Goals of Veggie Fest

People are searching for ways to be proactive and take preventive measures to stay healthy. Doctors and researchers have been promoting a vegetarian diet and meditation as two ways to cut the risk of certain diseases and maintain optimum health. One of the goals of Veggie Fest Chicago 2019 in Lisle, Illinois, is to share the latest findings of scientific and medical research on how we can stay healthy.
By eating more vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, doctors claim we can cut our risk for many diseases. To stay healthy or speed recovery, they also promote meditation to reduce stress-related illnesses.
As a way to promote community awareness of the value of vegetarianism and meditation, this weekend, August 10-11, 2019, one of the largest vegetarian fairs in North America, called Veggie Fest, will provide tips and strategies to maintain health. Veggie Fest is designed to increase awareness of the benefits of a vegetarian diet. Tens of thousands who attended previous Veggie Fests show the changes in attitudes regarding diet and health. Years ago, to many, vegetarianism meant one could get only a salad and grilled cheese sandwich in a restaurant. Now, we find growing number of vegetarian options in restaurants and even traditional food supermarkets due to demand for healthier foods.
At Veggie Fest numerous talks by doctors, medical researchers, psychologists, and health care professionals will focus on the physical, mental, and emotional benefits of a vegetarian diet.
Vegetarian cooking demonstrations, informational booths on healthy living, and a food court offering international vegetarian dishes provide a wealth of resources to promote family wellness.
Talks and demonstrations also focus on the benefits of meditation towards improving the health of body, mind, and spirit. While a vegetarian diet helps us focus on the physical and mental wellness, meditation helps us focus on all three aspects—physical, mental, and spiritual health. A healthy lifestyle means a balance of developing all these three aspects of our lives.
I hope that all who attend Veggie Fest will gain more awareness of the value of vegetarianism and meditation for optimum health.

The Power of Love and Kindness
On May 30 people all over the world honor Sant Darshan Singh Ji Maharaj, the great spiritual Master and poet-saint who left the world thirty years ago in 1989. It has been thirty years since he left, but his life and example still shine brightly as a guiding star upon which we can base our own lives. Among his radiant qualities were his love and kindness.
Mother’s Day
On Mother’s Day let us honor God and our mother for bringing us into this world and giving us love and care. We should extend this gratitude not just on the second Sunday of May, but every day of our lives.
The Spiritual Aspect of Earth Day
Taking care of the earth means that we do not only think of ourselves, but we expand our mind, hearts, and souls to consider our planet and all forms of life that inhabit it. We can do so by opening our hearts in a spirit of humility, compassion, selflessness, and gratitude.
