The international meat industry generates roughly 18% of the world's greenhouse-gas emissions—even more than transportation—according to a report last year from the U.N.'s Food and Agriculture Organization ... Global meat production is expected to double between 2001 and 2050. Given the amount of energy consumed raising, shipping and selling livestock, a 16-oz.T-bone is like a Hummer on a plate ... If you switch to vegetarianism, you can shrink your carbon footprint by up to 1.5 tons of carbon dioxide a year, according to research by the University of Chicago. Trading a standard car for a hybrid cuts only about one ton—and isn't as tasty.

Jaya Radhe

It is said that Lord Krishna enchants all the worlds, but He himself is enchanted and controlled by Radha's love. For Krishna cannot be understood through the Vedas, only through bhakti, pure loving devotion.

Srimati Radha-rani is the pleasure potency of the Lord and the embodiment of all the spiritual qualities that Sri Krishna is attracted to. Therefore, She is the perfect devotee, and in pleasing Her, we can easily please Sri Krishna.

Radha is therefore the Supreme Goddess. In fact She is so important in Krishna Consciousness, that She is always worshiped together with the Lord. The word 'Hare' in Hare Krishna refers to Her.

Jaya Radhe Shyam!
All Glories to Srimati Radharani!

Ascended Master Saint Germain

"Love and fear cannot dance in the same space." - St. Germain

Beloved Ascended Master Saint Germain, whose name means 'Holy Brother', is a major well-wisher of Western civilization. He has worked tirelessly for centuries cultivating the teachings on how to wisely use our Freedom to create our own reality on this plane, and has worked to promote democracy and the progressive emancipation of humans from superstition and enslavement.

He's known in the higher planes as the God of Freedom, and is the Avatar of the Aquarian Age, the sponsor of the I AM Activity and, most importantly, the bringer of the sacred science of the use of the Violet Flame, which is his single most important and powerful gift to humanity, by which we can assist him in his work of liberating all life everywhere. It is imperative for all lightworkers in our age to learn the sacred science of the use of the Violet Flame.

The frequency in which we can attune to him is the refreshing, liberating, auspicious violet light which transmutes all negative expression of energy.

He also oscillates in the frequency of the sweet aroma of lavender, which has many medicinal properties and has been documented to have calming effects on the nervous system.

The world spends 12 times more on military expenditures than on aid to developing countries.
