Podcast: Diet and Consciousness: The Importance of a Pure Diet for the Yogi

In today’s podcast, Abbot George Burke talks about how diet affects consciousness, and the importance of a pure diet for the yogi.

Abbot George shares these stories:

• The unusual experiment in diet that Abbot George conducted before teaching a yoga seminar.


• The positive effect that taking up a vegetarian diet had for exam students.


• The negative effect that occurred from using just a small amount of liqueur for stomach troubles.


• How a vegetarian diet is not primarily Ahimsa (harmlessness) for the yogi, but Shaucha (purification).


• Why Abbot George became an avid food label reader.


• What happened to Abbot George’s yogi friends who refused to be strict with their diets.
