If you are asking if this is true in Theosophy, let me point out that 
H. P. Blavatsky was NOT a vegetarian. Many theosophists encourage it, 
but, as we are not Mahatmas, we have to balance the karma we create for 
ourselves.

Now, membership in the Esoteric Section requires that one be a 
vegetarian, but that organization lost its relevance (but, 
unfortunately, not its influence) decades ago.
