Vegan Jains
 | Svetambar Muni encourages veganismby drjina |
In the past we posted a Youtube Video of a Digambar muni who recognized the violence in dairy production and consumption. Now the Svetamabar tradition is represented! This muni discusses how our Tirthankars and disciples did drink milk and even broke fasts with kheer, but how our current consumption is cruel and unhealthy. He has been vegan for 6 years and has noticed a difference in his way of thinking.
I will post additional translation when available. He has quite a charismatic speaking style, and those of you that understand Gujarati may enjoy it as is!
