All the great vegetarians, such as Pythagoras, Plato, Leo Tolstoy, Mahatma Gandhi, Albert Einstein, George Bernard Shaw, Nikola Tesla, Shopenhauer, Thoreau, Leonardo Da Vinci, Voltaire, Benjamin Franklin etc. knew there could be no spiritual advancement while attaining ones nourishment from cruelty and the exploiration of others.
Comment by Ingrid Hawel
Dear Mr Wollen
First of all I would like to give my respectful and heartfelt gratitude to you, for all that you are fighting for, and for your boldness to speak the truth in such a courageous manner in this famous speech of yours !
I am a devoted Vegetarian since thirty eight years, and me and my wife have been setting up and managed two Vegetarian Restaurants the last thirty years. Govindas Restaurant in Stockholm had around twenty guests 1988. In three years it became the most popular and visited Vegetarian Restaurant in Stockholm, serving between 250 – 300 Lunch Plates daily. Earning lots of publicity in news papers and among many famous people, it got one star in The Michelin Book for valuing restaurants.
There where different reasons for this success, but we are convinced that the most important aspect was the food itself, the style, how it was cooked and served.
Since two weeks I have opened a web site here on f.b. with the name “Govindas Vegetarian Cook Book for Large Quantities”. It presents all the dishes in the form of exact recipes of the food we developed and served these years.
The reason I write to you is that I want to inform you about this book, and simultaneously give you the opportunity to use this cook book in any way you will find useful for the advancement of your mission.
As far as I understand, there exist very little written material for cooking in bigger quantities. Perhaps this book could be a practical tool for you to present to various people you meet on your way of fulfilling your goals.
Thank you very much in advance for your concern,
Sincere and Hearty Greetings from Sunanda das,
Restaurant Manager in Govindas Restaurant in Radhadesh, Belgium
