Four year old girl: “Animals don’t deserve to die.”
While distributing books at the Observatory in Los Angeles, I met a really amazing family. The father was very interested in the japa beads I had on display. He told me that he just finished a meditation workshop and was looking for a string of beads. I gave him one and showed him the book Chant and Be Happy. He became really happy. He told me that he's had wonderful experiences with the Krishnas.
His four-year-old daughter had decided on her own to become a vegetarian.
I asked her why, and she said, "Animals don't deserve to die".
I gave her The Higher Taste.
The father also told me that his seven-year-old daughter loves the annual Rathayatra festival we do on Venice Beach. In fact, instead of going to a mall, the two daughters do all their clothes shopping for school at the Govinda's boutique! They really resonate with the culture, he said.
I was very happy to come across such a special family. I wish them all success in their spiritual endeavors.
Your servant,
Jaya Chaitanya Dasa
