It really is a great honour & privilage to be shown around some special sacred spaces within ISKCON Bhaktivedanta Manor in Watford.
It really is a great honour to finally get to visit the ISKCON Bhaktivedanta Manor in Watford and an even greater honour to be allowed into the kitchen where the delicious & nutritious Prasadam (Prashad) Blessed food is prepared daily.
The Hari Krishna devotees serve up (free meals) to anyone and everyone at their temples and events and it's known as Prasadam (Prashad) which is santified (blessed) food.
The seva & devotion reminds me of Punjabi Sikhs who do very much the same type of service at their temples who serve up Langar (free meals).
On the menu on the day of my visit was:
Chana Aloo Curry
Matar Paneer
Dal
Basmati Rice
Mix Veg Dry Curry
Chapati
Puri
Far Far
The Hare Krishna devotees lovingly prepare food that is blessed by hand and human touch and further energised and charged by positive thoughts.
Radha Mohan Das kindly tells us that no meat, no fish, no eggs, garlic or onion not even mushrooms are not used in any of the cooking in this Sattvik kitchen.
Everything is cooked with loving devotion (Seva or Bhakti) to the Lord.
