Diet by Sanatana Sai Sanjeevinis and other notes. 2

[Guest guest]

Light and Love

 

The consequent parts are about strange for human body properties of

non-vegetarian food by Sanatana Sai Sanjeevinis and own insights. This theme

has properly studied in our teacher's environmental scholarship, as vegetarian

food is a base for spiritual enlightenment and ecological consciousness.

Several points of view of modern science what reached nearly to the same

standpoints.

Seven parts of mails are the explanations why vegetarian food is healthy

mainly by Sanatana Sai Sanjeevinis, but not only. (This site is very large and

includes the healing methods. The compilation from this site by additional

notes seems to be more clear explanation for the benefit of vegetarian food).

The other parts include Swami's quotations and recommendations about the

quality the food and personal experiences how in conditions of long cold

winters to prefer vegetarian food. The last part would be about standpoints of

modern science concern to vegetarian and non-vegetarian food.

 

(By the way, from history is known that many worldwide famous persons were

vegetarian. In italy Leonardo da Vinci (1452 - 1519) would often buy caged

animals at the market just to set them free. George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950)

turned vegetarian at age 25. About them in the last part).

 

Non-vegetarian foods including meat, fish, eggs putrefy within a few hours

and so the putrefaction takes place within human body, what carrying around

decaying corpses and toxins from them.

Eggs too rot as fast as meat and fish. Eggs provide the largest quantity of

cholesterol. Besides, the eggs are full of chemicals. The hens are kept in the

most shocking conditions - never allowed to roam free in the sun, always sitting

in one position to produce "assembly line" eggs. They are fed hormones (for

better produce) and artificial yellow colour (which is one of the worst

offenders in children's behavioral disorders) to make the eggs look more

appetising. (Those eggs are "nuggets of concentrated nutrition" is a myth.

One egg contains almost zero iron, 1200 IU of Vitamin A, a large quantity of

Vitamin D and is loaded with Cholesterol. Compare that to 6000 IU of Vitamin A

in a small bunch of drumstick leaves and 10,000 IU in an even smaller bunch of

coriander leaves. Both these are also very rich sources of iron as are all

green leafy vegetables. Vitamin D is available from the sun - it is formed

directly on the skin by the action of the sun).

 

Countries where meat and other non-vegetarian food is consumed in large

quantities have the highest rates of colon cancer. The animals are fed all

sorts of hormones and drugs to fatten them up - these are also recycled to

humans and result in severe hormonal disturbances in men and women. Antibiotics

are a routine part of their diet. Ingesting these will make us immune to their

action should we ever need to use them.

Human's stomach has to produce a lot more acid to digest non-vegetarian

foods. They themselves contain of uric acid. It is one of the causes of

suffering from ulcers, arthritis, psoriasis and other skin problems, etc.

The adrenal glands or stress glands become very active in the animal during

captivity and during the butchering process. The adrenal so produced is

recycled to humans thus causing unnecessary panic, stress and fears. Many

diseases (ulcer, arthritis, eczema, asthma, psychiatric, heart, blood pressure,

cancer, and kidney cases) can wholly or partially cured when all non-vegetarian

foods have eliminated from the diet.

 

If we wish to live long and be strong and hardworking let's learn from

nature. The elephant, the bull, the horse (we measure power as horsepower) are

all vegetarians. The elephant lives 100 years and more. The lion and all other

carnivores on the other hand live only 15 years. The lion is vicious and

violent and works hard only to kill for food. The rest of the time it spends

sleeping (20 hours per day). It is known that to produce one pound of

meat 12 to 20 pounds of vegetable products as animal feed is needed. It

takes 60 litres of water to grow 1 kilo of wheat, 200 litres to grow I kilo of

green beans, 3000 litres to produce 1 kilo of eggs, 8200 litres to produce 1

kilo of chicken 16400 litres to produce 1 kilo of pork and 50,000 litres to

produce 1 kilo of beef (Look: Higher Taste 'ISCKON' -Published by Bhaktivedanta

Book Trust. ISBN 0-89213-128-4).

 

Morally and spiritually, there is only one God. How a human being can

dedicate actions to God when he/she ruthlessly and needlessly kills and harms

His animated Creation.

After reading your articles - if still some people crave to dig their molars

into dead flesh - then all we can say is they are incorrigibly ignorant. Their

eyes are open - but they refuse to see.

 

I was amazed that many devotees in this debate on Vegetarianism, came forward

sitting on the fence - they projected to eat or not to eat as a part of life

style and other such compulsions. Not one condemed meats with the strong

condemnation it deserves.

 

Look I also have a life - I have been in the Army and led a very colorful life.

I used to hunt and eat a lot of meats. Then I became a Sai Devotee - no I did

not leave it straight away, but slowly and slowly we weaned ourselves away -

and now we are practical - we understand that meats are bad - but there are

occassions, when I am abroad, when I have found nothing vegetarian in the food

served. Well besides salads - I do put a piece of white fish in my plate - to

avoid curious glances from meat lovers and with some mashed potatoe and whole

wheat bread I finish my meal - the poor fish goes into garbage with the plate.

In this way I may have converted at least a dozen men and women into

vegetarians.

 

Since this debate has been going on for long with able participation from

otherwise silent quarters, let me add a visible distinction for viewing - view

your teeth - view the horse and buffallo and cow teeth and also view the dog,

cat, tiger (all carnivorous) animals. Match your set of teeth with the animals

- and follow what the match reveals - if it matches vege animals teeth then be

a veggie from this moment onwards and if they match the carnivorus then be

carnivorous. But be true, atleast to yourself.

Sairam Jatinder Sir.

Thanks for your nice msg and your agony for meat eaters.

Sir. I think we are responsible for changes in ourselves and not others.

We have to pray Swami only. I was also a voracious Non-vegetarean eater upto

1994 end. It was Swami's miracle for our family that i married to a girl who

was a sai follower and 1994 birthday discourses Swami came down heavily on

non-veg eaters saying that we eat chicken/mutton and claim to be devotees of

lord Ram,Krishna,Sai. Rather calling our selves Sai devotees, we should call

our selves chicken devotees. Is Swami's reprimandation is not enough for us to

stop non-veg eating ? If we can not stop this habit, then i am sure, we have no

faith on Swami and we dont love our beloved Swami.

 

I had attended one yoga class several years back, where the Yogacharya was

saying Human-being created by God to eat only Vegeterian foods like Cow, Goats

etc. There are some distinctions rather the physical built is differnet for

vegetarian[a]/non-vegetarian animals. For example

1. [a] Vegeterian animals siblings/pops can see with their eyes after taking

birth[eg Human beings,Cow etc.].

b] Carnivorous siblings can open their eyes after 21 days [eg.Dog,Tiger,Cat etc.]

2. [a] Teeth are mostly flat. Teeth are pointed [to bite meat i think].

3. [a] Saliva in mouth alkaline Saliva in mouth is acidic [may to digest the meat]

4. [a] Nails are flat Nails in the claws are pointed [to attack the prey i think]

5. [a] intestine is too long [Therefore after eating non-veg, it cant go

properly to stomach for digestion, we feel uneasy with bad breaths/indigsstion

etc.] intestine is small [meat in short time goes to stomach]

6. [a] can not see in the dark can see in dark [might be to locate their food/prey]

7. while drinking water, use upper and lower leaps] use tongue to drink water.

>From above points, we can ascertain that the carnivorous animals are created by

GOD to eat meats and not man, who is taking non-veg to please his sense of

Jivha [tongue]. Cow cant eat non-veg how much u force him.. but we human ??????

Can we be called human ?? Animals are better than us.

I may be excused if i have hurt anybody's feelings.

Sairam.

Swami bless us all.

Dear Reet,

Since this debate has been going on for long with able participation from

otherwise silent quarters, let me add a visible distinction for viewing - view

your teeth - view the horse and buffallo and cow teeth and also view the dog,

cat, tiger (all carnivorous) animals. Match your set of teeth with the animals

- and follow what the match reveals - if it matches vege animals teeth then be

a veggie from this moment onwards and if they match the carnivorus then be

carnivorous. But be true, atleast to yourself.

Sai Ram Dear Sai Brothers,

 

I agree with you both. I was also a "voracious" meat eater until Sep

2000 but had an experience on the first day of Navratri(9 auscpicious

nights of Devi) which made me leave meat forever. At that time I was

not aware of Swami but 2 years later when I came into His fold, I

heard a speech of His in which He said that if we love HIm we should

leave meat, alcohol and smoking from now on; ONLY THEN CAN WE BE

CALLED HIS TRUE DEVOTEES. this was enough reason to never even think

of having meat again and actually silently pray that my husband

leaves it too:) He did after 2 years(jan 2004).

I feel prayer is very powerful. If we have an earnest desire to

overcome anything we think we should and pray to Him sincerely; He

always helps! We need to have patience and Faith though.

-----------------------

An excerpt from Swami's discourse (reminded me of the story of that

devotee who started offering food to Swami and eventually turned

vegetarian)

 

"if you want to develop a relationship with God, your thoughts should

be of a Divine nature. God is purely sathwic in nature; so if you

want to strike up a friendship with Him, you have to take purely

sathwic food, develop a sathwic nature, and have sathwic thoughts.

 

If you wish to build up a permanent relationship with God, you must

strengthen these sathwic tendencies. "

-------------------

May Swami confer on all of us Strength and Wisdom to follow His

teachings.

With Sai Love,

In His Service,
