  1. SWAMINARAYAN DIET & FOODS:

    All the prominent scriptures of Hinduism declare that all Hindus must have a pure vegetarian diet.  God and great Rishis have preached vegetarianism throughout time, the reasons behind this are simple and are very relevant in today’s society.

    The code of a vegetarian diet stems directly from the principle of Ahimsa.  In the eyes of God all forms of life are sacred and equal.  God alone, is the creator of all forms of life.  He alone creates and ceases life.  Therefore, as humans we do not have the power nor the authority to take the life of another creature.

    We must not consume meat under any circumstance, as this would involve killing another life.  This principle also applies in situations of extreme starvation.

    The consumption of eggs is prohibited.  Life commences in the form of an egg and therefore consumption of eggs is also deemed to be the taking of a life, since one will be partaking in ceasing a life in its infancy.

    Acceptable foods are vegetables, fruits, rice, dals, beans, pulses, legumes.....
