My Expereiences as a Vegetarian July 03, 2008 12:42 AM

Hi Everyone.

I am a born Vegetarian - in our community we do not know what is Non Vegetarian food. In my younger days  I have not seen an egg either. But when I joined the Air Force to become a Pilot there  wasno  difficulty  to  go through the rigers of Military training  without any set back. I played all games,  climbed  high mountains, walked many miles in the thick jungles and   flew in different types of Aircraft all over my country and in other countries too, and I  participated  in three major Wars . There was no problem at all.

In fact, in the field areas during  actual hostilities it was dificult get Meat and Chicken or Fish. My collegues who were otherwise meat eatere were forced to be vegetarian for many days. They changed over to vegetarian food  as they realized that  they could remain fit and healthy withou Meat etc.

Whereas during my tenure in European Countries I had some difficulty. I survived on  Milk, Bread, cheese and salad etc. After a few days I  found that there were many vegetarian restaurants and self service counters that offered Total vegetarian food.

With my  70 plus years  experience  I can  positively say that one can lead  healthy, strong, happy and guilt free  life.

If one looks at the ethical part of life - a Vegetarian is by habit and by nature  a contributor to the general good of all that lives on this planet. A vegetarian  naturally contributes towards reducing Global warming. A vegetarian by nature has compassion for all that lives on this planet.

Thank you Ayasha for the fine comment.

All vegetarian food is automatically blessed by God - Lord Krishna.

" ANNAM  BRAHMETH I VYAJAANATH "  meaning

 A knowledgeable person Considers  Food as the Manifestation of God .

"Thathariya Upanishad - Sikshaavalli - Cahapter II - Second Avuvaaka " - advice given given  to the students during the the very first convocation in  this world

I think it will be worth reading for all of us to know how you turned a new leaf in  becoming a Vegetarian.

You deserve a Glittering Green Star 20071204090748_13.gif picture by gpcaptraj
