of an animal. It is said that you adopt that animal aura when you eat a dead animal. Meat-eating is a sign of spiritual ignorance and keeps one away from developing compassion and mercy towards fellow beings. According to Law of Karma – whatever pain we cause to others, we get back the same. When animals are slaughtered, fear and aggression hormones are shot into their cells and remain there for long. Thus, meat eating creates negative emotions which impairs our effective personality. Non-Vegetarian foods carry excessive amount of protein which is dangerous. The prime danger being that uric acid attacks kidneys, breaking down the kidney cells called nephrons resulting in condition is called Nephritis. Excessive intake of fats can result in having a high level of cholesterol leading to heart attacks, blood pressure etc. Meats are frozen for a long period of times. Some meat (especially poultry) are frozen up to two years. Cold temperatures do not kill all species of bacteria. Meat can stay in the intestine for at least four days until it is digested. Have you ever seen what happens to a piece of meat that stays in sun for three days? This long stay of meat in intestine can cause cancer. Tigers or Lions who eat meat and grow strong on it have acid based digestive system. Our hydrochloric acid is not enough to fully digest meat. Also their intestines are in straight run of about five feet long, not twisted and turned, compacted into small area unlike the human intestine which is twenty feet long. Therefore, Nonvegetarians are at higher risk of:
a)Colon Cancer
b)Food-poisoning
c)Kidney damage
d)Heart disease
Vegetarian food-fruits, vegetables, whole grains etc., are gifts of Mother Nature that create positive energy in our body. Also protein that comes from vegetarian food is easy to digest. Vegetarians can have a longer lifespan than the non-vegetarians. You can see the cows, goats, gorillas, elephants, rhinoceroses etc. are all vegetarians (herbivores) but look, how tough these animals are, not to mention their life span which is longer as compared to the carnivores (meat eating animals). YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT To lead a peaceful, perfect, contented life, you must choose to adopt a satwik and simple lifestyle. You need to follow your inner guidance and honour, love and respect yourself. Learn from experience and understanding why you need to choose vegetarianism. “As the food, so the mind.” Let satwik food guide your life, manage your mind and enlighten you spiritually, so that you walk on the path of God-realization and Self-realization which is the purpose of a Rajyogi. Become a Selfsovereign and a true RAJYOGI. Lead a peaceful life
