In a foreword to a reprint of Brave New World, Aldous Huxley describes the sensation of an older writer re-reading a novel from the beginning of his writing career. His older ego desired to rewrite the book, adding alternative perspectives or options for the characters to end up in a different fate. At the same time, Huxley admires his younger self and decides that as much or more quality would be lost than gained in a rewrite. So he let it be, and directed the reader to what would be his last novel, Island, for a sample of what the reader would get if Huxley rewrote Brave New World at an older age.
In Yoga and Veganism, Sharon completes the work of Yoga and Vegetarianism, which is a rough draft of Yoga and Veganism. Yoga and Veganism is an “A to Z” yoga manifesto and manual. It is a complete mission statement, and guidebook for the execution of that mission. There is a streamlined core of vegan applications of select Asian religious texts, some personal testimonials of vegan advocates, some foundational vegan recipes and a yoga sequence based on the “chakras”. Sharon also breaks down and palatable shares her methods of communication, which are based in her unique interpretation of Buddhism derived from Indian, Tibetan and American sources.
Sharon’s language is simple and persuasive, well reasoned while retaining a heart centered intention. Some of her humor comes through, although in general this book is an exercise of her messianic voice, quite ambitious and serious in gravity and tone. As it is translated into other languages, it will reach a wide audience of yoga service providers (teachers), chefs and foodies, health advocates and diet gurus as well as animal rights advocates.
It is an improvement in every way upon Yoga and Vegetarianism (which will continue to stand strong on its merits), EXCEPT for the cover. In my opinion, the cover of Yoga and Vegetarianism is charming with the cute six armed goddess offering vegan delectable. The cover of Yoga and Veganism is more austere with only a few arcane symbols adorning the corners. This is representative of the second version of the same book presenting as a serious reference in a modern college level ethics or environmental philosophy course rather than a passing fad book to be checked out in the cashier’s aisle of a health food store. Both mediums and settings are crucial for this knowledge at this time, so I am glad Sharon has chosen to update Yoga and Vegetarianism into Yoga and Veganism. Worth the read even if you have already read Yoga and Vegetarianism.
