ANNAM, THE LIFE FORCE OF ALL BEINGS

Food is not mere nourishment. It is prana, the force that gives life to every being. 

Thaittiriya Upanishad

“prutthivya: oshadhayaha | o:sadhi:bhyo: annam| anna:th purushaha | sa va: e:sa purusho: annarasamayaha ||”

The earth gives plants. From plants comes food. From food, humans are born. Food is not mere nourishment. It is pra:na the force that gives life to every being.

As Is The Food, So Are We

Our Body, Mind and Intellect are made of what we eat. 
By it we are shaped. 

  • Sattvik food brings peace.
  • Rajasik food breeds restlessness.
  • Tamasik food dulls the mind.

To eat pure food is to nourish the spirit. 
…To offer pure food is to nourish the world. 

Sathvik Food

Pure Food, Pure Mind, Pure Being

a:yus sattva bala:rogya 
sukha pri:ti vivardhana:ha | 
rasya:s snigdha:h sthira: hrudya:ha 
a:ha:ra:s sa:thvika priya:ha || 17.8 

Bhagavad Githa in Verse 17.8 advises the consumption of Sathvik food. They are juicy, wholesome, nourishing and pleasing to the heart. They promote longevity, purity of mind, health, happiness and contentment. Hence sathvik food is served in all sarragrams. 

This prasadam becomes a means of Bhagavad kainkarya, service to the Lord and also contributes to not only satiating hunger, but also purification of the minds of devotees, making them fit for devotion and spiritual growth. 

“annamayam hi manaha 
The mind is indeed made of food ||” 

food served daily
