A California based blog on the compassion and health aspects of Veganism from a Jain perspective.

This website provides information related to Veganism and Jainism. It contains resources related to health, community, and spiritual/religious debate. Jainism is an ancient Indian religion with an ethic and practice that places paramount value on ahimsa, which can be translated as nonviolence, harmlessness, and in its positive aspect, is also associated with karuna or jivdaya, compassion for all life. On this site, we explore veganism, renouncing the use and abuse of animals in all forms,  and especially in food, as a modern expression for ahimsa.
