Monk’s Delight

2020 has been a tough year to say the least. We’ve lost so many loved ones during the Covid pandemic and its been hard for anyone of us to accept.

one thing we can do is to keep their memory alive through the their words, actions and many lessons learnt along the way.

This is a meal I was taught by HH Bhakti Charu Swami, the summer before I started university. It was a meal that would be His go to diet when He’d want a break from the norm and something He was fond of teaching. He wanted me to have a healthy-ish quick fix meal at my finger tips, for the student life and even after.

This consists of spinach and semolina mix, stir fry vegetables, buttered asparagus, brown rice and a bottomless pizza.

I wanted to take this week to meditate through my cooking on a very special soul who was a spiritual warrior, the best teacher and guide, we were fortunate to associate and learn from.

So many of us were blessed to learn more than spiritual practice from Him, so often I’d learn cooking, take part in History debates, as well as Science lessons which would often make an appearance during cooking, “this metal is being used as it conducts heat perfectly for this dish” knowledge flowing from Him in every aspect of life.

Give this go, it honestly is life changing.
