   Pure Vegetarian By Lakshmi

LAKSHMI

   [Vairagya-Lakshmi-Dasi.jpg]
   I’ve been scratching my head for a long time whether to blog or not.
   I’m a lousy blog reader myself which, I've been warned, is a weak
   premise for becoming a blogger. I visit food blogs occasionally to
   boost an inspiration to cook. Cooking is important to me.
   I started cooking when we were running a bhakti-yoga centre in northern
   Greece with my husband, over 20 years ago. However, even before getting
   my head and heart around kitchen, I had learnt to value cooking skills,
   as well as eating, while following a monastic order in an ashram for
   several years. For me, food is related to purity. It nourishes body and
   soul alike.
   Cooking is a reflection of lifestyle and culture. It tells about the
   qualities we appreciate and adhere to. It is a form of social
   interaction and a way to share affection and care. It is a primary need
   that, unfortunately, is devaluated by the modern society. It bothers
   me. I hope it is a conflict worth of a blog.
   UP CLOSE & PERSONAL
   As a bhakti-yogini, I’m a servant of Krishna and vaishnavas in the
   Brahma Madhva Gaudiya Sampradaya. It is an ancient school of philosophy
   and a disciplic succession in the Vedanta tradition of India. With such
   background, my work lies within the realm of consciousness. It allows
   me to live simple, sustainable life and make responsible choices.
   Cooking healthy and wholesome is an exercise of love and goodness. For
   me, it is an essential yoga-practice.
   One of the first things I learnt on the path of self-realization is
   non-violence. It means not to harm one self, other human beings,
   animals or plants. Ultimately, non-violence refers to enlightenment
   about the nature of all living entities. It is a gateway out of
   ignorance.
   In our home, we call food as prashad, mercy. Every spoonful is a gift.
   It makes cooking and eating an act of devotion. I’m excited, although
   shy, to offer the visual remnants of these blessings to you. I hope
   they will encourage you with your beneficial values and lifestyle
   choices.
   FACTS & FIGURES
   I currently live in the countryside, outside of Helsinki, Finland, with
   my husband. I am 51 years old and have just finished writing my first
   cookbook, Pure Vegetarian.

   ABOUT THE RECIPES
   The idea of this blog is to be inspirational. I am a spontaneous cook
   and often forget to write down  measurements. Please take it into
   consideration if trying out the preparations.
   Some of them, especially the ones with an Indian influence, may appear
   complicated due to the amount of spices. However, my approach to
   cooking is simple: the ingredients are common and easily found, and the
   cooking process is fairly quick and flexible. Feel free to adjust the
   recipes to suit your taste and requirements.
   LANGUAGE
   Last but not least, please pardon my English. I'm getting old.
   Vocabulary and grammar are slipping out of memory even in my native
   tongue. Bare with me :-).
   Thank you for visiting the blog.
   Sincerely,
   Lakshmi Wennäkoski-Bielicki
