Happy World Vegetarian Awareness Month

KUALU LUMPUR, MALAYSIA, November 24, 2004: The Malaysia Hindu Sangam President, Datuk A. Vaithilingam, issued the following statement:

I wish to inform you here that at the World Millennium Peace Conference for Spiritual and Religious Leaders held at the United Nation New York from 28-31 August, 2000, Rev. Dada J.P. Vaswani made repeated appeals on the need to save animals and thus suggested that more human beings should become vegetarian. Please note that I represented the Malaysian Consultative Council of Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism and Sikhism at the above conference. In this connection Dada Vaswani visited Malaysia in March this year and urged the Malaysians of all races and religion to support The International Meatless Day on November 25, 2004. Many leaders then pledged their support for November 25 to be declared as an annual Meatless Day. The purpose of this campaign is to promote compassion, non-violence and reverence for life. The campaign believes in awakening compassion in the hearts of people towards our fellow brothers and sisters in the animal kingdom. It is believed that reverence for life is but one step towards world peace.
 

I'm happy to inform that at the meeting of Hindu Organization Leaders held on November 22 in Kuala Lumpur leaders of the 26 organizations pledged that more than 2,000 followers will be a vegetarian on November 25, 2004. I take this opportunity to congratulate Mr. Pishu Murali Hassaram the chairman of the organizing committee based in Penang for having launched this programme on November 25 at the Esplanade, Penang under the distinguished Patronage of Tan Sri Koh Tsu Khoon, Chief Minister of Penang. I hope more Malaysian irrespective of race or religion will make November 25 each year a Meatless Day. Those who wish to know about the Meatless Day may look in the website http://www.geocities.com/HotSprings/Resort/1088.

Dear Prabhu,

Hare Krishna!

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupad. All glories to Sri Guru and Gauranga!

Madurai ISKCON observed World Vegetarian Day on 03.10.2004, Sunday evening in order to create awareness on consuming vegetarian food after seeing your e-mail.

On 1.10.2004 the local newspapers published an exclusive news item on World Vegetarian Day, which contained an article written by our TP (H.G.Shankhadhari Das, M.Tech., Ex. Scientist).

The articled highlighted the importance of vegetarian diet and the ill effects brought about by flesh foods. Moreover the newspapers also made a wide publicity of the World Vegetarian Day Awareness programme to be conducted on 3.10.2004. As a result, people from all walks of life took part in it.

In the programme, our TP advised the people to give up meat eating by scientifically presenting the facts as revealed in the sastras.

If you touch fire even knowingly or unknowingly, it will burn:
---------------------------------------------------------------
In his speech, he pointed out that for every good or bad action we do, there will be reaction. If we touch fire even knowingly or unknowingly, it will burn us. Similarly, even if we do not understand the reaction for our action, we have to face the reaction. This is the law of nature. Hence a man who kills another living entity will have to experience the reaction also. Some people tell that they are not involved in killing. Only someone kills the animal and they simply eat it. But all those who are involved in killing an animal - one who permits the killing, one who kills, one who helps the killer, one who buys, one who cooks and one who eats are criminals jus as those who conspire a murder are equally punishable.

The Taste is due to ingredients; not due to meat:
--------------------------------------------------
In the question and answer session, there arose a controversy regarding the taste of flesh foods. Our TP explained that meat has no taste. It appears to be tasty only because of the pungent ingredients we add to the meat. In actuality, raw meat has no taste but it is highly abominable. The pungent items mixed with meat lead to the wrong notion that meat is tasty.

Evidences for vegetarian food as a wholesome & healthy food:
--------------------------------------------------------------
Our TP also referred to the Health Nutrition Chart - Bulletin No: 23 released by the Government of India, which contains details on the nutrients of food items. It is clear from the chart that only vegetarian food has all the nutrients required for a human being, For instance, 100 gram egg and 100 gram meat and chicken contain only 173 calorie and 194 calorie respectively. But green gram (100 g), which we regularly use, contains 372 calorie. Moreover milk products; grains, beans, dhal, groundnuts etc. have more calorie than green gram. Many doctors and scientists have proved that vegetarian foods increase the duration of life and keep the body healthy.

Video CD shows on opinions of famous medical practitioners:
----------------------------------------------------------
A video-CD show on the lectures of many famous doctors on the significance of vegetarian diet was show to the people and this is an indication that most of the foreigners are turning into strict vegetarians.

The Easy way to give up meat eating:
------------------------------------
By Chanting "Hare Krishna Hare Krishna; Krishna Krishna Hare Hare; Hare Rama Hare Rama; Rama Rama Hare Hare", a minimum of 108 times every day, one can give up meat-eating very soon. By this practice, hundreds of thousands of people have given up eating flesh food and as a result attained peace of mind and purity.

Vegetarian Prasadam:
--------------------
At the end of the programme, all the participants were provided with sumptuous Krishna Prasadam. A hand book on "Do we need flesh food?" was distributed to all along with a booklet on "Japa dhyana" in a nominal price.

Accolades by Newspapers:
------------------------
All the major newspapers like THe Hindu, Indian Express, Dinamalar, Dinamani, Daily Thanthi, Dinakaran etc. published the news with photographs. This paved the way for the people to realize the importance of vegetarian food.

I express my sincere thanks for your valuable guidance (e-mail) and others who helped you.

Hare Krishna!

category for it:

You'll also notice that for October we have a book sale of our Living a Good

childcare and the teen years, not to mention adults and the elderly.  We've
just reprinted more copies as a result of recent demand, and these are selling
well, with the proceeds going to vegetarian products including a farm animal
sanctuary down our way.  It would be great if you could promote the book - if
you are willing to do that I can send you a complimentary copy... just a
thought.

Welcome to ISKCON Sydney's e-newsletter.

Today is World Vegetarian Day so please visit the link below to read all about the event and how it can be relevant to us as Krishna's devotees. Vegetarianism is a big step towards spiritual life, so those who aren't already practising should seriously consider doing so in order to relieve themselves of a great deal of karma and enable access to understanding the Supreme Lord in truth.

Feed the World Week Oct 15-21

http://www.ffl.org/html/feed_the_world.html

http://www.ffl.org/html/fww_background.html

Saturday, November 23, 1996 marked the inauguration of Feed the World Day (FWD). On this day, Food for Life volunteers and friends in over 100 countries served karma-free vegetarian meals in honor of the Centennial of Srila Prabhupada (1896-1996), the founder of Hare Krishna Food for Life. More..... Srila Prabhupada wrote: "Simply by liberal distribution of prasadam,* the whole world can become peaceful and prosperous [SB  4.12.10]." "...one earns happiness by making the cows and bulls happy." In 1997, in order to facilitate greater cooperation and to increase food distribution, the event was expanded another 6 days and renamed "Feed the World Week (Oct 15-21)

A Call for Action!

October 15-21 will mark the annual observance of Feed the World Week (FWW). During this week, Food for Life volunteers and concerned vegetarians in over 60 countries will serve out more than 2 million karma-free vegetarian meals to the world!

Feed the World Week is based on a simple principle. For one week, the world should experience a wholesome, nonviolent, karma-free diet, and thus pave the way for a peaceful and hunger-free world.

Feed the World Week is an open community event for raising awareness of the world’s chronic hunger problem that has seen, for example, 300,000 children die in Northern Korea in one month.

Feed the World Week is a call for action, for the world to move away from the meat-based diet—that robs the earth of vital resources and leaves billions homeless and hungry. “Most non-vegetarians are unaware,” explains Paul Turner, Global director of Food for Life, “that more than 70% of the world’s grain production is fed to livestock destined for slaughterhouses. That same grain could feed humans. Every year, millions of children in the developing world die from hunger, alongside fields of fodder destined for the West’s livestock.”

In an attempt to correct this imbalance of the earth’s resources, Hare Krishna Food for Life volunteers daily distribute fifty thousand karma-free meals to the needy of the world!

During Feed the World Week, we share vegetarian food in remembrance of the world’s 1.3 billion hungry. “The fact is,” says Turner, “if Americans reduced their meat consumption by 10 percent, enough grains would be saved to feed sixty million people!”
*Prasadam: Sanctified vegetarian food that has first been offered to God and which then becomes "karma-free" or spiritually purified.

Dear Prabhu,

        PAMHO. AGTSP.

We have already distributed more than 15000 booklets on veg. and how to give up non veg by chanting mahamantra.

Also on Oct 1, we plan to introduce the concept of veg. to school students.  We plan to use newspapers for the public awareness.

It is a pleasant surprize that by chanting around 1100 families and more than 700 students gave up non veg.

Thanking you.

Your servant,
Shankhadhari Das.

Dear devotee,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

For 1st October I would like to share this peace house idea with many people. Nonviolence is essential for peace, so all foods have to be vegetarian.

I had this idea about one year ago. 3 events happened that inspired me and which made me realize that we have a genuine need for these peace houses. I try to start one in Antwerp Belgium and one friend is busy in het city Houten in Holland. We get nice feedback

1) when the war in Iraque 'ended' and American soldiers gave western magazines to Iraq soldiers they refused them. It is pornography for Muslims. I thought they have no understanding of each other. Where is common ground to meet?

2) I also saw at that time a documentary of 2 man (one Jew, one Muslim) in Jeruzalem who underwent treatment for their alcohol addiction. In the beginning each one said how he hated the other. After living together in the clinic they said in the end, while embrazing, how they loved each other.

3) Before I always did my laundry in the laundrynet and had many discussions with locals, Muslims,Christians etc on vegetarianism, religion etc. Since I moved house and have a washingmachine I did not have any deeper discussion anymore just with people you meet, accept for harinam sankirtan and bookdistribution.

Could you send the peace house idea and advantages list to all the people which were co receivers of your letter. I don't know how to do it accept for typing it one by one...
I hope you can open the attached files. Please let me know.

I would like to receive feedback from people.
