More quotes by 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
You cannot do yoga. Yoga is your natural state.

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
To be political actually means to care about your community.
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
If you practice Yoga for small, selfish reasons, you will remain the same, bound by your beliefs about what you can and cannot do. Let go and offer your effort to limitless potential. Dedicate yourself to the happiness of all beings.
Sharon Gannon
The enemy of the spirit is the selfish ego, which thinks that happiness can be gained through causing unhappiness and disharmony to others. In many ancient languages, the word for enemy means one who falls out of rhythm one who is not working in harmony with the larger group.

Today aged foods like sauerkraut, miso, and tempeh are fermented in hygienically sanitized stainless-steel vats to assure cleanliness, so we can no longer be sure they will provide us with the B12 we need. Vegans should not mess around with this issue.
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
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.

Fishing is taking a huge toll on the planet's ecosystem.
Sharon Gannon
When we have a choice it is always best to choose kindness. Veganism is simply the kinder choice.
Sharon Gannon
Animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, use for entertainment or for any exploitative purpose.
Sharon Gannon
Vegan food is not only good for you, the animals, and the planet, but cooking vegan can be simple, easy, and fun.
Sharon Gannon
Fishing is not a benign activity it is hunting in the water.
Sharon Gannon
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.

Milk is for babies. Human beings are the only species that drinks milk into adulthood and besides that we prefer to drink the milk of another species (enslaved cows and goats), and we have come to consider it normal when, it is actually a pretty perverse form of sexual abuse!

Most of the plants grown to be fed to farm animals are heavily saturated with pesticides and herbicides and have been genetically modified, all of which contributes to the pollution and destruction of our environment, which harms us all.
Sharon Gannon
Human beings have been waging war and destroying the environment for long time. Just because it has been going on for a long time and become an unquestioned habit, does that mean it should be allowed to continue.
Sharon Gannon
What you eat should not just be good for you but it should contribute to your happiness it should make you a happier person.
