a veggie myself, i am a strong adherent to vegetarianism. my ideology lies behind the discrete walls of non-violence and are strongly based on religious terms. according to the holy Puranas and the Bhagavad Gita, man are here on earth, not to quarrel like cats and dogs but are here with a divine purpose. a purpose rectangled between sustenance and finding answers. as such , he must, regardless of necessity, practice spirituality.
