Devlok: Food of The Gods by Devdutt Pattanaik
Requirements: ePUB, PDF or AZW3 Reader, 1.4MB
Overview: Why do we offer Vishnu butter, but Shiva milk? Why is Krishna offered the chappanbhog fifty-six items of food during Annakuta? Do the goddesses not like bhog? Where does the custom of hanging a lemon and seven chillies come from? Is there a legendary male cook among the gods? Anna is called Brahmin, the way bhasha is called Brahmin. Food and the action of eating maintain life. And yet, traditionally the devis remind you that whenever you eat, you’ve killed something, sacrificed someone, even plants which come from farms, decimating forests and rivers. The devi reminds one that to build your civilization sanskriti you destroy your nature prakriti. Feast your mind on intricate details behind how we offer food to the gods, and why certain foods are part of the Indian tradition, in this short, sweet read from Devlok.
