Acharya Prashant explains that violence towards animals originates from the innate animalistic nature within human beings, which is driven by a desire to consume. He argues that authentic veganism is rooted in the core spiritual principle of ahimsa, or non-violence. He contends that without a deep spiritual understanding, any action taken is essentially a form of violence. He critiques the vegan community for often viewing religion as an obstacle, pointing out that it is actually spirituality—specifically Vedanta—that provides the foundation for compassion and non-violence. He notes that India's historical culture of vegetarianism was maintained by religious values, and the recent rise in meat consumption is a direct result of a loss of spirituality. Addressing the environmental impact, Acharya Prashant describes animal agriculture as a 'third world war' due to its catastrophic destruction of forests, species extinction, and contribution to climate change through methane emissions. He emphasizes that the problem of global hunger and water scarcity is exacerbated by the inefficient practice of feeding grain to livestock for meat production. He suggests that the vegan movement must transition from a focus on liberal rights to a focus on spiritual liberation. This liberation involves overcoming the internal human ignorance and the lust to consume, which he identifies as the common core of all global problems. Acharya Prashant further discusses the need for internal change over systemic change, asserting that the profit-driven economy is a creation of the unrefined human mind. He argues that education systems will only change when the individuals running them undergo a personal transformation. He also touches upon health, questioning the validity of tightened medical ranges for vitamins and minerals, suggesting they may be driven by commercial interests. Finally, he advocates for the establishment of an 'Ahinsa University' that teaches non-violence in all relationships—not just with animals, but also with fellow humans, nature, and oneself.
