First I offer my respects to our spiritual masters. Independently we cannot be successful. But when we connect ourselves with the Supreme Lord and His perfect representatives, success is guaranteed. So always I offer my respects to our great masters. Some people refer to me as a master. I’m not a master. I’m a student of my masters. And this is the way...

So we learned last night, and basically I speak about it every night, about our true identity. We learned that we are not our material body. We learned that we are not our mind. We have two bodies: the physical body, which is obvious, and then we have our mental body, which is not obvious. They are both material, meaning they’re made from material...

But now we are in this world, in these bodies. So we need to learn how to take care of our bodies, what to do, how to take care of it. And one of the main activities that we must do to take care of the body is to eat. Everybody knows that. We need to drink and we need to eat. That’s the fuel that keeps the body going. So it’s arranged like that....

The Bible says we should be vegetarians. The Vedic scriptures say we should be vegetarians. In the Vedas it says that the perfect foods for humans are vegetables, fruits, grains, nuts, seeds, and dairy products. That’s the food for man. If you eat a diet composed of these ingredients, then your health will be greatly improved. But many people think...

Now, what else? What about the mind? It’s a second body, remember? What we eat affects the mind also. So when an animal is killed, the animal is filled with fear and adrenalin, under great stress, anxiety, and all of this goes into the meat automatically. You eat that meat – you take that into yourself. And this affects your body and affects your...

And most important of all. How does it affect our ability to understand spiritual subject matter? Meat is in the material mode of ignorance. There are different modes of nature that influence us. There are goodness, passion and ignorance. Meat is in the mode of ignorance. When I eat meat, that puts me under the influence of the mode of ignorance. The...

Now, what about the environment? We know the environment is in crisis right now. It has been for a long time, it’s just becoming more obvious. This is also based on research, but it’s the truth: if you want to do the most that you as an individual can do for the environment – become a vegetarian. The environmental impact involved with eating of...

To be vegetarian is much better. When people are vegetarian, it’s much better; it greatly reduces disease. You know, yesterday one man came to me and said he had just had a heart attack, which is “normal”, basically “normal.” In America and other western developed countries 52% of the population will die from cancer or heart attack, heart...

One other point. And this is one almost nobody considers, even the vegetarians, only if you are rising up to a higher level of spiritual understanding where you think about this. What about the karma? Karma, how does that work karmically between meat eating and vegetarianism? In case you don’t know what karma is, I’ll give you a very brief...

But first we will talk about a few other things. Ok, so now we’ve become a vegetarian, all right? And we still, of course, can be a junk food vegetarian. We can eat pizzas, cakes, pies, white breads, canned foods, all kinds of sugary things. All vegetarian, but all junk, processed, no food value, no life in the food. And this destroys the body, too....
