The Sacrifices of a Jain Diet

Heart and Soul

Available for over a year

The philosophy of Ahimsa 鈥� a concept of non-violence 鈥� is inspired by the premise that all living things have spiritual energy. To harm another being is to harm oneself, and this concept extends to animals and even vegetables. A Jain nun tells Hardeep Singh Kohli about the sacrifices she makes to follow a Jain diet.
