Have A blessed day,

VEG NON-VEG FOOD

Swami Sivananda

The first food given to a child is vegetarian in character. This clearly shows that vegetarian food is the natural food of man. It is incorrect to think that animal food is an essential part of man's dietary. Vegetable foods are both cheaper, healthier and cleaner than meat. Eminent doctors have proved that meat is the most favourable food for the development of putrefactive germs in the intestinal canal. Meat-eating has a strong influence over the mind and the senses. It is not conducive to spiritual practices. It makes the mind extrovert and sensual. Therefore, it is good to avoid meat. Take a well-balanced diet. Have healthy kidneys, liver and bowels. Milk is a balanced food. It contains all nutritive principles in a well-balanced proportion. It is rich in energy-giving nutrients, minerals and vitamins. Hence, it is of a very high value. Let a glass of milk serve you as a refresher, rather than tea or coffee. Always use fresh milk, i.e., within five hours of milking. Take care to drink only boiled milk.

Pure and simple food will help you in observing Brahmacharya. Do not read novels. Be

moderate in diet. Take cold water bath. Avoid pictures. Do not look at women. Whenever you

chance to see them, think that they are the manifestation of the Universal Mother

Swami Chidananda

The world is good if you really cooperate with it as a friend with a friend, and do not treat it as an object of your senses.
