"Compassion is the growing aspiration of your Life!"

These beautiful words were told by Sadhu T.L.Vaswani to Dada J.P.Vaswani on his birthday.

Compassion is the heart of humanity, this is the emotion that differentiates a human from an animal. Animals can fear you or be loyal to you, work for you etc. but Compassion?? No…! they are devoid of this feeling. Combine compassion with the super intellect and you have a perfect human being. But what is the human being doing?? Killing animals and birds to satisfy his taste buds and palate, risking good health. A number of doctors have said in recent years that as "smoking is injurious to health" so is meat eating.

Besides health reasons, Dada J.P.Vaswani advocates vegetarianism because it is a path of compassion, kindness and of sympathy.

He often says that if man can demonstrate compassion towards the lowliest of creatures, he will begin to develop the same qualities in relationship to his fellow man. For peace and non-violence to exist in the world, they must begin on the micro-level.

Revered Dada J.P.Vaswani quoted in one of his talks…….

"Goethe (A Greek Philosopher) said, we need to grow in Reverence, -
Reverence for what is above us
Reverence for what is around us
Reverence for what is beneath us,
Reverence for All Life, also for birds and animals.
Hearts have to be awakened and grow in Reverence and Compassion for All Life.!! "

In order to create awareness, of the cruelty and suffering inflicted on animals, 25th November, our beloved founder Sadhu T.L.Vaswani's birthday, has been inscribed in contemporary history as A Meatless Day and Animal Rights' Day. In India Sadhu Vaswani Mission is making a massive effort to promote the concept of Reverence for All Life…especially in urging people to refrain from food of all violence on this special day.

Governments of Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka order the closure of all slaughter houses in these states on 25th of November.

Our Centre in Singapore is participating in this campaign and we urge you all to please join us. Anyone can do so by pledging to abstain from meat eating on the 25th by visiting our web sites at WWW.SADHUVASWANI.ORG. or http://www.sakmeatlessday.com where forms are available.
