Скачать или смотреть Why Hinduism Champions Vegetarianism as an Aid to Samadhi

A detailed look at why the Hindu system of Yoga emphasizes a pure vegetarian or "sattvic diet", as critical to the attainment of "Samadhi" or God-realization.

While watching the video please note that the following terms are synonymous, they all mean the same thing: Samadhi = God Realization = Self-Realization = Soul Realization.
