Let me answer the question that I have been asked at every dining table since a year: Why Vegan? To me, it’s very simple, the values I am trying to live by is freedom and compassion the only question that lead me to veganism was why to limit these values to only humans and why not all earthlings.
Being vegan definitely has physical health benefits, I don’t feel tired and exhausted like I use to feel before.. I am more active and energetic throughout the day, but a more interesting change that I observed within me was an increased consciousness about my choices since, with respect to my environment. I am more mindful of my own actions and its impact on others..
I believe veganism made me more human!
Kind Regards,

It was awesome. Just changed my life completely. After attending the workshop got to know the details that whatever I and my family were eating and drinking was so painful and horrifying for all living things specially for dumb animals who couldn’t speak or fight. I am trying my level best to wake people more and more to be vegan. To get my best food for the cost of others is not my cup of tea. And now me and my family r proud to say WE ARE VEGAN.

I grew up believing good always trumps evil and when I attended the Earthlings workshop, I was convinced of that as it was a live example. Mr. Vignesh, has taken upon himself, to bring awareness to the public about the world we live in today and what role we play in it and how our choices affects the environment and climate. What I learnt was, our beliefs regarding animal products like milk, curd, meat etc are influenced by marketing and years of brain washing. The cruelties that cows suffer so we can consume milk and how we humans are the cause of destruction of mother earth An eye opener must attend session with some great vegan food.

When I went to the workshop I had no idea about the cruelty tag attached to the dairy and poultry industry, what was saddening to know that I am big part of this industry where I take the milk of the new born calf and give it to my children leaving the young calf to a tortureous death same goes with the eggs and its no longer healthy to eat “Roj kao ande”. more the need to supply for the demand more the torture for these hapless creatures of this universe…The Australian bush fire which was predicted long back , one of the reason was animal agriculture, with the advent of 2020 we will see the world sit up and take more precautionary measure to curb animal agriculture and all related cruelty attached to the animal kingdom…what Vignesh , Vanessa and Yvonne are doing week after week to educate the lay people the devastating effects of our life style where we lay so much importance on the dairy and egg for our health a glorious myth…these same nourishment can be had without harming these speechless and harmless creatures of our environment, their hard work.is gaining momentum slowly but surely for this generation and a more educated and aware generation coming forth..Thank You.

“We are Earthlings” workshop happened to me when I was already battling with lactose intolerance. Gifted with a sweet tooth, it was proving almost impossible to let go of that piece of barfi. But the one day workshop I attended not only made my resolve firmer, but it also gave me a 360 degree perspective about why I should be a vegan. I realized the extent to which I have been harming my body, the environment and Mother Earth. I am now a happy vegan and am already seeing the positive effects of it on me. Vignesh is extremely passionate about Veganism and yet he presents you with hard facts, not opinions. He and his team have taken huge efforts to create this workshop and it is very evident. All my best wishes to them and I think each one must attend it , to know the facts and then decide for self.

YV Care initiative is very nice and compassionate

The best part is it is done with selfless motive

The views are not forced upon anyone in the workshop … They are only educated about the cause and final decision or conclusion rests with the participants to choose their path. It shows lots of love care and respect to both animals and human race ..

Thank you

I am a Athlete (cricketer). After attending workshop I went on a Plant based Diet, and within 2 months it has change me as now I’m more fit and stronger than before.. I recover quickly and have more stamina than earlier.

The workshop has also changed my view towards Animals and Environment.. As I learnt How animals are Mistreated, Abused and how because of animal agriculture we are facing climate change and it can only be solved me going vegan.

I had come to Mumbai from Dubai on my yearly leave and got a chance to attend the YV Care workshop conducted by Vignesh. It was not only an eye opener but also made me sensitive towards the cruelty, pain, torture and terrible suffering these animals have to undergo just to please the taste buds of the insensitive and ignorant human species. Animal agriculture and Dairy industry is not only a living hell for the species that they breed but also responsible for the catastrophic climatic changes our planet has to suffer.

Previously my both meals in Dubai always consisted of Non Veg menu but now its all three times Vegetarian food. After attending the workshop it was not hard to switch from a non vegetarian diet to fully vegetarian.

Vignesh and his team are doing a commendable job in spreading compassion and love between humans and other species and also slowing down the destruction of the planet.

नमस्कार मी राज शिंदे 22 डिसेंबर 2019 la mi “YV Care” che session attend केले त्यांची माहिती सांगण्याची सोपी पद्धत खूप आवडली आणि सर्वात महत्त्वाचे म्हणजे शेवटला त्याचे closings स्टेटमेंट त्यांनी फक्त सांगायचे काम केले आहे कोणालाही जबरदस्ती नाही हे खूप आवडले.

Session बदल खूप मेहनत केली आहे जास्तीत जास्त योग्य माहिती देण्याचा Video, माहिती चर्चा खूपच मस्त, jarahi boring नाही vatale.

Self impact मला स्वतःला काही विचार पटले म्हणुन मी त्या दिवसा पासुन दूध पिण्याचे सोडून दिले अणि माझ्या 10 वर्षाच्या मुलीने सुद्धा त्या दिवसा नंतर दूध नाही घेतले.

Meat or non veg आम्ही जास्त खात ch नव्हतो त्या मुले ते आरामात बंद करता आले पण अंडी अजून थोडे अवघड जातय सोडायला, प्रमाण कमी झाले आहे का –
Session मध्ये पाहिलाय की कश्या पद्धतीने माझ्या साठी अणि माझ्या कुटुंब साठी प्राण्यांना त्रास दिला जातोय ते मलाच कमी केले पाहिजे म्हणुन मी “YV CARE” ग्रुप la support करतो
Dhanyavaad

The session which I attended was a eye opener. I am a animal lover person, and i strongly believe that we should be kind to animals. After watching the cruelty on cows and after watching videos on poultry farms, I have given up on eggs, chicken n meat. Only hard to give up on milk tea, am trying to use alternative products like almond milk n soya milk.

As mentioned in the session that I dreamt someone questioning me why are animals killed, I feel satisfied that I have taken a step forward in the mission of saving animals for our future generations and stopping cruelty against them.

The work shop was an eye opener for me as i got to know how I was indirectly effecting the animal survival, my planet and my health too because of my Animal Product consumption. I got to know how they are all interlinked. how milk and milk products are made by exploiting, torturing and abusing animals in scary and painful ways. The exposure to the animal abusing links showed by them exposed the truth behind the huge profit making animal farming industry. How man due to his greed for money was using dumb, innocent and friendly animals as objects without Compassion, Love and Empathy.

I found myself crying watching them getting slaughtered, mercilessly in front of my eyes. Animals were dragged, cut, beaten, kicked, punched – big, small and babies too.

I found out how my eating meat was in a way helping their industry grow and get the animal s killed…. I stopped eating chicken,eggs, fish and sea food the very next day of my work shop.

I am grateful to the Facilitator “Vignesh Manjeshwar” and his wonderful workshop as it stopped me from continuing this Henious crime.
Veganism is a lifestyle which all the Humanity must adapt…..

The Earthlings workshop was an eye-opener in more ways than one.

It not only exposes (through graphic videos) the ugly side of animal agriculture which the business lobby works proactively to keep under wraps but also the adverse effects that consuming animal based foods ( milk / eggs / meat / fish ) have on our health. The health benefits of eating a plant-based diet were also well researched and adequately substantiated. The scariest part was when we were presented with the data that shows the undeniable link between animal agriculture and Climate Emergency. It was easy to see how each one’s daily meal can be redesigned to (vegan) save the human race from the Sixth Mass Extinction.

However, one may read up all this information from the net but it may not strike the right chords; but Vignesh puts it all in perspective by starting the session with a sneak peek in our Values and Belief systems which are instrumental in causing certain behaviours. Armed with his training in Behavioural Sciences, he is able to induce his audiences to introspect and discover the cause of discord between one’s values / beliefs on one hand and actions on the other. If used actively in ones lifestyle to ensure ‘harmony between thought, word and deed’ it can fill one’s existence with joy, peace and real prosperity.

I believe Animals are Citizens of this Planet and all we need to do is extend the laws and norms of the civil society to them as well and Veganism would then either become a norm or irrelevant!

The workshop made me introspect about the lifestyle I have chosen and whether I am doing justice with the other living beings sharing the planet along with me!

Also made me connect back to the old, simple time wherein we lived a minimal, simple yet a happy life by consuming healthy food without committing any harm or damage to the other living beings.

It actually made me modify my choices and made me feel amazing about the kind of life I have chosen now to save my world .

YV CARE HAS AN AMAZING VISION FOR THE WHOLE WORLD AND ALL SPECIES AS ONE FAMILY…THEY ARE COMMITTED TO SEE THE WORLD GO VEGAN AND PROTECT INNOCENT HELPLESS ANIMALS FROM TORTURE…MORE POWER TO THEM AND THEIR ULTRA SELFLESS AND COMMITTED EFFORTS!!!

Because …There are some workshops that can help transform a life…however your work effectively helps transform the world to its optimum betterment and even protects all that’s precious in it for the future generations… one can only bow in gratitude for your amazing SELFLESS service to the planet

…THE WORKSHOP NOT ONLY RAISES AWARENESS BUT ALSO BUILDS COMPASSION….IT’S MUCH NEEDED IF WE ARE COMMITTED TO STEER THE WORLD TO OUR HEALTH…SAFETY AND A BRIGHT FUTURE WHICH WILL AFFECT ALL THE FUTURE GENERATIONS ???

It’s an intensive workshop wherein Vignesh puts a very strong emphasis on protecting every specie as each serves the planet in a specific way to keep our health and safety protected and especially helps saves millions of animals from gruesome torture…and this protects life and beauty on the entire earth as well. So this workshop is even addressing a major emergency where many species are fast becoming extinct and the planet is becoming less habitable because of natural calamities much of which is manmade n due to irresponsible greed
