Liquid Religion The Wonder Of Milk: Yoga & Non-violence

Liquid Religion introduces the art and science of conscious eating, offering a 5,000-year-old Vedic approach to diet that respects modern nutritional science. Yoga masters speak of the three modes of material nature, goodness, passion, and ignorance, and the foods that define each. Those in the modes of passion and ignorance dull themselves with lifeless, processed fare which overwhelms the senses, like meat, fish, eggs, strong spices, and alcohol. Those who seek entry into the mode of goodness, however, understand the value of consuming organic vegetables, fresh fruits, whole grains, nuts, and pure, whole, non-violent, strictly non-factory farming milk.In Vedic society, the cow is revered as a symbol of abundance, selfless giving, and sacred motherhood. She is honored not only for her gentle nature but also for her vital role in sustaining life through her milk and dung. The cow represents the Earth itself—patient, nurturing, and endlessly generous—making her a living embodiment of dharma. Caring for the cow is seen as an act of spiritual merit, connecting humans to the divine and encouraging a life of gratitude, humility, and harmony with nature.Milk, the cow’s precious gift, is celebrated in the Vedas as a wonder of life, rich in purity and sacredness. It nourishes the body, soothes the mind, and forms the base for offerings like ghee used in fire sacrifices. Through milk, the cow provides sustenance that supports both physical health and spiritual practice, serving sages, children, and families alike. Its versatility and sanctity have made it a cornerstone of Vedic culture, linking everyday nourishment to the deeper rhythms of cosmic balance.Vrnda Devi, was a successful vegetarian restaurateur and host of television cooking shows "Vrnda's Kitchen."
