I Ate at an Indian "Diet Centre." What's Is It?!?

Is this the healthiest meal in India? I went to an Indian Ahaar Kendra or Diet Centre to see what food is served and find out why it's so healthy. This restaurant is located across the road from Gandhi's final ashram in Sevagram, Maharashtra.

Satvik food is a dietary concept rooted in Ayurveda and Hindu philosophy, emphasizing purity, balance, and simplicity in eating habits. It is a vegetarian cuisine that promotes foods believed to have a calming and harmonizing effect on the body and mind.

Satvik food avoids the consumption of garlic, onions, and certain pungent spices, as they are thought to stimulate desires and disturb mental clarity. Instead, it encourages the intake of fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, dairy products, and mild spices.

The underlying principle is to cultivate a sense of inner peace, spiritual awareness, and overall well-being through a diet that aligns with a sattvic (pure and balanced) lifestyle, avoiding foods perceived as Rajasic (stimulating) or Tamasic (dulling).

You switched the names actually. What you called bharta was actually zunka and what you called zunka was actually bharta. It feels so good to see someone covering this particular place, I feel nostalgic. I've grown up in Wardha and this particular place is where I still love to go. It's simple, not expensive and wholesome. Great video ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Hey Karl, there is a Jain temple near the Maharashtra border called Muktagiri. It's located in the jungle, and you have to climb some steps to reach it. There are multiple temples at the top, and the food there is Satvik and quite good. I suggest that you consider visiting some Jain temples as well. Just remember not to consume any non-vegetarian food for at least 24 hours before your visit.

Hello Karl! great job in bringing out this aspect of India. Although there is one correction. โ€˜Aaharโ€™ literally translates to food in marathi. Sevagram is famous for its charitable causes and helping the poor. You might find similar NGO run restaurants in Maharashtra often. They are not diet centres but affordable food centres mainly for people on budget (daily wage workers,students,travellers etc.) The rates are regulated and are at least 50% less than outside. They have nothing to do with โ€˜dietโ€™ as such. I used to eat regularly in one of these when I was in college. 15 rupees breakfast and 25 rupees for meal. Hope it helps!

It's always a pleasure when you upload a food related video. It's the rich history of the dish, the people behind making them, the way you narrate and experience the food is so satisfying to watch! Thank you Karl!

This is a super under-rated location and video, Saatvik food in a local chain is a spectacular experience for us city folks , but you getting to experience and also explain the meaning of it with such clarity to the world is a wonderful thing. Village food is sooo sooo underated , it is very satiating and something we always look forward to. the other youtubers mostly video heavy butter chicken naan and roadside stuff but India just understands food. I really hope this is content that comes from some youtubers and this is an experience i would love many westerners should try go for a non super touristy place and have simple food , its a very different experience!!

Karl and everyone kaise ho? Ashram food is great because it follows satvik tradition. That means basically super light on spices, especially hot spices. An ashram doesn't use garlic nor onions in their food preparation and they offer it to Bagwan before distributing it to people. The browner the chapati or roti is, the healthier it is. If it's very white, it ain't healthy. It's all pure vegetarian. Great vlog buddy. Jai Hind!
