Sant Bani Ashram and its surrounding land was established as a sanctuary for living creatures, and, beyond the obvious restrictions against hunting and fishing, there is also the practice of following a vegetarian diet. This diet, a means to cause as little harm as possible, is practiced in the School as well. While students and families are not asked to change their diets outside of school, it is required that all food brought to and consumed on campus or as part of any school functions, be vegetarian.
