Vedic/Yoga Kitchen
A traditional Indian kitchen is as important as the temple in an Indian home

VedicK1.gif (3517 bytes)

Cooking is a spiritual experience, a meditative experience, it is an opportunity to transcend the ingredients and work with the uniqueness of our existence and the existence of the earth and cosmos.

In order to honor the above the Indian kitchen is designed to be in the south east corner of the house. This is called the fire corner where the good energy of the sun prevails.

The kitchen is divided into 2 areas ~ one is for preparation and cooking and the other for cook ware and storage. All cleaning of used dishes is done outside the kitchen.

The cook knows the principles of Ayurveda and yoga and the nature of food according to its Doshas, tastes and its properties and qualities. The cook knows the Doshas, lifestyle, health levels and ages of the people that she/he cooks for. There exists a feeling of love and nurturing in the cook.

A book that I would recommend for learning Ayurveda is Perfect Health : The Complete Mind/Body Program for Identifying & Soothing the Source of Your Body's Reaction by Dr. Deepak Chopra

Perfect Health by Dr. Deepak Chopra
