Vedic Lifestyle
Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami , 1999-05-23
Today Gurudeva talks about the four sacrifices of Vedic life, to the Gods, to the ancestors, to the animals and to the community. He says many people are saying they want to "live the Vedic life," but how many are really willing to do it? Sacrifice means giving up, giving up in devotion to the Gods, honoring the ancestors, honoring the animals, not "eating every one of them," and be a producer and contributor to the community instead of a taker.
