How we treat others will determine how others treat us, and how others treat us will determine who we are.
Sharon Gannon
If we weren't so dirt-conscious, we would obtain adequate vitamin B12 from soil, air, water, and bacteria, but we meticulously wash and peel our vegetables now - and with good reason, as we can't be sure our soil is not contaminated with pesticides and herbicides.

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.
Sharon Gannon
Be confident in yourself, in your abilities, and in your goals. Then go for it.

On average, most people consume between 100 - 120 grams of protein per day. Not only is that unhealthy, it's extremely dangerous, as the majority of the protein consumed is animal based.

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.
Sharon Gannon
It is true that every being is enjoying life or suffering as a direct result of his or her own past actions. The animals in the factory farms may have been meat-eating human beings in a previous birth we don't know, and it is not our place to judge.
Sharon Gannon
Remember that everyone you see and every situation you find yourself in has come from inside of you you have created your reality by how you have treated others in your past.

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
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
I'm totally into veganism and animal rights, but I'm not into being an angry and judgmental activist.
Sharon Gannon
What we do to others will come back to us.
Sharon Gannon
When we have a choice it is always best to choose kindness. Veganism is simply the kinder choice.
Sharon Gannon
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.
Sharon Gannon
Eating a vegetarian diet can contribute more to saving ourselves and the planet than any other single effort.
Sharon Gannon
To be alive is to be breathing.
Sharon Gannon
If you want to know if someone is a spiritual being ask yourself, Is he or she breathing? If the answer is yes, then you know that you are in the presence of a spiritual being.
