Acharya Prashant shares his personal journey toward veganism, noting that he was raised in a vegetarian family and felt a natural affection for all living beings from a young age. He recounts a significant turning point during his second year at IIT when he read a story about the life and suffering of a calf, which led him to stop drinking milk. However, he continued consuming milk products for another fifteen years until a series of emotional events solidified his transition to full veganism. The loss of his pet rabbit, Nandu, combined with watching a scene in the film 'The Ship of Theseus' that depicted experiments on rabbits, prompted his final decision to eliminate all animal-related products from his life. He describes this transition as effortless once the realization was complete. Additionally, he shares a touching anecdote about rescuing a chicken that had escaped a butcher's knife, bringing it home to live with him for many years. He emphasizes that these experiences shaped his commitment to living a life that does not involve the exploitation of animals.
