Prem-Prasad

Prem-Prasad = Food of Love

 

 

Prem means love/original Love to God and Prasad means sanctifyed/offered Food.

 

Premprasad  is active charity, the desire to support the humans,espcially the poor, with distribuiting healthy food and therefore helping them to satisfy basic human needs.With the distribution of food we support and enhance them in participation of their live.Premprasad means to live solidarity and to develop empathy towards human beings trough giving from the heart!

 

In the city of Vrindavan,a pilgrimage place in India,

a group of Europeans and Indians distribute Premprasad

(Kichary or Kedgeree- a dish made of rice,lentils and vegetables) every day of the year!This charity activity started on Christmas 2007.Today we distribute five buckets of Kitchary in the morning and three buckets of Kitchary

in the evening.

 

Kitchary is a basic healing-food of Ayurveda and often recommendet to complement a therapy because it cleans the intestinal tract and in the same time it is very nutritious:

 rich of proteins (Mung lentils),carbohydrates (Basmati rice),

minerals,vitamins and micronutrients (vegetables,spices,ghee).

It is adequate for every type of dosha (bodily constitiution). 

 

This Kitchary is prepared according to vedic regulations and offered to the Temple Deity`s Radha Mohan.

Our deep desire in distribuiting the Kitchary is to develop love to God and his creation for everyone who is taking the Prasad and for everyone who is helping in providing this service.  

It is very important for us to take responsability for our own actions and we want to intensify the connection to te fellow human being and the nature.

 

Premprasad is an example for living together in harmony .Sharing is very important,we wont to share resources.
