Vegan Clothing Store



Vegan Clothing sounds a bit of stretch to some, while actually this was the most natural one for me. Of course wool, silk, leather products etc. are completely non vegan and out of a Vegan’s life for good. But then I wondered if something could just purely be Vegan clothing. A quick search would find you many alternatives in natural fibres such as jute, cotton and in all man-made synthetic fibres such as rayon, nylon, polyester, microfiber etc. However, for a person like myself who likes more natural material kept searching for more. Especially for my Yoga Pants and sports wear, I wanted a better alternative. Cotton yoga pants have a good range available but to my mind it seemed cruel to the ecosystem.

To make a normal cotton yoga pant would require about half a kilo of cotton which would require gallons of water and several hectares of irrigated land. Organic cotton is much better as a source and more efficient choice for yoga pants for those looking for Vegan Clothing.

Also, came across a wide range of bamboo clothing, organic cotton, banana fabric, soya protein fabric and that was just amazing to come across. Pledging to Vegan is a compassionate way of life where one is more mindful and conscientious towards environment, fellow humans animals and life at large. The first look at these fabrics made so much sense as these required much less resources and were made out of recycling the waste from the plant. For example a bamboo tree does not require too much of effort to grow and not too much of land as well. Clothing made out of bamboo fibre has anti bacterial properties and refreshes itself pretty fast. Not to forget it is a great solution for someone looking for variety and range in Vegan Clothing.

Therefore, if you look for it, you’ll find Vegan Clothing pretty easy and at reasonable prices. I found so many more choices in Vegan clothing as I was looking for alternatives for natural fiber yoga pants.

Vegan Food Store


We as Indians have always been proud of our culture, our legacy, our values and the vibrant colors that our land offers. Three or four decades ago, we were also proud of our primary occupation being Agriculture. Well, that’s what was the most suited to a large country with the climate & population that we were blessed with. Most of the population believed and followed the Sattvic way of life. Our country then I would love to believe was more compassionate and more Vegan. Sattvic was a diet known to all and much more prevalent.

A sattvic diet, also referred to as a yoga diet or sentient diet, is a diet based on foods that—according to Ayurveda and Yoga, are strong in the sattva guna, and lead to clarity and upeksa (equanimity) of mind while also being beneficial to the body. Any food that causes harm to self or another organism is called tamasic and hence excluded from the Sattvic way.

Vegan food is the most closely that one can relate with a Sattvic diet. Here are the five main reasons why:

  • Basic Ground: Those who make Vegan food their choice do so in order to not harm any life for their own needs. Sattvic food emphasized on no harm to the larger life. A Vegan store would have products that are lowest on negative energy or the tamasic vibes, and hence more Sattvic

  • Science: All mammals have different lifespan and that also indicates the growth of organs and the overall evolution will be different. The hormones & the fat composition is most definitely different amongst all. Consuming animal fat whether in their meat or in milk is not good for the body. Human body is not designed to digest the hormones meant for the growth of an animal. Additionally, there is enough evidence and research about the carcinogenic properties of casein, the main protein found in milk. Vegan food therefore ensures compliance with the Sattvic way of no harm to our own body and that of other life.

  • Shopping: Vegan stores are not found in India, however if one excludes honey, eggs, dairy products (such as ghee, milk, paneer, cheese, butter, curd etc.) and some other non-Indian foods (such as gelatin, custard etc.) out of any normal pansari or kirana shop in any locality can easily be classified as pretty much a Vegan Store. It is this simple for India to turn Vegan.

  • Factory farming: Many wonder that dairy products have been integral part of Indian culture and our food, how does excluding that still stay Indian? Even Sattvic diet emphasized on having the milk from a happy cow. The greed in times today has left the natural happiness way behind and even the sacred cows are being used as machines to produce more. The love that Krishna showered on his herd and the belief the cattle had in his affection is not left the non-Vegan food any way Sattvic. Milk production is in fact harming the ecosystem and the cattle.

  • Vriti: You are what you eat. Every life has emotions and to have a produce of a terrified or pained animal will have the traces of those emotions in the food when consumed. The vriti formed from the energy from such food is nowhere going to be positive.

The idea to be on a Vegan food journey or to make sure you shop more often at a Vegan store is to get closer to our own roots and go back to basics. Slowly choosing differently and eventually going back to the more peaceful Sattvic life.
