Diet 

Swamiji eats simple yet sattwic food. Normally he eats whatever is offered without making any issue about diet. But then we think that the lady of the house never get satisfied until she serves the Swamiji with the best possible food and keeping that in mind we have offered some suggestions here. There is always some inquiry from kitchen department like - What should she make for Swamiji? As Swamiji eats meals in different homes everyday, some kind of uniformity and balance is desirable. Moreover Swamiji is a Yogacharya, hence regularity in diet is of utmost importance.
