Video Information: 06.08.2025, NIT Goa Title: Non-Violence or Self-Deception? || Acharya Prashant, NIT Goa (2025) ➖➖➖➖➖➖ Description: In this video, Acharya Ji clarifies what true non-violence and compassion mean. Violence, he says, is when we can avoid hurting a conscious being but still choose to hurt it. Using examples of mosquitoes, bacteria, lions, and dairy animals, he explains the difference between unavoidable killing (as in nature or self-defence) and the completely avoidable cruelty of the dairy industry. Humans are no longer “in the jungle”; we have options. Therefore, we must extend compassion as far as possible—using nets, coils, and alternatives—and never inflict massive, unnecessary suffering on higher, sensitive beings like cows and buffaloes just for taste and habit.
