Join us as Devamrita Swami, a monk and a practicing Vegetarian for over 40 years helps us explore the connection between Food, consciousness and happiness. He has inspired thousands of people in every continent of the globe to embrace a lifestyle of Vegetarianism leveraging this for building not just health, but also happiness. The adage “you are what you eat,” has never been more true as people struggle with poor health and obesity.

Food is central to our lives and it’s only natural for food to be the among the most effective mediums to initiate a change in consciousness. Conscious living spans all thoughts and actions and, living consciously begins with conscious eating.

Food is the most basic necessity of life. Its purpose is to nourish the body, mind, and soul. It has the unique power to bring people together. All of us have had the experience of sitting down to a meal cooked with love and felt an immediate transformation of consciousness filling us with a sense of deep joy and happiness. Food that is old, decomposed, and consisting of dead flesh will pollute the body and consciousness. Food that is fresh, alive, and nutritious will, on the other hand, enrich the body, cleanse the mind, and satisfy the soul. When prepared with love, food can speak any language. Such food has the ability to break down barriers, turn anger into love, fear into trust, and ignorance into enlightenment. Conscious people live their lives in full awareness of their connection to their surroundings.
