Don't wait for a better world. Start now to create a world of harmony and peace. It is up to you, and it always has been. You may even find the solution at the end of your fork.

Be a communicator, not a self-righteous proselytizer or preacher. Many people are only concerned with expressing themselves, which isn't necessarily communication.
Sharon Gannon
Be confident in yourself, in your abilities, and in your goals. Then go for it.

By choosing to be kind instead of cruel, we can break the karmic chain of reacting to violence with more violence, contributing to a more peaceful future for everyone.
Sharon Gannon
Enlightenment is the realization of the oneness of being, where otherness disappears.

Om Schooled is the perfect manual for anyone who wants to start teaching yoga to kids. This is not just a theoretical bookâit is a step-by-step manual. Sarah Herrington shares the wisdom she has gained from her day-to-day experiences, for many years, teaching all ages of children yoga in the New York School system.

Is it really that much better to make friends with animals before you kill them than to treat them as nameless, faceless objects before you kill them? From a yogic point of view, one must weigh the karmic consequences of perceiving others as mere objects to be used and the consequences of profiting from the suffering of others.

Farm animals, like dairy cows - who by nature are vegans - are routinely force-fed fish to increase their weight and milk production.
Sharon Gannon
The fact is that eating meat and dairy is bad for your health, the health of the animals eaten, as well as the health of the planet.
Sharon Gannon
Lions and other carnivorous animals do a lot of things besides eat meat. They live outdoors, not in houses they don't wear clothes or drive around in cars they usually sleep for many hours after eating a meal. Why cite just one of the many things that they do and argue that we should imitate them? This doesn't make much sense.
Sharon Gannon
We are the only animals who steal and drink the milk from other species.

Today's fishing industry supplies land farms with fish as well. Over fifty percent of the fish caught is fed to livestock on factory farms and regular farms. It is an ingredient in the enriched feed meal fed to livestock.

What we do to others will come back to us.

Choosing to be kind rather than to be cruel benefits everyone.
Sharon Gannon
Through the practice of yoga, you come to feel confident and develop a feeling of wholeness and completeness you are not likely to feel deprived or 'less than.' People steal because they feel deprived. They try to make up for their deficits by depriving others.
Sharon Gannon
Because of our unenlightenment, we do not know that what we do to others we ultimately do to ourselves.
Sharon Gannon
The most important thing to remember in life is to be kind.

In fact, studies show that vegans tend to get more iron than meat eaters. Vitamin C from fruits and vegetables increases iron absorption. Meanwhile, dairy products reduce iron absorption significantly.
Sharon Gannon
Knowing the truth about the hell-realms that animals have to endure, it would be wise of us to do our best now not to plant the karmic seeds that would cause us to be reborn as an animal in one of those hell realms.
Sharon Gannon
Don't try to do this by yourself: to become a good yogi you need a teacher. Find a teacher you can bow to, who can teach you how to be kind - how to serve others - because the key to enlightenment lies in that. Be humble, work hard, study and practice. Chant the Name of God, do japa and meditate, every day.
