Vegetarian question

#1 Unread post by Philip »

I’m wondering if the Hari Krishna’s have to be vegetarians or vegans or can i still eat non-vegetarian?

Hare Krishna Philip,

Thank you for inquiring. Eating non-vegetarian food is generally discouraged because it’s believed to create negative karma and disrupt spiritual progress. However, if you’re just exploring the faith, no one will force you to be vegetarian immediately—it’s more about making a personal commitment over time. Are you considering joining, or just curious about their practices?
