Food for the Inner Quest

Answers

Sri Chinmoy asks his students to stop eating meat to avoid taking in the restless and agressive qualities it embodies. We have included here some of his feelings on the role of a vegetarian diet in his spiritual philosophy and its importance to a spiritual aspirant.

Vegetarian eating...made easy!

 In our introductory meditation classes, we encounter many people who would like to explore a vegetarian diet but who have worries about nutrition or simply don't know what to put on the dinner plate in place of meat. To adress some of these concerns, the Dublin Sri Chinmoy Centre has put together a guide with answers, simple recipes and an index to vegetarian Dublin!

The guide has recipes for busy schedules as well as suggestions for the adventurous ones wanting to explore the possibilities of a vegetarian diet.
It also answers the following common questions:

What can I put instead of meat on the dinner table?

Isn't a vegetarian diet lacking in protein and iron?

But don't you need meat for strength?
