Introduction by Shirley Marie Bradby (MiraBai Devi Dasi)
It does not matter whether you possess a high IQ or not….everyone can be smart enough to know what is good for them….both materially and spiritually! : )
If you are truly interested in JALEBI Music and its message of transcendental love, peace and harmony…….. then you should know that all of the JALEBI band members are not only VEGETARIANS but we are also SPIRITUALISTS.
As devotees of Sri Krsna we do not eat fish, eggs or meat. Moreover as spiritual vegetarians not only do we respect all animal and other life forms but we also honor and respect plant life by offering all of our vegetarian foodstuffs to God before we consume them. We do this because in the Bhagavad-Gita, Sri Krsna explicitly says, “If one offers me with love an devotion a leaf, a flower, fruit or water, I will accept it.” (B.G. 9.26)
Every religious and spiritual path asks it followers to pray to God in love and gratitude for sustaining our physical bodies and to pray most of all to stay connected with God so as to make spiritual progress.
There are various rituals for different religions and spiritual paths but all true spiritualists know that the real rule of conduct is to act with LOVE and COMPASSION. When your heart is full of spiritual and transcendental love you would never even dream of hurting.... much less killing…… any living entity for any reason….much less for so-called gastronomical pleasure.
Besides….. if another living entity gives up its body and therefore its life….. to sustain ours then there should be at least respect and gratitude on our part, right? And if we can sustain our bodies without unnecessary violence and killing all the better! By becoming a vegetarian a person is at least demonstrating that they are truly trying to practice the love, peace and harmony that the world is saying it so desperately needs!
Where is the love and respect ….and compassion…..when a cow, pig, chicken, lamb, turkey, goat, etc is killed just because they “taste good”? If you think about it….. all animal slaughter is practically premeditated murder. The step between killing an animal because we “need to eat it” to killing other human beings because they have something we “ need” (land, natural resources, money, love, sex, etc) is often a short and quick one. Animal killing decreases our capacity for respect and compassion for other living entities. Think about it. Let’s get and stay….smart!
By the way….. even if you are not inclined to be a spiritualist..... a vegetarian diet .....just considering the material and physical aspects.... is an intelligent move towards a longer and healthier life! Please read my blog that contains the article entitled "Kids With High IQs Grow Up to Be Vegetarians" to learn more!
Why can't ALL animals (not just our pets!!!) be treated with respect and ....compassion?
In addition to the blog containing the article I have also posted a third blog about being a spiritual vegetarian in which I share a personal story with you. I hope that you will share your thoughts and comments with me. Thank you! :)
