Vegetarianism In Yoga
Vegetarianism in Hinduism is dairy and plant food only no eggs. Western vegetarianism will include everything from meat like fish, chicken, turkey and also allow eggs. Making it actually meaningless which is the argument of vegans as well. The reason they also don't allow eggs in Hindu vegetarianism is because its a form of meat.
In the eastern texts the reasons for vegetarianism which is dairy and plant food only is openly given.
Meat is stated to stimulate the energies of the lower chakras especially the sacral chakra its interesting to note that the eating of meat is stated in the Yogic texts to help give more power to the subtle body and its ability to express power into and through the physical body. Its also designed to build a more powerful body that can handle the stronger flow of life force. Some texts mention that vegetarianism purposely weakens the sacral chakra in order to lower the sexual power which is the life force. The sacral chakra is given great importance as the seat of creative power. Its called the seat of Shakti because this is the chakra where the entrance to the sushumna nadi is located and part of. Weakening this chakra weakens the ability of the Kundalini to travel upwards. The original Ayurveda texts call meat the Sattvic form of food meaning the most powerful. Kundalini yoga was part of the practices of the Raja class and they eat meat normally. Sexual activity is part of the original eightfold path the practices around such relate to making this chakra powerful with SEXUAL ENERGY and using this to open the door to the sushumna. Vegetarianism is to weaken the process of Kundalini yoga and to weaken the person.
From the experience of people following Hindu vegetarianism when they activated the Kundalini it actually made it dangerous as the energy couldn't ground properly into the physical body it was only when they started eating meat this balanced out.
