PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Reality of a lifestyle ... ... The Vegetarian Way
The Vegetarian Way is no more a concept. It used to be but now it has become a scientific fact of being a healthy way of living.
This is a special invitation to become acquainted in depth with all aspects about the Relaity of a Vegetarian Lifestyle from experts, doctors, alternative therapists, nutritionists, herbalists, cooks and experienced vegetarians from the East and West.
Welcome to the 37th IVU World Vegetarian Congress from 10th September to 16th September, 2006 in Goa, an ideal resort place to educate, relax, be in peaceful beauty and serenity of the environment, enjoy the health-promoting foods, and to concentrate on one's own needs now and on the far-reaching benefits in the future. In this way we also become friends of the universe and the innocent animals.

WELCOME
The Vegetarian Society (Reverence for Life) and the undersigned being the Gen. Secretary welcome you to the 37th IVU World Vegetarian Congress. This is not a routine congress or a seminar but a special one and I welcome you from my heart. And you not surprised that a congress like this is in India, a country full of spiritualism and Vegetarianism and a majority of the population is vegetarian.
Globalisation has made ther world smaller and there is more interaction between the countries and its human beings.
Non-Vegetarianism is travelling at a fast pace from West to East. Younger generation is sitting on the fence, not knowing where to jump.
This Congress is to create an awareness of vegetarianism. We welcome all to Goa, India, the venue for the congress.
Heartiest welcome to everyone!!!
Jashu
