There are various reasons why people turn vegetarian or vegan. They want to live longer, live healthier; some out of respect to animals; others are for religious or spiritual reasons. There are countless researches that prove the physical the benefits of a plant-based diet.

In my 14 years of being a vegetarian, I have come to experience a simple principle “as your food so your mind”

The quality of food we put into our body does affect our mind, and eventually the soul. Eating vegetables that were merely harvested and not slaughtered brings a more peaceful, calm, non-violent energy into our body.

How we cook food is equally important. Cooking on our own instead of ordering food from outside enables us to have  full control over the ingredients, which not only affects flavor but also impacts on quality and hygiene. Most importantly, food cooked  in the consciousness of unconditional love, peace and Godly remembrance infuses pure vibrations into the food that affects one's state of mind. An essential factor for those who wish to have greater experience of deep peace and silence.

Finally, eating in Godly remembrance as well as practicing gratitude while eating brings utmost benefit as it recognizes that these truly are God’s graces.
