The Sanathana Sai Sanjeevinis is the complex healing system where the prayers connected with Sanjeevini Healing Cards, vegetarian diet, lifestyle and Ayurvedic wisdom. Swami has explained and completed this system, especially the part, what concern to diet, sathwic food and lifestyle.

Sai Sanjeevinis has paid a significant attention to vegetarian diet. Without the vegetarian diet and lifestyle this system of treatment is not productive. Some advices and explanations concerning vegetarian diet has submitted.

By Sai Sanjeevinis wrong diet and lifestyle are often the cause of many ailments.

Humans’ food habits are guided by sense of taste and instinct. Habits humans have received in childhood also play an essential role.
The large role has consumer-society advertisements directly from media or by different ‘studies’ about good for health products full of different artificial additions. Often even the medical profession serves commercial interests.
There is a lack of awareness about the harmful effects of such foods – but what is most disturbing and unfortunate is that even those who are aware continue to serve these indigestible foods.

Humans taste as all other senses are provided by God to be used for receiving balanced food what is easily ingested and gifted health and harmony with nature. However, today’s general tendency is that senses are out of control and all balance has been lost. Humans are as slaves to their five senses and tongue has lost the discrimination – that instinct – to eat only what is good food for health and what may firmly dedicate to God. There are no doctors among wild animals. The instinct tells them what to eat and how to cure the diseases. Human beings have the same instinct, but it has hidden under the layer of delusive senses.
When human beings are not in harmony with nature, when they are violating God’s bounty at every step, when the mother Earth, the animals, the underprivileged, are all crying out at the abuse heaped on them by humans’ for their own selfish ends. In such conditions instincts slowly die.

“Vegetarian food helps to human beings to return to harmony with nature and with themselves.
“Sathwic (pure, health promoting) diet does not mean simply the food we take through our mouth but also means the pure air we breathe through our nose, the pure vision we see through our eyes, the pure sounds we hear through our ears and the pure objects we touch through our feet and hands. All that we take in through the doors of our five sense organs may be described as diet. Listening to bad sounds, looking at bad sights, touching bad things do not constitute sathwic diet.”

The consequent parts are about strange for human body properties of non-vegetarian food by Sanatana Sai Sanjeevinis and own insights. This theme has properly studied in our teacher’s environmental scholarship, as vegetarian food is a base for spiritual enlightenment and ecological consciousness. Several points of view of modern science what reached nearly to the same standpoints.

Seven parts of mails are the explanations why vegetarian food is healthy mainly by Sanatana Sai Sanjeevinis, but not only. (This site is very large and includes the healing methods. The compilation from this site by additional notes seems to be more clear explanation for the benefit of vegetarian food). The other parts include Swami’s quotations and recommendations about the quality the food and personal experiences how in conditions of long cold winters to prefer vegetarian food. The last part would be about standpoints of modern science concern to vegetarian and non-vegetarian food.

(By the way, from history is known that many worldwide famous persons were vegetarian. In italy Leonardo da Vinci (1452 – 1519) would often buy caged animals at the market just to set them free. George Bernard Shaw (1856 – 1950) turned vegetarian at age 25. About them in the last part).

Non-vegetarian foods including meat, fish, eggs putrefy within a few hours and so the putrefaction takes place within human body, what carrying around decaying corpses and toxins from them.

Eggs too rot as fast as meat and fish. Eggs provide the largest quantity of cholesterol. Besides, the eggs are full of chemicals. The hens are kept in the most shocking conditions – never allowed to roam free in the sun, always sitting in one position to produce “assembly line” eggs. They are fed hormones (for better produce) and artificial yellow colour (which is one of the worst offenders in children’s behavioral disorders) to make the eggs look more appetising.

(Those eggs are “nuggets of concentrated nutrition” is a myth. One egg contains almost zero iron, 1200 IU of Vitamin A, a large quantity of Vitamin D and is loaded with Cholesterol. Compare that to 6000 IU of Vitamin A in a small bunch of drumstick leaves and 10,000 IU in an even smaller bunch of coriander leaves. Both these are also very rich sources of iron as are all green leafy vegetables. Vitamin D is available from the sun – it is formed directly on the skin by the action of the sun).

Countries where meat and other non-vegetarian food is consumed in large quantities have the highest rates of colon cancer. The animals are fed all sorts of hormones and drugs to fatten them up – these are also recycled to humans and result in severe hormonal disturbances in men and women. Antibiotics are a routine part of their diet. Ingesting these will make us immune to their action should we ever need to use them.

Human’s stomach has to produce a lot more acid to digest non-vegetarian foods. They themselves contain of uric acid. It is one of the causes of suffering from ulcers, arthritis, psoriasis and other skin problems, etc.

The adrenal glands or stress glands become very active in the animal during captivity and during the butchering process. The adrenal so produced is recycled to humans thus causing unnecessary panic, stress and fears.
