Description

The principle of ahimsa, or non-violence, is a foundational ethical guideline in Hinduism, advocating for compassion and non-harm towards all living beings. This moral imperative significantly influences the dietary choices of many Hindus, encouraging vegetarianism or veganism as expressions of non-violence. Ahimsa's roots in Hindu philosophy are deep, with ancient texts like the Vedas, Upanishads, and the Bhagavad Gita underscoring the importance of non-violence as a virtue that supports spiritual growth and the pursuit of liberation (moksha).
