Mumbai is set to host the second Ahimsa festival that seeks to spread a cruelty free lifestyle. And participating it the 18 day festival are Dr Will Tuttle, author of the ‘World Peace Diet’ and Kuntal Joisher, India’s very own vegan mountaineer who climbed Mount Everest, among many others.
From interacting with doctors and health consultants on reversing disease by choosing whole foods and plant based diets to cooking without the use of animal ingredients, the festival has about 100 odd events lined up for anyone to participate in, said a note from the organisers Ahimsa Parmo Dharma Group. “If food is our first medicine and the kitchen is our first pharmacy,” the note said, introducing demos on the Ahimsa way of cooking.
The event will also screen ‘What The Health’, ‘Okja’, ‘Cowspiracy’ and ‘Forks over Knives’, among other films. The aim is to spread the word on compassionate living that “involves not just caring for our own health but also that of our fellow animal beings and to go beyond that to care for our planet as well”, the note said. The event is on from October 26th to November 12th.
