We get to enjoy a lot of delicious cuisine throughout our journey. Most of our meals are vegetarian, although, in many instances, we are able to provide non-vegetarian selections. Meals are plentiful, and in several instances, gourmet. We also ensure that the food is always hygienically prepared. In addition, we make sure that you have a balanced diet, supplementing it with special foods whenever possible.

During our retreat at the Ashram, you will find the food simple, but nutritious and filling. It is usually eaten on the floor and with one’s hands, although stools and silverware are provided for those who need it. Breakfast is eaten in silence, while lunch and supper are sometimes accompanied by readings. The lunch readings are from scholarly works on philosophy or theology, while supper readings are lighter, usually taken from spiritual journeys, stories and biographies.

Festive meals are always eaten on a banana leaf. We try to begin and end all our meals with prayers and chants, or at the very least, a period of silence. Breakfast begins with a blessing, lunch begins with devotional chanting, and supper is commenced with praise for the power, the shakti, contained in all things, especially in food. Meals are ended with a chant from the Bhagavad Gita, celebrating the consumption of energy through the fire that dwells within us.

Meals in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, enroute. Even during our time at the ashram, we get to eat a number of meals at gourmet restaurants, thus allowing for a variety of tastes and dietary needs.
