A History of Vegetarianism and Veganism in the World Religions
A rarely discussed amazing history of vegetarianism and even veganism in the great world religions and philosophies:
Akhenaten the "Heretic" Egyptian Pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty, who ruled for 17 years;
Hebrew Bible, First Book of Moses: Genesis;
Yoga Shastra, a sutra or scripture of Jainism;
Bhagavad Gita of Krishna;
Srimad Bhagavatam;
The Laws of Manu, a kind of "Hindu Torah" or Book of Laws;
Pythagoras and the Pythagoreans;
Porphyry, a 3rd century AD Neo-Platonist philosopher;
The Vegetarian Prayer of Thanksgiving in the Epilogue of Asclepius of the Corpus Hermeticum, and the same prayer again, as it also turns up in the Nag Hammadi Library of Egypt, the Gnostic Gospels;
Early Church “Heresy Hunters” that used to require meat-eating on Sundays as a way to discover who the veg Gnostics were in their midst;
Philo of Alexandria's description of veg meals at a Jewish Therapeutae monastic community in Alexandria perhaps related to the Essenes;
The Bahai Faith: Baha’u’llah, ‘Abdu’l-Baha, and Shoghi Effendi -- prophecies of a vegan future of humanity;
Vegetarianism in Islam: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), Rabia of Basra, Bawa Muhaiyaddeen and the Sufis;
John the Baptist, who ate locust bean (carob) flour, not locusts -- BEANS NOT BUGS;
and blessed are the textual variants: the Mystery of the Missing Veg Saying of Jesus found in Luke 21: 34 of the Evangelion Da-Mepharreshe -- the Old Syriac-Aramaic manuscript of the New Testament Gospels but is no longer present in Greek manuscripts.
