Swamiji, I am a vegetarian and I strongly believe that killing animals for just eating purpose is not right , when other options like being a vegetarian are available. But some argue that, then it is same with the case of plants because they are also alive. Swamiji, I strongly believe that we are depending mostly on the fruits and leave of plants which will again appear and consuming it will not destroy the whole plant. Also cutting down or destroying plants without any proper reason is also a big mistake. I am sure that you will be against killing animals for food. But am I correct Swamiji, I mean my argument about consuming plants is right or not? Because I stop arguing without proper knowledge about a subject, which may give a totally different picture to others. So please give me a correct explanation for the same Swamiji. Hari Om.

The fundamental question is to eat what is good for the body. Since food is life producing, the best food is close to live forms. That is why fresh fruits, nuts and raw vegetables are the best food. Anything you eat becomes a part of you. When you kill and eat a being that had emotions and a karma samskara with it, you will assimilate that into your being too. You don’t have to kill a plant to eat its leaves or fruits. But that is not the case with a creature. Moreover, science has proven beyond doubt that non- veg is not a preferred food for human body. Hari Om.
