Guest guest Report post Posted July 4, 2006 Sai Ram, Alex Regarding what Swami said about animals reincarnating in human "wombs", I have read it already twice in some book but it was a long time ago. I will start looking through all the books I have here and other sources, but I may take a long time! If any other group member is able to find the answer meanwhile I would greatly like to hear it!

Guest guest Report post Posted July 5, 2006 I do the Jyoti meditation every evening at midnight. After focusing the jyoti on my body, I focus it and pray for human beings, first the nearest and dearest and at the end I include the whole world. I also include jyoti and prayers for conservation of all non-sentient beings (flowers, trees, rivers etc), non-pollution, and all animals and the relationships between humans and animals. In the latter I include prayers for pet owners to take responsibility with love and compassion, for all stray and injured animals, and for an end to animal species extinctions. When I see a creature from the tiniest upward come into my house that does not belong there, such as a moth or wasp, I put a glass cover over it, then a card under it, and carry it outside. Mosquitos adore me :-( nevertheless I do not try to kill them. We have 2 lovely cats who have been with us 6 years (from the age of 8 weeks old) and have been strongly advised to keep them indoors at night because we live near a large dangerous road. We have trained them to come in in daylight. (We're in London.) There is a mutual love between them and us and on the whole they're happy animals. I honour you Alex, and all the others who have responded, for your concern about animals and for your expression of it. Sai Ram, Claudia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted July 6, 2006 Sai Ram Claudia It really great what you do help animals. Me too I do the same like you but before freeing them I hold them firmly and recite Gaytree mantra three times for them. This will help their soul on the path of evolution.

misperre 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2008 yes my dog slowly becoming vegetarian. he is very healthy and likes carrots more than meat. dogs evolved from wolves who ate human leftovers. they are used to eating vegetable leftovers - meat was too precious to give to the dogs. they should have a mainly vegetarian diet i think Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bija 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2008 Namaste to all! I'm curious! Can dogs be vegetarians? If not, why not? If yes, what you think would happened? Do you know any person whos dog is vegetarian? Yes dogs can be full vegetarian. My dog is and is very healthy. Some important points: They are like us and need a varied diet, allowing balanced vitamin intake. Never feed your dog onions. Onions can kill a dog. What happens is the red blood cells explode suffocating the dog. As red blood cells carry oxygen. Chocolate is very bad, as it can cause heart attack. Macadamia nuts can paralyse a dog. My dog eats fruits, breads, pastas, and all vegetables. He especially likes green vegetables. Interesting to note in the wild the wolf lives in a pack. The head wolf takes the stomach of the kill, and leaves the carcass to the rest of the wolves. The head wold eats the green vegetation in the kills stomach. Cats cannot be vegetarian. I also feed my dog dry food when I do not cook: http://veganpet.com.au/articles/ yes my dog slowly becoming vegetarian. he is very healthy and likes carrots more than meat. My little dog loves carrots too, instead of bones. The carrot cleans their teeth well. Dogs teeth need hard things to chew. If they only eat soft food, then in older age the teeth become week. A good crunch is healthy and keeps the teeth firmly inplace. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
