To the vegans I love.... I personally live within a vast culture of people who are deeply rooted in the healing arts. Within this culture, is a broad community who practices yoga. Those who are deeply familiar with yoga understand Patanjali’s yoga sutras, namely the first limb, Ahimsa: Non-harming. With this sutra, many believe (and do not typically hesitate to help other’s understand) that veganism and vegetarianism coincide with Ahimsa. I have encountered many direct and indirect interactions with vegans and have done much of my own meditation and contemplation on this subject with regard to their views and I have come to an understanding that I feel is more true and correct than the generalized “non-harming = non meat eater” idea. So here it is.... and truly does come from a place of love....
With all my love... Raiya |
