'''[[Ardas]]''' is a unique prayer; It's an appeal to [[Waheguru]]; a way to address and petition the Almighty; to gain spiritual energy; to connect with God.

'''[[Vegetarianism]]''': We should not increase our '''burden of [[karma]]s''' by eating higher life forms. There is '''karmic value in every kind of thing we use''' in this world.

Everything has a ''Karmic value''. Depending on the "Jun" (life-form), there is a price to be paid. Lower life forms have a lower price to pay. Fruits and plants have a lower spiritual price than animal life forms. So why take the higher burden?  '''[[Vegetarianism| Continued.....]]'''
