Hinduism Dictionary on Vegetarian
vegetarian: Shakahara. Of a diet which excludes meat, fish, fowl and eggs. Vegetarianism is a principle of health and environmental ethics that has been a keystone of Indian life for thousands of years. Vegetarian foods include grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes and dairy products. Natural, fresh foods, locally grown, without insecticides or chemical fertilizers, are preferred. The following foods are minimized: frozen and canned foods, highly processed foods, such as white rice, white sugar and white flour; and "junk" foods and beverages (those with abundant chemical additives, such as artificial sweeteners, colorings, flavorings and preservatives). A person following a vegetarian diet is called a shakahari. See: guna, mansahari, yama-niyama.

| | |  Yama-niyama Dictionary: Ethics is a Means to YogaAll aspirants commit mistakes now in
jumping to Samadhi and Dhyana all at once as soon as they leave their houses
without caring a bit for ethical perfection. The mind remains in the same
condition although they have practiced meditation for fifteen years. They have
the same jealousy, hatred, idea of superiority, pride, egoism, etc. Meditation
and Samadhi come by themselves when one has the ethical perfection.
From "Easy Steps to
Yoga" by Sri Swami Sivananda.

| | |  Yama-niyama Dictionary: The Four Paths of Hindu YogaThe four main
spiritual paths for God-realisation are Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Raja Yoga and
Jnana Yoga. Karma Yoga is suitable for a man of active temperament, Bhakti Yoga
for a man of devotional temperament, Raja Yoga for a man of mystic temperament,
and Jnana Yoga for a man of rational and philosophical temperament, or a man of
enquiry.
Mantra Yoga,
Laya Yoga or Kundalini Yoga, Lambika Yoga and Hatha Yoga, are other Yogas. Yoga,
really, means union
with God. The practice
of Yoga leads to communion with the Lord. Whatever may be the starting point,
the end reached is the same.
