You don't have to be vegetarian to be spiritual. However, when you go deeper into Spirituality, you become vegetarian naturally!
Spirituality bring you back to your nature. The human body is designed for vegetarian food.

Interacted with the faculty and thousands of students from 687 AICTE-affiliated colleges and 47 Institutions of National Importance (IITs, NITs, IIITs) at their induction.

Last year, many people were upset with me when I said: "Kolkata did not die, it was deliberately murdered". I hope they now understand what I was trying to say. Recent events are just the culmination of decades of socio-cultural disintegration that would have been obvious to anyone taking an honest look.
I sometimes say things that are harsh and unpopular. I care deeply about these issues, and it neither gives me joy to say them nor any satisfaction to be proved right. However, all progress is based on the willingness of a society to do an honest introspection. Hope that the process has begun.
We can call ourselves truly independent when we have a say over our obsessions and compulsions, our cravings and aversions, and when we are able to evolve from an ego-centric mindset to one that is all-embracing.

Vishnu Purana says
उत्तरं यत् समुद्रस्य हिमाद्रेश्चैव दक्षिणम् |
वर्षं तद् भारतं नाम भारती यत्र संततिः ||
The land that lies north of ocean and south of snowy mountains is called Bharatam; there dwell the descendants of Bharata.
Bharatam has always been a single entity since time immemorial. Proud to be born in this great land and Hearty #IndependenceDay wishes to all.
Arunachal Pradesh is a land where patriotism is deeply rooted in the heart of every citizen. This clearly reflects in the state's vibrant cultural heritage. Glad to see such enthusiasm towards #HarGharTiranga.
