3. Vegetarianism as a Lifestyle

The human body is naturally designed for vegetarian food. The inner mechanisms like feeling, thinking, words, everything is designed to function with vegetarian food. It is like having a generator which can handle only 220 Volt current, or a UPS which can handle only 220 Volt current, but itis given 20,000 Volts current. What will happen? It will get fused. Same way, if the system is designed by the nature for vegetarian food and non-vegetarian food is constantly dumped into it due to ignorance, the results will need to be faced. Many people present unwarranted arguments like, "No, in the ancient times, human-beings were nonvegetarians."

No, they were fruit-eaters. They were vegetarians, leaf eaters, fruit eaters. Only when they started killing animals to save themselves, to protect themselves, they started thinking that disposing of the dead animals is a very difficult job; eating them might be a better way of disposal. That is the way first human beings started making their stomach a graveyard for animals. Originally, humans were not designed for

meat eating. Basically, the human body is designed for vegetarianism.

The food without anxiety, fear, depression bio-memories, if they are consumed by a person, the energy with which they think, the energy with which they utter words, the energy with which they act, the energy with which they feel, everything will be aligned to the natural source of energy; it will be aligned to nature which is the inner potential energy. Unfortunately, the food with fear, depression, anxiety bio-memory, because of its popularity and availability became a mainstream lifestyle. This was one of the greatest calamities that happened to humanity.

In Sanskrit we have three words: Jaati Dosha, Nimitta Dosha and Aashreya Dosha. They mean: food getting impure "by its nature", "by its muscle memory", and "by the persons handling it".

Jaati Dosha - By its nature: if it is obtained by stealing or killing, or depriving somebody, it is impure food because if it is stolen food, even while you eat, you will have the anxiety to quickly grab it, finish it off before it gets snatched away. By its nature if it is stolen, robbed, after killing, it is impure. In the first level itself, non vegetarian food is impure because the flesh of an animal is stolen after killing it.

Nimitta Dosha - By its muscle memory: the way the food comes to someone. When it comes to someone, the non-vegetarian food comes with so much of anger, fear, depression bio-memories filled in it. It can never be anywhere near to pure food.

Aashreya Dosha – By the people who handle it, touch it: Non vegetarian food is touched by people who kill the animal! Anything which is touched by a murderer is going to carry that energy in it. So, the person adds a little more poison as his contribution.

This explains the amount of impurity the non vegetarian food carries.

Vegetarian food, on the contrary, is a natural part of the whole bio-energy. With the vegetarian diet, the thinking becomes more subtle and settled. The agitation, aggression disappears.

"I have seen in my life, in my travels all over the world - meeting different cultures, civilization, people and I can tell you from my experience, people who live as vegetarians, their bioenergy is very high, their bio-memory is very high. I can give you various deeper understandings about it.

Constantly, the emotions that are cherished become the source of bioenergy. Whatever is the source of someone's bio-energy impacts their thinking. It is like a vicious circle. Just the right food, the pure food, which is pure by its nature, by right persons handling it, and right way it is brought to you, this pure food alone is enough to kindle, awaken the natural energy you are carrying, what I call 'Kundalini Shakti' or 'inner potential energy' or your 'bio-energy.'

All human beings who are seeking the spiritual life should live a vegetarian lifestyle. If one understands this truth – 'You become what you eat, what you eat becomes you' – one can see very clearly how the non vegetarian food adversely impacts the bio-memory and muscle-memory, and how vegetarian food comes to you with higher intelligences like producing energy directly from ether, air and space, and going to become part of you."

Non vegetarian food destroys all possibilities of manifesting powers and awakening the Third Eye. All powers manifest from Oneness with Sadashiva. Non vegetarianism is completely opposite to the principle of Oneness. When operating from Oneness with the Whole, one cannot even think of killing another being for a snack! The depressed bio-memory of the killed animals, when ingested, does not allow the body and mind to

settle with higher experiences and elevated states of consciousness. It continues to keep the body and mind in binding, depressing thought currents.

Vegetarianism is the biggest pre-requisite for manifesting the powers of Sadashiva. It not only supports Third Eye AwakeningSM , but also tunes the body and mind to receive and retain the highest experiences and initiations when showered by The Avatar™. Vegetarianism is the lifestyle of enlightenment.

Ma Nithya Shambhavananda, Nithyananda GurukulSM Student on Vegetarianism and Third Eye AwakeningSM

"I am Ma Nithya Shambhavananda and I am eleven years old. I have been at the Nithyananda Gurukul for about 4 years now. For me, the most exciting thing about being in the Gurukul is the Shaktis, the powers which we are expressing.

We do everything through the powers. We study through the powers. If we want to watch a movie, we tie our eyes and watch the movie. We do everything with our eyes closed. It's like we have the power of seeing without our eyes.

Everyone has a Third Eye but for generations, people have starting neglecting it. They started eating non vegetarian food, which actually blocks the Third Eye. With just one initiation from Paramahamsa Nithyananda, it will immediately open and you will be able to read blindfolded. For kids, 10 days is the maximum time needed and for adults 21 days. You will be able to read 100% through the Third Eye.

I'm vegetarian and vegan and I don't eat mushrooms, onion, garlic and so on. Once, while we were on a flight, they gave us sandwiches and without even opening it I told my mom, 'Don't eat that. It has mushroom.' My mom didn't believe me and she was just about to eat it. I told her to just check before eating it. She opened it and saw that it had mushroom in it. So that is what I feel is the coolest thing, it helps me know what is the right and wrong thing.

Swamiji says that mushrooms also have biomemory. Biomemory is something which can store pain and suffering. That's why we don't eat meat also. Because the biomemory of animals will store the suffering and the pain it had while it was dying. The mushroom will store the pain and the pain will become part of us and leave a very deep impression on our personality if we consume it."
