Guruji, there are so many people eating non-vegetarian food. Are they not collecting bad Karma and isn't it a sinful act?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Non-vegetarian food is not suitable for spiritual upliftment. You may have seen in the world, wherever people have started their spiritual journey, they have automatically stopped non-vegetarian food.
Today millions of people in America, Russia, Poland and all over the globe have turned vegetarians.
Around 30 years ago when I used to go to other countries there were hardly any vegetarians. However, there are a lot of vegetarians everywhere.
Our country has 5600 varieties of vegetarian dishes. We have to popularize it.
