A London youth showed Swamishri a doctor’s prescription saying that he should eat eggs. “The doctors will tell you and so will your friends,” Swamishri retorted. “Look at me, I don’t take meat and I’m still alive! No one is dying! Our rishis lived in the Himalayas with half-naked bodies and lived for thousands of years. Do you know this? Western culture wants to change us, it wants us to forget our culture, and so gives such advice. There is so much else to eat. Take milk and ghee. They are more nutritious than eggs and build the body. If someone cuts your body, will it not pain? Don’t these animals suffer? These Europeans stayed 150 years in India, did they adopt any of our ways? Here take a vow... We’ll have to safeguard our heritage!” He poured a little water into the youth’s right palm eliciting a promise from him to stop eating meat. |
