In the UK the week of May 23rd-29th is National Vegetarian Week, but here we only celebrate this sort of compassion for 1 day in the fall. NOT ANY MORE! This year we begin Vegetarian Week and we’re hoping you all would like to join us in helping to spread the word of compassion and love for ALL creatures, not just those of human decent.
In yoga we practice Ahimsa, Non-Violence, and as vegetarians and vegan we practice compassion. To quote Gandhi
I hold flesh-food to be unsuited to our species. We err in copying the lower animal world if we are superior to it.
