अहं वैश्वानरो भूत्वा प्राणिनां देहमाश्रित: |
प्राणापानसमायुक्त: पचाम्यन्नं चतुर्विधम् || 14||
It is I who take the form of the fire of digestion in the stomachs of all living beings, and combine with the incoming and outgoing breaths, to digest and assimilate the four kinds of foods.
~ Gita 15:14

Right from ancient times, we recognised the importance of digestion for our mental and physical health. Thus, the Indic Knowledge Systems determined that good diet (ahāra) included the type of food, the person’s thoughts process who prepared the food, the time of consuming the food and the amount of consumption played an important role on our well-being long before the modern triple blind tests came into vogue.

To understand the relevance of our ancient knowledge on diet in these modern times, Indic Academy in association with the Centre For Soft Power is organizing Ahara – a series of workshops on Indian food.

Organisers

The organisers of the workshop are Dr. Rupa Vasudevan, Bharat Lal Meena (B.E.S.T Innovation University ) and Vijayalakshmi Vijayakumar (Heritage Foundation).

Indic Academy, Centre for Soft Power and the World Forum for Education have extended support to the event.
