Eat SATVIK and be alive, alert & active!

We eat so we can get ENERGY, NOURISHMENT & LIFE.
But our experience after eating is Lethargy, Tiredness, Laziness!
Why????????
Are we eating right?

Food has 3 basic qualities (Tri-Gunas) in foods - Rajas – Activity, Tamas – Inertia & Satva – Essence/Purity

Rajasik food destroys the mind-body equilibrium. It stimulates the nervous energy; excites passions; creates sensuality, sexuality, greed, jealousy, anger, delusion, conceit, fantasies, egotism and irreligious feelings.
Fast Food i.e. eating in a hurry is also considered Rajasik

Tamasik food benefits neither the mind nor the body. It consumes a large amount of energy while being digested. Our Prana (life force), or energy is withdrawn; powers of reasoning become clouded; sense of inertia sets in. This destroys Body's resistance to disease. Fills mind with dark emotions, such as anger and greed. It increases pessimism, ignorance, lack of common sense, greed, laziness, irreligion, criminal tendencies, and doubt. It creates a severe inferiority complex and antagonistic feelings. Overeating is also regarded as Tamasik

SATVIK food is the Purest diet - suitable for any studies including yoga. It nourishes the body mind and soul maintaining a calm, peaceful state. It purifies the mind & Balances body chemistry with higher states of consciousness. This leads to true health: a peaceful mind in control of a fit body, with a balanced flow of energy between them. It promotes mental clarity, Emotional serenity, sensual balance & Aids in the coordinated functioning of the body, mind, heart, senses and spirit.

Welcome to SATVIK Seva Kitchen

Eating / cooking can be a meditative experience.
Food can bind people together; create healthy & wealthy societies.
Food can be positive or negative in energy.

The quality of food depends not only on the ingredients but also on the consciousness with which it is prepared.
Food offered with expectation of money has Tamas (greed, anger) built in it.
But food offered as Seva (humble offering) naturally becomes SATVIK.
Precisely why traditionally in the ancient Vedic culture selling and buying food was considered as a sin.
Food was only offered and received as a Prasad – GOD’s gift.
Hence it balanced energy & supported the physical, emotional, intellectual, social and spiritual health of every living being in society!
“SATVIK SEVA KITCHEN” brings this tradition back. Here the food is prepared with fresh vegetables, fruits, nuts, sprouts & all positive energy (PRANIC) ingredients.
It is prepared in a happy joyful atmosphere and by sevaks (volunteers) who want to offer their love & joy through the food.
