The Dharma of Food |
|||
|
In the last 200
years or so we have weakened our ties to the earth. It is the earth
that manifests our food. It is indeed time we return our thanks to
the elements that it is made of: space, air, fire, water and earth
itself. We do this by remembering that food begins with taste,
carries energy and eventually turns into the five elements within.
In this lecture we will discuss the Ayurvedic and Yogic concepts of
ahara: that which nourishes us and pathya: a suitable diet based on
individual need. In the end, food must nourish us emotionally,
mentally and physically. We must change our language from
"nutritional value" to "taste and nourishment value" to once again
discover the joy of eating dharmically.
