Acharya Prashant shares his personal journey toward veganism, noting that he was born into a vegetarian family and possessed a natural affection for all living beings from a young age. He recalls a significant turning point during his second year at IIT when he read a story about the life of a calf, which detailed the animal's suffering, denial of milk, exploitation, and eventual slaughter. This narrative prompted him to stop consuming milk, although he continued to use other dairy products for another fifteen years until a series of personal experiences led him to adopt a fully vegan lifestyle.
