A Wonderful Lady

Today we went to have breakfast at a place in Lakshmipuram, near the old shala. This is the place where all the old yogis back in the 80:ies and 90:ies used to eat. They have a little shop where they sell books, mats, incense and all kinds of yogic supplies. And then they have breakfast, lunch and dinner. The lady running the place is called Nagarathana. She cooks Ayurvedic food, and since they are a Brahmin familly, she blesses the food she serves, and cooks it with love. Since it was our first time there, she gave us the breakfast for free! And I tell you, it was the best breakfast I've had here! We had a lovely chai, then some kind of pure made from mung beans mixed with ghee and some spices and cashew nuts and had with a chutney. I've never had anything like it before, but it was soooo good! Then we had the best fruit sallad and home made curd (=yoghurt here in India- it's less sour than in Sweden and I like it better). She said that love, kindness and good karma is a lot more important than money. Money comes and goes, but you always carry your karma with you...so true!

We will definately go back for lunch!

Yummie, good and healty food and warm and tender people, so nice! Your days seems so...easy?! That´s good.Yesterday I thought about having time to rest, how important that is. Yoga + one (activity) someone said. That´s enough. I agree. Enjoying a lot to read about your stay, keep up the blogging and hope the powercuts will decrease!
