I became vegetarian because I went to India to learn Indian violin and Sarod. Indian people have the devotion to God and easily be expressed through rituals and priglimidges. I am influenced by Neem Karoli Baba, Ananda Moi Ma, Yogananda-ji, Ramana Maharishi, Shinji Takahashi, Buddha, Saraswaty and my Guruji in Nagpur.
