Sometimes the question is put before us: "You ask us not to eat meat, but you are eating vegetables. Do you think that is not violence?"

If you are slaughtering animals and you are comparing that killing of the vegetables and the killing of the animals is the same, then killing your son and killing an animal is also the same. Why do you discriminate?

One life is meant to be eaten by another. That is nature's law. But we should use discrimination in what kind of foodstuff we shall eat

Vegetarianism

It is not a question of vegetarian or nonvegetarian

In India, eighty percent people, they are vegetarian. They are living very nicely

Animal food is not meant for the human being. For chewing solid food, the human being has a particular type of teeth meant for cutting fruits and vegetables

A tiger may eat meat. It is a tiger. But I am not a tiger. I am a human being

Everything is food, that's all right. But you can take only what is allotted for you, that's all

Even George Bernard Shaw has written, "You are what you eat"...

A devotee eats only prasāda, or foodstuffs offered to the Supreme Lord
