Vegetarianism

Seeing the God in All Living Beings

“To kill a being to appease the hunger of another being with meat is not at all following the policy of showing compassion to living beings and it doesn’t have the approval of God and is completely against these; all living beings are part and parcel of the Natural truth and are the place for the manifestation of Grace which is God’s Natural Manifestation; when God’s Natural Manifestation gets veiled, life’s nature will not be there, God’s natural manifestation and life’s natural manifestation are not contrary to each other; God’s natural manifestation and life’s manifestation reveal themselves in each and everybody; therefore, it should be understood that to kill a being to appease the hunger of another being is fully against the policy of showing compassion to all living beings’ – Swami Vallalar. GOD IN ALL BEINGS.

It is our conviction that all life forms are manifestations of God in the lower level of evolution and that human birth itself is a step forward from past existence to animal form. The difference between man and animals was only in terms of tattvas (principles) and gunas (qualities). Thus human life is precious because it is attained after many levels of existence in lower form. If the value of such an opportunity is ignored he will only degenerate into lower level again.

Value of Vegetarianism

This belief continues even today among the Pious. Not merely that. The devout person has a sense of gratitude towards all beings that help out in his existence. He respects all beings as himself. Each one of us can help prevent animals from killing simply by choosing vegetarian food. ‘Vegetarian diets can meet all the recommendation for nutrients’. One of the main goal of our Mission is to propagate the benefits of Vegetarianism by giving pamphlets, books, showing visual demonstration amongst the public.
