WORKSHOP OF THE DAY: VAAKYARTHA SADHAS - FOOD IS DIVINE

PROCEDURE:

1. The topic of discussion is “Food is the repository of the Divine.” Start by asking students about their cognitions about food (how do they relate to food, what are their food habits, do they offer the food to the Divine, etc.) then let the discussion flow.- At the end, ask each student to write down their new cognitions about food.

CONCLUSION: Food is divine since it has Krishna’s imprint on it. We tend to take food for granted. Offering food to other living beings, has been considered a form of worship in Hindu tradition. Before eating, we must offer gratitude to the Universe for what we have received and meditate upon the food.
