Prasadam: Cooking with Devotion
Preparing food with devotion and offering it to Krishna transforms ordinary eating into a sacred act. Our prasadam section honors this beautiful practice with recipes that follow sattvic principles (no onion, no garlic) while delighting the senses.
In Vaishnava tradition, cooking is itself a form of meditation—an opportunity to think of Krishna while preparing His meal. The consciousness of the cook affects the quality of the food, which is why we emphasize cultivating loving thoughts during preparation.
