BRITAINS one and only Green MP, CarolineLucas, has taken over from Labour leaderJeremy Corbyn as chair of the ParliamentaryCampaign for Nuclear Disarmament.
And she wasted no time in stiffening thebackbone of the Labour leader who, she seemsto think, might fudge opposition to Trident,Britains outdated nuclear weapon by voting notto renew it, rather than scrap it altogether.
Under the headline A weapon-free Trident isuseless. Jeremy Corbyn must be brave, Lucaswrote in The Guardian last month: Its clearthat, as well as winning over a chunk of Torybackbenchers, we need Labour to stand strongon this issue.
It is with that in mind that I was sorry to hearthat my fellow anti-Trident campaigner, theLabour leader Jeremy Corbyn, is consideringthe renewal of Britains Trident-capablesubmarine fleet while saying he wouldntpurchase new warheads.
It seems clear to me that if we keep thesubmarines ready to be re-armed at someundisclosed point in the future, we
fundamentally undermine any decision not topurchase new warheads.
Lucas is the MP for Brighton Pavillion inSussex and is set to open the VegFestUK showin the town at the end of this month.
She was vice-chair of the Parliamentary CNDgroup before taking over from Corbyn, whoobviously feels such a high-profile controversialposition doesnt behove his new leadership role.
She continued: If we are truly committed toreducing the worldwide nuclear threat andfulfilling our obligations under the non-proliferation treaty, realdisarmament is ourduty.
Keeping our nuclearweapons capabilitysends a signal to therest of the world thatsecurity is dependent onbeing able to useweapons of massdestruction, and thusdrives proliferation.
Kate Hudson, generalsecretary of theCampaign for NuclearDisarmament (CND),said: Caroline has atrack record in opposingnuclear weapons that issecond to none.
She also has alongstanding com-mitment to CND and thecause of peace and weare delighted that shehas accepted theposition of chair ofParliamentary CND.

FANCY A CUPPA?AS BARACK Obama starts to clear his desk at
least he wont have to be plagued by a reminder
of the man who might well replace him at the
White House.
For a Donald Trump reference, until now
found on the inside of Honest Tea bottle lids,
has been pulled.
It seems the organic brand is one of Baracks
favourites. Pity - he could have left some for the
new incumbent. (See Friendly Comment).

After passing stringent tests and filling in
detailed forms she can now proudly use the
Vegan Soc Partner symbol which means
delegates can be sure all ingredients used
on her course will be 100% vegan.
The full Veg Soc approved symbol
couldn't be granted because the society no
longer accredits cooking courses.
Vronique a veggie since the mid-1990s
(quite a feat in veggie-unfriendly France)
said: "Its important that veganism is
serious, trustworthy with solid grounding."
In an e-mail Sally Murray-Fella, a
member of the Vegan Society's business
development team, says: "I wish you the
best of luck with your endeavour and
commend you on your support for the
vegan cause."
Veronique continued: "We have two
programmes. One with French and vegan
cooking and one with cooking only both with
Christophe Bolis a young French chef with
lots of enthusiasm and imagination.
"And the French course is taught in
Avignon in a French school.
"During the course, which is held on the
last two weeks of every month, we will talk
about vegetarianism and veganism and lots
of other things at every level of competence
in the language."
And she added: "I have been vegetarian
for 20 years now in a country where one
could say meat is important to the culture.
"For me the most important reason is the
suffering of animals [and not to be part of
that]."

EVER walked past a busy supermarketlate at night and languished at thethought of tons of perfectly good foodgoing to waste in the dumpsters.
Now a restaurant which opened last
week will make sure none of it ends up in
landfill sites but, instead, turns up as
delicious vegetarian meals on your plate.
Tiny Leaf, in its four-storey premises in
Westbourne Park Road, Notting Hill, bills
itself as zero waste and organic.
It is the brainchild of chef, writer and
food activist Justin Horne, along with
general manager Jonathan Krauss
(formerly of high-profile Marylebone
restaurant Chiltern Firehouse) and Alice
Gilsenan as marketing director.
The mouthwatering menu typically
includes dishes such as buckwheat
pancake with blueberry compote, coconut
yoghurt and bee pollen; courgette with
hemp pesto, toasted almond, and rye wafer
with butterbean ragu, tomatoes and
homemade paneer; with desserts such as
rhubarb, ginger and carrot crumble; and
orange, polenta and chia seed syrup cake.
All food is donated by Langridge Organic
Products, Planet Organic, Whole World
Water, Wild Country Organics and
Riverford Farms.
Tiny Leaf says these products are still
usable a number of days after their sell-by-
dates run out.

GETTING a better nights kip and
sleeping more deeply is the natu-
ral result when you cut back on
sugar and fatty foods and eat
more fibre, a study has revealed.
And not being able to get
enough shut-eye can lead to hy-
pertension, diabetes and cardio-
vascular disease, it is claimed.
The startling report from the
Columbia University in New York
was published in the Journal of
Clinical Sleep Medicine last
month. Principal investigator
Marie-Pierre St-Onge told the
well-respected journal: Our main
finding was that diet quality influ-
enced sleep quality.
It was most surprising that a
single day of greater fat intake
and lower fiber could influence
sleep parameters," she said. The
study showed that people who ate
more fibre in their diets, which
vegans and vegetarians do, spent
more time in deep, slow wave
sleep. People who knocked back
lots of saturated fat had more
shallow sleep and those who
drank lots of sugary drinks and
sweet snacks got up more often in
the night.
"This study emphasises the fact
that diet and sleep are interwoven
in the fabric of a healthy lifestyle,"
American Academy of Sleep Med-
icine president Dr. Nathaniel Wat-
son, who was not part of the
study, told the journal.
"For optimal health it is impor-
tant to make lifestyle choices that
promote healthy sleep, such as
eating a nutritious diet."
The study, using polysom-
nography (see pic left), also
found that subjects fell
asleep faster after fixed
meals lower in saturated fat
and higher in protein.
It took them an average of
29 minutes to fall asleep after
consuming foods and bever-
ages of their choice, but only
17 minutes to fall asleep after
eating controlled meals.

HARMFUL additives can causecancer, and it is the role ofgovernment to protect the public.
Thats the message from the
Department of Health which is
looking for an independent expert to
help clampdown on chemicals that
may cause cancer.
These could be found in the
environment, food and in make-up or
household products, it warns.
The post, which is unpaid, would
be as chair of the committee on
carcinogenicity of chemicals in food,
consumer products and the
environment (COC).
As chair you will provide scientific
advice independent of government or
industry and have expertise relevant
to the work of the COC and an
overview of the chemical
carcinogenicity field as a whole, the
DoH says.

THERE is no such thing ashumanitarian wars, there is no suchthing as humane killing.
Thats was the crystal clear message on
the Vegetarian Muslim Societys website
last month.
The comments, from Raul Fernandez-
Berriozabal, come as terrorists callously
slaughter hundreds of innocent victims in a
holy war; and vow to form a new caliphate
(so-called Islamic state) in the middle East.
Its atrocities in Paris last year left
hundreds dead and sparked worldwide
protest spawning the Je suis press
freedom movement supported by this mag.
In todays world we have access to all
forms of nutritious and delicious foods that
do not require to kill a sentient being with
the same ability to feel pain as you or I,
Berriozabal goes on to say.
q MEANWHILE The Muslim Observer has
withdrawn its complaint about People for the
Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and a
website somewhat controversially called
Islamic Concern.
The site claims Islam is a beautiful
religion which has always viewed animals
as a special part of Gods creation.
But it then unashamedly goes on to point
readers in the direction of articles with titles
such as Animal sacrifice or blood orgy?; Is
there such a thing as Halal foi gras?; and,
Bear-baiting is un-Islamic.
Adi James of the TMO said his main
concern was that the site should say it is
sponsored by PETA, which it now does.
And he adds: We may disagree about the
substantive issues relating to animal
treatment, but we no longer have ethical
concerns about their website.

Being
humanISHWAR PURI gives discourses and discussions basedon the beliefs and traditions surrounding an Indiancontemplative, meditative tradition known as Sant Mat.
He is the founder of the Institute for the Study of HumanAwareness (ISHA) and a teacher of spirituality in America.Known affectionately as Ishwar Ji, he has a devotedfollowing of souls of all ages and backgrounds.
He took time out of a busy schedule recently to givean interview to Stephen Ward. This is the first of anumber of parts of the whole, highly idiosyncratic,conversation. The others will appear in subsequent issues.[Guru] Charan Singh (one of the Sant Mat masters based in thePunjab in India) used to say that we should tell people we werevegetarian because we didnt want to kill.Can you comment on that?
There are two things about being a vegetarian. One is spiritual and the
other is intellectual. The spiritual answer would be that if we are going to
get something so wonderful as an escape from this world and go to our true
home in sach khand (true home) and the master says: Can you do this
for me?
Can you do a small thing for me? And we cannot do it. That meanswe are not very serious. Supposing you love somebody. He is abeloved of yours in this world. And the beloved says: Can youbring a book for me from the library? You will run for it to please the
beloved. Just to please the beloved you will do anything.
So the spiritual answer is; if a perfect living master is saying: Canyou do this for me, be a vegetarian? And if you say: I have aproblem [with that]. What kind of regard do you have for yourmaster; what kind of regard do you have for your path?
The intellectual answer is: If you want to meditate seriously there is
concentration of attention at the third eye centre the concentration of
Left: Lights
of Heaven -
The
Northern
Lights have
been
compared
with skies
of the astral
plane.

attention is affected depending upon what kind
of life you extinguish. If you kill a man and you
want to concentrate your attention, its very
difficult for several days. If you kill an animal it
is still there but much less. If you eat a
vegetable even then you have killed something
but the effect is much less because of the
degree of life in a vegetable.
So since meditation requiresconcentration of attention and killinganything, including an animal, affectsyour power to concentrate therefore it [killing an
animal] is not good for meditation.
Thats why the masters have all said be
vegetarian because then you can survive by
extinguishing life only of the lowest order.
If youre a vegetarian but you dont knowanything about spirituality might you beheaded in that direction? Might that be thenext step for you, spirituality, if youre avery strict vegetarian, but you dont knowabout it yet?
No, not at all. Being vegetarian doesnot make you spiritual. There are a lotof vegetarians who are totally notspiritual. Just being vegetarian does not make
you spiritual. It has to be much more than that.
The diet itself does not make
you spiritual.
Some people are carrying it so
far. For example, in Japan I
found sects there who say that
eating a certain kind of rice
makes you spiritual, that its the
rice itself which takes you to a
higher state.
So, you see, these kindsof things have beenpropagated becausethe diet itself is not important in
making you spiritual.
It is only if you are spiritual
that the diet matters.
There are people who arevegetarians to save theplanet. What is your view of thosepeople?If any of those people became
spiritual it would be an added
advantage.
They wont have to switch
from one type of diet to another.
Theyd already be vegetarian.
That would be helpful to them.
People ask me very often; if god is a lovinggod why is there so much evil in the world?Do you have an answer for that?
The god which we are trying to worshipand the god we talk about who is aloving god is not the creative power. Itsa god that has been set up as an opposite to a
satan or a devil. This duality between a good
god and a satan which is there in all religions
has been set up by the creative power in order
to experience duality. The ultimate creative
power is not the god you worship. The gods
that we worship are of the astral plane. The
gods who sit somewhere on a throne these
are the kinds of gods we worship. The creative
power is beyond duality, beyond good and evil.
You were initiated by Sawan Singh. Can youtell me a bit about him?Sawan Singh was the greatest master. I had
such a great experience with him. I had the
opportunity to spend a lot of time with him. He
was an ordinary human being living an ordinary
human life but like all perfect living masters his
awareness was total. When he shared his
[spiritual] awareness you could see it was total.
But as a human being he lived an ordinarylife, like any other human being. I wasinitiated very young. I was nine years anda few months old. My grandfather had taken me to
get half initiation. He [the master] used to give
young children [half initiation], which means he
taught them how to listen to the sound inside. It
was easy for the little kids to hear the sound. But
he would not give them the repetition of the simran
(mantra).
Later on they would come back to him forthe second half of the initiation. Then hewould give them simran (mantra). Thosewho were already teenagers or older he would
give them half the initiation of simran (mantra)Cont on p.10

only and give them dhun or bhajan
(listening for/to inner sound) afterwards.
My grandfather was an initiate ofhis. He took me for half-initiation. But the great master caught me by the
arm and asked me what kind of initiation I
wanted. What kind of nam do you want,
sweet or salted?
I knew that other kids would have said
sweet.
I said: I want the initiation that is insidemy head. Then he kept holding myarm and later took me inside and said:You will get full initiation.
So thats how, on the 9th March, 1937,
I got initiated.

HIGH STREET giant, Waitrose, is pulling someof its own brand mint sauce because pieces ofglass have been found in the vegetariancondiment and the public is being warned not toeat it.
The affected product is their 195g English Mint
Sauce with a best before date of March 2017.
In an official statement the Food Standards
Agency the UKs food watchdog said: Waitrose is
recalling one date code of its English Mint Sauce
195g because some jars may contain pieces of
glass.
And directly warning the public the agency
states: If you have bought this batch of the above
product do not eat it. Instead return it to the store
from where it was bought for a full refund.
No other Waitrose products are known to be
affected.
When a product is deemed unfit for sale two
steps are taken.
It is immediately withdrawn from supermarket
shelves and future sales are banned.
It is also recalled where customers are asked to
check their shelves to see if they have any awaiting
use or being used on their tables and urged to
return them to the stores where they were bought
immediately.
This is usually done with notices displayed in
stores informing customers of the recall.

IF YOU DONT BELIEVE ME, JUST WATCH A FLICK of the wrist, a break of the
knee even sitting at the hair-
dresser in curlers - this music video
breaks new ground for Bruno Mars!
Mars comes across here as a
hip-hop wide boy, rather than a
star-crossed or besotted lover.
At just under 55 (1.65m) Bruno
comes in short; shorter than
paparazzi nightmare, Justin
Beeber 57 (1.75m) and shorter,
even, than the female competition -
Taylor Swift is a giant 58 (1.78m).
But none of that takes anything
away from this pint-sized star.
Hes sex on legs - and he knows
it! - hes so pretty hes gotta kiss
himself.
Half Puerto Rican and half
Ashkenazi Jew - teaming up with
the formerly frum Mark Ronson
probably made a lot of sense.
Born and raised in Honolulu, he
was making music at a young age.
Now 30, Bruno has sold over
100 million singles and albums.

THIS IS an enchanting
trilogy telling the story of
a poor serf Gaston, who
wants to become a
knight, but it helps if
youre in the know on
this one.
Gaston is the adopted
son of a childless couple,
incredibly poor and
somehow he manages to
become a knight, but not
the sort he envisaged.
Surprisingly, through a
series of uncanny
happenstances, he is
sucked into an
alternative path to the
one he thought he
wanted - he becomes a
knight on the path of
spirituality.
He starts to move in
circles where he
encounters royalty, fighting armies, the dark
force of evil and much more.
Having saved the life of a dwarf, he earns
unquestioning loyalty from the man he saved -
a companion who sticks by his side, no matter
what.
The story unfolds in a classic fairytale style,
but what is different is the reader is led through
beautiful descriptions of the road to mysticism
and god realisation.
Through the stories of Gaston, Ixthia and
Roland, the author educates us about the way
of the Lord Magician (guru/master), how to be
non-judgemental, submit to what life throws at
us, be disciplined, meditate and follow a strict
vegetarian and moral lifestyle.
I really found it an enjoyable read, especially
the first two parts of the trilogy, but I did wonder
what readers who were not receptive to
spirituality or had no prior knowledge, would
make of it.
In some ways, as a disciple of a similar
spiritual path for which meditation is the
cornerstone, this book uplifted and encouraged
me.
However if I had different belief systems I
may not have found this work so engaging.

FRIENDLY COMMENTWe were all
Cranks onceONCE upon a time, in a land far, far
away . . .
It certainly seems like that now. Im
talking about the blossoming of a
revolution.
It wasnt the first time. That was in the
love generation, when organic,
vegetarian and veganism bubbled up
from the underground.
No. Im talking about the second time,
around ten or so years later when
vegetarianism again became
fashionable.
Yes, it was fashionable then.
There was a Cranks (we didnt mind
admitting it) sprouting on every street
corner, it seemed you could even find
them in West End stores, fashionable
ones! Cranks had blossomed from the
60s when the first outlet opened up in
Carnaby Street.
The food, delicious as it was, came in
large school-canteen type tins and was
served out for you as you moved up the
counter. I particularly remember the
huge cheese scones which you helped
yourself to on the way to the cash till.
Vegetarianism isnt new. Like
teenagers and sex it hasnt only just
been discovered it. It has a tradition and
a history which goes back decades.
Find a Cranks recipe, via our
Rosemary, on page 3. And visit their
website here for more.
Donald might
just trump it. . . . and then where would we be?
WE first heard of Donald Trump here in
the UK way back in July 2012 when he
opened up his 1bn golf course in
Aberdeenshire despite protests.
Now Trump International Golf Links,
Scotland is flourishing. With a string of
top awards, a five star hotel and some of
the best golfing turf in Europe if not the
world it is easily a top golfing destination.
Mr Trump triumphs!
How does he do it?
He finds out what people want, some
of which chimes with his own reactionary
tastes and like any good businessman,
he gives it to them.
Trouble is, the same recipe can work
in politics. And as front runner for the
Republican nomination for President of
the United States doesnt he just know it.
The tolerant, open-minded,
egalitarian, libertarian, fraternal section
of society who dont always put their
needs first arent natural winners.
Their version of fair-play is difficult to
sell - ask Barack.
With a wall between Mexico and the
USA that would have put Berlin to
shame, guns flooding into a country with
more gun crime than anywhere else in
the world and a ban on Muslims - thats
ANY Muslims - (just imagine that) being
allowed in, the dangers of a Trump
victory are too horrific to contemplate.
So come on Democrats Abroad - of
which we know there are plenty - get off
your asses and please do your electoral
duty. If you dont speak up we could ALL
end up in the bunker!
Bon apptit THE sunshine awaits, the history is ripe
for discovery and the cuisine . . . is
perfectly vegan!!
Vronique, a UK Vegan Society
supporter, offers you a unique language
and cooking course (see front page).
Set in one of the most historic towns
in southern France youll get an
opportunity to soak up the local culture,
atmosphere and language and improve
your cooking skills at the same time.
Christophe Bolis, who held audiences
spellbound at his demo in London last
year, will be showing you how to bring a
