1st October EVERY Year

World vegetarian day has been observed since 1977 bringing together vegetarians from all over the world for a common cause. It brings awareness to the ethical, environmental, health and humanitarian benefits of a vegetarian lifestyle. We're observing growing trends, especially since Foot and Mouth and Mad Cow diseases, but about one million people a year become vegetarians in the US alone, and millions in Europe, Australasia too. Everything that we are doing is making a difference, and every little bit helps.

Where you find any group trying to promote this noble cause please give your support. Contact your local temple or community and find out how you can get involved this year.

Some ideas: stalls at stations, flyers on the street, radio programs, special programs at schools-colleges Uni-techs or Universities, those who attend an online university should put up the event on their webpages as well, Vegetarian Clubs/Socieities, invite family and friends to special dinners, programs at our temples, Massive prasadam (food) distribution everywhere possible, Harinam sankirtan (congregational chanting in the streets, with some prasadam distribution), (Cook) Book distribution (Kurma's cookbooks, Adiraj's cook books, Yamuna Devi's cookbooks, Higher Taste cook book etc), Food For Life food distribution outlets, Fact Sheet distribution, Flyers ( 1  - 2 ), Advertisements in local and national newspapers, Holmes show, Good Morning, Breakfast show TVOne, TV talk-back(s), Pacific  Radio, Access Community Radio into the various communities it targets all over the country (all over the world).......do you have any other avenues we can target, have a good think, brainstorm with some friends - send me what you come up with, let me know what your doing so we can enthuse others and do likewise 

.....or just tell a friend, invite someone over for a nice vegetarian meal offered to Krishna with love and devotion.
