VIRCHAND RAGHAVJI GANDHI (VRG, 1864-1901) QUOTE on Vegetarianism “The heart of vegetarians is healed sooner than those of flesh-eaters.”
19th Century Indian Legend, Virchand Raghavji Gandhi (1864-1901) was a visionary too. He talked about economic and political freedom five decades before India became independent. In One of his speeches to the American Public he declared “You know, my brothers and sisters, that we are not an independent nation, we are subjects of Her Gracious Majesty, Queen Victoria, the ‘Defender of the Faith’. But if we were a nation in all that that word implies, with our own government and our own rulers, with our laws and institutions controlled by us free and independent, I affirm that we should seek to establish and forever maintain peaceful relations with all nations of the world.” Today this statement appears as a prophecy that Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) proved in attaining India’s freedom with peaceful means.
