hi...

 

i am posting this on behalf of gentle world. should reach over 1000 vegans.

be interesting to know how many reply to " Gentle World "

<gentle

 

 

if anyone wants to help gentle world out with gw's latest mission,

please send them the information they seek. namely good examples of persons

who have contributed to our vegan movement in a positive manner.

 

i agree such a vegan historic chronicle is needed.

 

just off the top of my head, jainism is first and i am off to meet the jain

community in gujarat, india in 6 more weeks, so i will be able to report

directly on this once i am there. my jain friend in bhuruch is to introduce

me. if not vegan, they are certainly the earliest roots of veganity

 

then there is mahatma gandhi. i was lucky enough to secure his book " an

autobiography " or the story of my experiments with truth. first edition

1927. in it he writes about experiments with veganism, this is before the

word existed. i scored this book from the mahatma gandhi ashram in chandi

dasa, bali many

years ago.

 

hippocrates. " let food be our medicine, medicine our food " . is a profound,

enlightened understanding.

 

to me this makes sense and defines not only the

well being of the body but also the well being of the soul and the 'whole'

person.

 

grace swales and yes, gentle world for living the above life.

 

more later.

 

peace

 

colin.

 

peace
