So you should know the ingredients. But if they cooked it and you offer it, it helps them, too. So you are actually helping them in their spiritual...

Question: What should I do if I’m a vegetarian, but my activities are connected with meat selling? Answer: If possible, change your activities. I’ll tell you a personal story. I became a vegetarian before I knew anything about this philosophy. And, uniquely enough, I was working in a steakhouse as a waiter. I knew about karma, and I knew if you ate...

Question: We can become vegetarians, parcels of God, etc., but at the same time we all are involved in different activities, different types of work as we need money. But money involves karma.

Question: I don’t like the phrase “a slave of God.” “A servant of God” sounds much more gentle. Do you see the difference between these phrases? Answer: I don’t like that word either. “Slave” means you are forced to do something in the general understanding of the word. You are forced to do whatever you are supposed to do. What we are...

Question: Eating at night is unhealthy? Answer: Ok, we got food questions now [laughs]. Yes, it is. The yoga diet is a diet when you don’t eat late at night. The body is designed to rest at night.

Question: What about honey? Answer: It depends, again, on the honey. If the honey has been heated, or the bees have been fed sugar, which a lot of beekeepers do, especially in winter, then the honey is not good. If it’s really true good honey, then it can be very nourishing. Not too much. You can always overdo everything. Small amounts. Any sweet...

Question: What is yoga’s look at food combining? Answer: It’s a science, but I can tell you from experience, you can go crazy trying to combine foods perfectly. It’s not really practical in many cases, “Oh, can’t eat this with this and this…” If you are fully in control of everything you eat all the time, if you can adjust all this, it’s...

Question: What foods contain iron? Apples don’t contain iron nowadays. The beef does. Answer: Raisins and figs are very high in iron, dark green vegetables also – the darker the better.
