MESSAGE ON VEGETARIANISM
By His Excellency Mr. Mohd. Fazal, Governor of Goa, 2001, and of Mumbai, 2003
In the words of H. E. Mr. Modh. Fazal, Governor of Mumbai, and a vegetarian: The concept of vegetarianism has deep-rooted values and relevance to the physical, mental and material development of mankind, and to the moral, spiritual and philosophical aspects of life of the people.
In India, our culture and civilization were, in the previous centuries, the fountainhead of Philosophy, Science, and Technology, which helped the West to use some of our basic knowledge in mathematics, technology and philosophy and with their own development make strides in all these areas.
Jain Education International
The emphasis is that a vegetarian diet has always been responding for not only to the well being of our society, but also for the all-around development of intellectual capabilities, economical and scientific diets, a healthy physique, and a peaceful state of mind.
