I know it is hot. The last thing anyone wants to do is stoke up the kitchen fires. But it has been such a busy summer here, that by the time August arrived and we had a chance to slow down, all I wanted for a few days was my staple comfort food ~ simple, easy-to-make, balancing Kichari!

Sometimes I add carrots, broccoli, green beans, zucchini, green beans and/or spinach

I like to sprinkle it with Gomasio and serve it with Cucumber Raita, a Summer Salad, and Rose Fennel Mint Tea. I promise you ~ it will refresh and restore you in no time.

Over the weekend of the Yoga Journal Conference, we served it to Yogarupa Rod Stryker when we were so honored to have him for dinner.

Bhava and Rod

The following weekend we were immensely blessed by the visit of H.H. Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji and Sadhvi Bhagawatiji who graced our community with a divine Talk and Darshan, and graced our home with a sweet interlude. They also got Summer Kichari, by request!

At Coronado Beach

Sadhviji just wrote a book on Swamiji’s big saintly, humanitarian life, an extraordinary, sumptuous book that is perhaps the most beautiful and most inspiring book I have ever seen. Because they are monks and chose not to profit from it, the book is also very inexpensive and goes on sale online today. I really recommend it.

By God’s Grace

What a blessing to be able to nourish these divine beings and, for all the ways they nourish us, to feed them our love and gratitude with healing, nurturing kichari.

I wish you too to be divinely nourished!

Namaste!
