Do not eat meat
Evening prayer brings teachings on yoga and compassion, emphasizing dietary discipline and protection of all beings.
Yoga is the science of humans, given by God. God commanded to give everything and follow divine instruction. God did not permit eating animal meat. Humans are provided different nourishment. The corona waves passed and many in many countries abandoned alcohol, meat, and eggs. People now seek vegetarianism and veganism. Vegans refrain from destroying or disturbing animals. Every mother produces milk for her young. Taking milk excessively from cows and buffaloes is wrong. Taking honey from bees and feeding them sugar water is not right. Vegan understanding spread from yoga teachings fifty-one years ago. Western people learned and now avoid killing animals. Indians were traditionally vegetarian, but now many eat meat, fish, and eggs, causing suffering. Western countries show more cancers; before death, there is suffering. Real yoga students bring yoga back to India, teaching no alcohol, tobacco, eggs, or meat. Yoga is for all, beyond the body, requiring movement further to protect animals and vegetation.
"God said, 'I did not give you to eat the meat of the animals.'"
"Do not take alcohol, do not take anything, tobacco, no eggs, no meat."
