00:00Why were so many vegetarians found in India since so long?

00:03The per capita meat consumption in India is among the lowest in the world.

00:08You have Pakistan and Bangladesh, both carved out of India, there the per capita meat consumption

00:13is four times that of India.

00:17So what is it that has kept Indians relatively kind towards animals?

00:23It is spirituality and it is spirituality alone.

00:27Very few people are aware of the kind of damage that their food habits are causing to the

00:33earth.

00:34Because you want meat, so much forest has to be cleared and that leads to extinction of

00:40so many species on a daily basis.

00:42When you clear away the forest and you grow these crops, 70% of that is being used to feed

00:47the animals and that is also the cause of water shortage and the problem of global hunger.

00:55The vegan movement has to progress from a position of liberalism to a position of liberation.

01:09Liberation from what?

01:10Liberation from my own self.

01:12Liberation from my lust to consume.

01:15Fundamentally all the problems are originating from a common core.

01:20And that common core is internal human ignorance.

01:24If you can take care of internal human ignorance, you will take care of all the problems.
