Dear Sriman Sounderrajan, All the vegetables, rice, wheat, fruits nay all the vegetables are now grown under intense high yield mode of cultivation where often wide spread indiscriminate use of fertilizers and pesticides are in vogue. Should we start rejecting use of all of these? There is also a practical and important medical reason to stop using such stuff and try to live on naturally produced foodstuff. This will definitely become more prevalent once the dangers of consuming such food become common knowledge. Till then we are prisoners of the existing situation, where feeding the multitude in countries such as India and China is the number one priority of the nation. We will by and by see better sense prevailing and migrate towards living in tune with nature. I suppose it will be very difficult to get out of this situation, unless we are prepared to alter our lives totally. In the present society where we are constrained to work hard for earning our livelihood and educate our children etc, it is difficult to avoid the use of all such things alien to our spiritual calling. But we should try and overcome some of the obstacles by and by while clinging to the Lotus Feet of the Lord and chanting His Holy Names incessantly. Jai Sriman Narayana Regards, Ramanujam.
