Question - Gurudev, what is your opinion on using leather products? Is it okay to use them in today’s world? Also, for a sadhak, does using them influence one’s spiritual progress? Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar - I would prefer that people avoid leather. Do you know just for leather, so many animals are slaughtered? All this should be done away with. It is said, ‘Ahimsa paramo-dharma’, (Non-violence in all action is the supreme duty or Dharma). Everyone should walk the path of non-violence and be a vegetarian. This is very necessary. Only then will you be able to meditate well. Follow the Gurudev Sri Sri Quotes & QnA channel on WhatsApp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vab7t0jFMqrTnywbCS1x
