Do not eat meat
The essence of devotion and righteous living is found in the Guru's grace and adherence to dharma. The Guru is the root of meditation, worship, mantra, and liberation. All glory belongs to the divine teachers and manifestations. True practice requires singing together in devotion. The core teaching is that real yoga necessitates a pure lifestyle. One must first abandon alcohol, tobacco, eggs, and meat. These are not given for human consumption. Many suffer disease from such diets. A global shift is occurring where some are adopting vegetarianism while others are straying. To learn real yoga, one must live according to these principles and protect all life, including animals and nature. This practice is the rightful wealth of this land.
"Dhyāna mūlaṁ gurur mūrtiḥ, pūjā mūlaṁ guru pādam, mantra mūlaṁ guru vākyam, mokṣa mūlaṁ guru kṛpām."
"Why should I be hungry when I am at your doorstep?"
