how does ahimsa relate to other hindu beliefs
Silk fiber can be obtained without killing the pupa by using a method called " ahimsa silk" or "peace silk." In this process, the cocoons are harvested after the silk moth has naturally emerged, allowing the pupa to complete its life cycle. This method not only preserves the moths but also promotes ethical silk production practices, appealing to environmentally conscious consumers. Additionally, some producers may also use techniques that allow for the extraction of silk from cocoons without harming the pupa inside.
Ahimsa: the act of nonviolence to all things. This is found in many religions but it was first discovered in Jainism.
