10-VegetarianismEdmund Burke, a British statesmen, he had said that there can be nothing that can help evil to be triumphant as when good people don’t do anything.

“Activism, compassionate activism, to bring education and awareness to people is so critically important today.”- Radhanath Swami

Almost all of us are aware of the incredible statistics that are coming out about the dangers of a meat based diet, not only to health, not only to the aesthetic value of the human mind, but to the environment, and to the human population.

Recently I heard a static: every day worldwide about 2 billion animals are killed. What is the karma! Any pain inflicted on any living being is bound to come back to us, not only does it come back to the person killing, but it affects the world. I read that 40,000 potatoes can grow on 1 acre of land, or else we could produce only 250 pounds of meat through the same amount of land.

The starvation in the world is not due to a lack of food; that’s secondary. The hunger in the world is due to a lack of human compassion. If we utilize the resources of Mother Nature, the resources that God has given us in a responsible compassionate way, the conclusion is, we have to transcend this meat eating civilization. The amount of water, the amount of land, and the pollution it creates, it’s unsustainable, and it’s unnatural. We have to be the change we want to see in the world.

  9. Animals are also part of living society and therefore they have equal right to live in this world without any abuse by responsible species like human beings.They are also part and parcel of Supreme Personality of Godhead Lord Sri Krishna.So we should follow the advice given herein by HH.Radhanath Swami.Thank you very much for nice article.

    “there can be nothing that can help evil to be triumphant as when good people don’t do anything,.”

  16. Its our misfortune that we are not able to hear the admonish of great saints like HH Radhanath Swami and continuing to live our own ways of life, indiscriminately killing animals without compassion.

  17. Eye-opening article! Gives us an insight as to why we are all suffering in this world.

  18. Yes! we have to stop this senseless killing of Animals!Also, we have to stop Selective compassion between species and be Holistic in our approach

  19. Simple statistics with simple message yet its filled with a lot of gravity, we should realise that and take corrective measure to resolve it, Radhanath Swami beautifully explains this. Thank you for sharing.

  22. Very true – Edmund Burke had said that there can be nothing that can help evil to be triumphant as when good people don’t do anything; Activism, compassionate activism, to bring education and awareness to people is so critically important today

  23. HH Radhanath Swami Maharah has pointed out a very critical problem in the current times. Only by making people Krishna Concious can we solve this problem.

  24. This is very true. As HH Radhanath Swami nicely explains the humanity will realise the best benefits of human form only by stopping the animal killing and developing compassionate heart.
