Jain Ahimsa

“Ahimsa is the highest dharma. Ahimsa is the best austerity (tapas). Ahimsa is the greatest gift. Ahimsa is the highest self control. Ahimsa is the highest sacrifice. Ahimsa is the highest power. Ahimsa is the highest truth. Ahimsa is the highest teaching.” — Mahabharata XIII:116:37-41

“Ideally, the Bhakta drinks only milk from cows who are loved for life, in a similar way that Krishna himself accepted milk from cows whom he adored… abstaining from commercial dairy is a sacrifice we make to honor true love.”

– Garuda Das Kaviraj, PhD (Harvard), Professor at Christopher Newport University

“It is an appalling irony that animal rights advocates and ethical vegans can’t eat most temple Prasad because cows suffered and died for the dairy.”

– Kishore Shyama Das, PhD, Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley
