The Ultimate Yogic Diet
Yogis have a long tradition of eschewing meat, in part because our practice teaches that we are connected to all living beings. The word yoga literally means "yoke" or union. Chuck explains that for him vegetarianism is "part of realizing a connection with the rest of the world and not wanting to do harm if we don't have to." This concept of non-violence is a central tenant to the yogic ethical principles known as the yamas and niyamas. Yamas (roughly translated as restraints) are practices to prevent harmful behaviors such as lying, violence, theft, greed, or sexual excess, while the niyamas (observances) cultivate positive outcomes like discipline, purity, contentment, self-study, and surrender to God. These ten moral teachings form the base of the classical yogic system outlined thousands of years ago. In this traditional approach, the yamas and niyamas precede the physical exercises, breath work, and meditation???implying that attention to our moral character is a primary imperative of practicing yoga.

A Pastor's View On Eating Mercifully
Justin Bills is an associate pastor at Canyon Creek Fellowship Church in SE, Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Originally published 3-29-09, in the S.E. Calgary News. Reprinted with permission. I've been on an interesting process over the last week or so. Animal care is a "Christian" thing. In fact, I believe God cares more about animals than what most of us are taught to think.
