Will look forward to your vegetarianism mentions in future articles.

“ven many animals are vegetarians and there is nothing to take pride in” – very true. I have seen many these days who behave “transformed” overnight after becoming vegetarians lol…

But I want this series to be as focused as possible. And I thought I had it all figured out until this whole trip of mine happened.

I believe I can get it to a more focused approach going forward, with some extra divine grace. :)

In brief, yes, the Vedas do recommend vegetarianism for spiritual practice. I am not an expert in Vedas to actually show and quote, but if you look at the teachings of almost any Vedic sampradaya, you will see that the Acharyas, who have explained the Vedas in detail, do have vegetarianism as a requirement for spiritual practice.

There are several reasons for such a regulation which I will be addressing in my forthcoming articles, like the ‘principle’ behind vegetarianism as well as several other austerities that are required.

I do not, however, want anyone to feel here like being vegetarian is ‘superior’. Even many animals are vegetarians and there is nothing to take pride in. It is to merely aid in achieving spiritual progress.

I would love to read more of the series.
