There is no doubt that Acharya Shri Amrender Muni Ji Maharaj has a magic touch which transforms people's hearts. In his company, one automatically feels infused with a spiritual quality, negativities dissolve and a positive upliftment of the soul takes place.
In America, Bahrain and Muscat thousands of people have taken initiation from him in which one does not have to wear the robes of a renunciant but rather renounce inner vices and lead a pure life without causing harm to any living being.
Guruji advocates chanting of the Namokar Mantra daily in the morning and evening, as well engaging in the service of mankind, eating only vegetarian food and avoiding alcohol and smoking.
Regarding the benefits of a vegetarian diet, Guruji says:
“Vegetarianism is in all ways the basis of a happy and healthy life. No one starts life as a meat eater. When a child is born his mothers milk gives him nourishment and slowly he grows bigger and stronger. Under the influence of modern ways of thinking, we start feeding the child eggs in one form or the other. It is a strange fact that even habitual vegetarians have now started eating eggs thinking that there is no life within them. This is wrong and we must correct this impression. The egg comes not from any tree or plant, but straight from the mother's womb. Unfertilised eggs can be compared to the monthly bleeding of women. Even unfertilized eggs have life in them. According to Dr Philip Dixon,all eggs have life in them. Eating eggs is not good for the health and this has been stated by several doctors and scientists too.
Eating meat is harmful not only for our body, but also from a mental and spiritual standpoint. When we eat a vegetarian, sattvik diet, it gives rise to pure sattvik thoughts. Our thoughts are of paramount importance. When we think pure thoughts, our behaviour and tendencies will also be balanced and pure.”
