Quotes

 * No one who eats the flesh of animals can progress spiritually beyond the average.
 * Interview by Rynn Berry; quoted in "Famous Vegetarians and their Favorite Recipes", HinduismToday.com (January 1995).


 * At first, I wasn’t too sure about becoming a vegetarian. … In the beginning it was for athletic reasons, but later I became more concerned about life itself. I won’t go too deeply into it, but there is a religious part and meditative part of vegetarianism for me. … As far as I know, I was the only vegetarian wrestler around. … Well, when I got away from animal foods, I became closer to God. That’s what happened to me. I was more conscious of the good things in life. I was more conscious of other people. And I was conscious of love.
