PREFACE
VEGETARIANISM has been initiated by sages in China and India since time immemorial to prohibit the infliction of cruelties upon fellow animate beings – the basal step in REGENERATING THE GREAT COMPASSIONATE LOVE which is a pure quality inherent in the nature of man, to the ENLIGHTENED TRUTH that all life form, whether human or non – human, are rooted in ONE COMMON HERITAGE.
That is, we share a Common Life Force that emanates from within our physical bodies. Although many discrepant issues have been put forward by those who do not understand or by those who strongly oppose the importance of a vegetarian diet, the FOUNDATION OF VEGETARIANISM remains unperturbed because of its FUNDAMENTAL VALUES.
Today, with adequate evidential material involving men from all walks of life and traditions, vegetarianism is constantly acknowledged all over the world by young and old, as an ESSENTIAL DIET to promote not only HEALTH CONSCIOUSNESS – the most relevant way to human development, but also MORALITIES as the principal of life as well – a Goal towards Universal Love and Peace.
As Epicurus, a Greek Philosopher of more than two thousand years ago, who had advocated a vegetarian diet said: “For no one can come too early or too late to secure the HEALTH OF HIS SOUL”.
The questions below are those which are most often being queried by a significant number of people, inspired by genuine interest and concern for a perfect livelihood rather than out of mere curiosity.
Some of the questions are:-
Is man by nature, a vegetarian or a meat eater?
Do animals suffer from as much fear and pain as man when they are led to slaughter?
Is it possible for a man to give up a lifetime of habits of meat eating to become a vegetarian?
What reformative influence has vegetarianism upon the corruption of man’s spirit?
As a little token contribution towards humanity and the re-establishment of the Glorious Brotherhood on man, “VEGETARIANISM - THE PERFECT WAY TO A HEALTHY AND PEACEFUL LIFE”, consists of scientific evidence; ethical teachings by sages; compilation of published materials and names of famous vegetarian personalities; are all in conjunction with the ULTIMATE PURPOSE of a vegetarian diet of man.
