Never eat meat
A spiritual talk advocating for vegetarianism and traditional values within yoga practice.
"People also say, 'Yes, we are coming more and more.' Unfortunately, much of this is coming from India now, for yoga practice... but they also say that if they want, they can eat meat too. And that is not good."
"You know that people who eat meat, at a certain age... they cannot even speak. And many, many people cannot think anything. This is because of the meat."
The speaker addresses an audience, expressing concern that modern yoga teachings from India are permitting meat consumption, which they see as a decline from pure, traditional practices. They praise the audience for maintaining vegetarianism and call for a return to strict principles, linking diet to spiritual and physical health. The talk concludes with an abrupt shift to advising on strong family and marital bonds.
