Spiritualize Your Rasoi | Ep 08 | Moong Dal Chilla Recipe | Brahmakumaris

Spiritualize Your Kitchen:
Food has an important role in our life since the beginning of time. In the past episodes, we have described what pure food actually means and how to spiritualize your kitchen. But many people believe that pure satwik food means boring food. That is not so. This will only add harmony in your life, if you use variety and good technique.
This particular episode, the cooking expert is Dr. Mrs. Archana Gupta. She is a Ph.D. in microbiology and has done a course in food and nutrition. She still considers herself a student because student life is full of fun and is carefree. She extensively uses Rajyoga meditation and its practical application in life, thereby earning peace, happiness and satisfaction.
The recipes for today are as follows:

Thoughts to create while cooking:
Ask yourself –My food constructs my body. So, what to eat or what not to eat is in my hands. Satwik food creates love, freedom and tolerance inside me. Now I have to think as to what all qualities do I want to mix with my food. The voice that comes from within needs to be caught and felt.
Om Shanti.
