Rashmi Ahuja

Here’s presenting all about “Sattvic (yogic)” pattern of eating as requested by some of you during our celebration.

Once again this is to thank you all for joining in to celebrate and giving me an opportunity to serve you 🙏🏻🤗🙏🏻

As per , all the activities we do are categorized into three modes i.e. “ ”(mode of goodness), “rajasic” (mode of passion), and “tamasic” (mode of ignorance) affecting our state of because we all know that yoga is not only limited to our physical health as it also nurtures our mental, emotional, and spiritual health.

However, for the purpose of this post and your request, I’ll be talking about pattern of eating.

As per yoga, food not only provides for the body for our physical health but also nourishes and energizes our minds helping to uplift ourselves spiritually, mentally, and, emotionally.

Saatvic diet or is based on foods with qualities of “Sattva”. is the quality of goodness, purity, positivity, clarity, truth, serenity, balance, peacefulness, and virtuousness following “dharma” (duty) and “gyan” (knowledge). Hence, with qualities of Sattva emphasizes upon non violence, conscious, and pure eating. This means it is not just a vegetarian diet but also is mindfully home cooked and eaten with a pure/positive state of mind to be able to have high energy, happy, peaceful, and a calm state of mind.

It is rightly said “You are what you eat”.

So, if I want to have divinity, clarity, purity, peace, and happiness i.e. Saatvic state mind, I will have to have Saatvic food. I can not have tamasic (mode of ignorance) or rajasic (mode of passion) food and expect to have a Saatvic state of mind.

Saatvic foods include whole grains, beans, legumes, sprouts, nuts, seeds, seasonal vegetables/fruits, jaggery, honey, and dairy.

You don’t have to believe me, honestly, experiment it yourself for 21 days or just start with one week to begin with and see for yourself because spirituality is all about experimenting and experiencing, and not belief, just like

Hope you find this helpful.

Stay happy and stay smiling ❤️🤗
