“Food for the body, food for the soul”
Conference by “Bhaktivedanta” Indian Study Center
Food has an important role in ayurvedic science (from Sanscrit “Ayu” = life, and “Veda” = science, the science of life, i.e. the medical art in the tradition of ancient India): according to its nature, it has a different influence on human personality. For a life of peace it is then essential to feed ourselves with not-violent food, because food feeds both physical and, on a thin level, psychical bodies.
