22.01.2022 "Pilgrimage of the Heart" - Thoughtful Thursday with Devaki Nandana Dasi. Pilgrimages are more than just a vacation. You dont have to leave home to go on pilgrimage.

22.01.2022 We are all looking for perfection in whatever we do. We like to have that experience of a perfect sunset, perfect relationships or trying to achieve perfection in different experiences. We may ask ourselves the question , where is the quest for perfection comes from. Why is it hard to find perfection in this world? In this talk we will explore this idea of Perfection.

21.01.2022 Circle of Friends - Kirtan in the Park

20.01.2022 20 minutes of meditation to add some bliss to your day

20.01.2022 Ingredients 3 and 1/2 cups Grated Zucchini (measured before squeezing out excess water) 1 tsp Salt 1/2 cup chickpea flour mixed with 1/2 cup water 1/2 cup Plain Flour... 1/4 cup Nutritional Yeast 1 and 1/2 tsp Baking Powder 1/2 tsp Crushed Garlic 2 T lemon juice 1 cup chopped dill or other herbs salt and pepper to taste 3 Tbsp Olive Oil (for frying) INSTRUCTIONS Grate the zucchini and then add it to a mixing bowl. Sprinkle over the salt and mix in. Then leave it for 10 minutes. The salt will help release the excess water from the zucchini. Then use your hands to squeeze the zucchini and drain off excess water. If you are in a rush, omit the salt water extraction and just squeeze away as much liquid as you can. Place the squeezed zucchini into another bowl and leave the water behind. Once the squeezed zucchini is in a fresh mixing bowl, add in the flour, nutritional yeast, baking powder, crushed garlic and chopped herbs and mix together. Preheat the oven to 150C and place some parchment paper over a grill rack on a baking tray. This is where you’ll place your fritters to keep them warm. Heat oil in pan and working quickly form small balls out of the dough. Press into neat circles and add to the pan. Use your spatula to press them down a little from the top and flatten. Depending on the size of your pan you can cook a few at a time. Cook over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes, until golden on the first side. Flip with the spatula, and cook for another 2-4 minutes on the second side. If the fritters are getting too brown, reduce heat to allow the centers of the fritters to cook more fully. Work in batches, you should be able to cook the mixture in two batches on the pan. then transfer your cooked fritters to the baking tray in the warmed oven to stay warm.

11.01.2022 These brownies were originally made with white sugar so they were a blonde colour, however because I used coconut sugar the colour is a deep golden brown, so probably more in line with their name. They are light delicious and tangy, great for morning or afternoon tea. Ingredients 2 cups all-purpose or whole wheat pastry flour... 1 1/2 cups coconut sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 4 scant teaspoon baking soda 4 tablespoons white vinegar 1/4 cup coconut yoghurt 6 Tablespoons vegetable oil (I use avocado oil) zest of 4 lemons 4 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice Glaze 1 cup icing sugar zest of 1 lemon about 2 to 4 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice Instructions Preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius Line a small square cake tin with baking paper Put all ingredients into a bowl. Stir by hand until smooth Spread batter in pan and bake for about 20 minutes until top of the cake springs back to place when pressed and a toothpick or sharp knife comes out clean when poked into the middle of the cake Cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes. Lift out of pan and spread glaze over warm brownies. Glaze Stir glaze ingredients together in a bowl, adding juice gradually until glaze is spreadable, you may not need all of it, you don’t want the glaze to be too runny

09.01.2022 About one hundred years ago, the famous author, Ernst Hemingway, in his quest for the answers to life, wrote about love, fear, and courage, in his book A Farewell to Arms which was set against the looming battlefields of WW1 as the Italian forces attempted to hold off Germany and Austria. Hemingway penned The world breaks everyone. It kills the very good, the very gentle, and the very brave, impartially. Unfortunately, he didn’t discover any answers, so where does that le...ave the reader? Nevertheless, thousands of years ago, just before an historical battle The Battle of Kurukshetra a famous dialogue took place between the Supreme Lord, Sri Krishna, and his friend Arjuna. In this dialogue Sri Krishna clearly, and unambiguously, answered the secrets of life. These answers are timeless keys for a happy life. Watch this Thoughtful Thursday and enrich your life with intention and grace.

05.01.2022 This rich and light mousse is so simple and easy to make and it’s healthy! You should get approximately 3/4 cup Aquafaba from each can of chickpeas. You can also use the liquid from white beans or any other beans for that matter. Place into a bowl with 1/4 cup fine coconut sugar (you can blend it if it isn’t fine when you buy it). Alternatively you can use icing sugar. Now whip with a hand held or upright electric beater for approx. 10 minutes or until the Aquafaba forms p...eaks and is very thick and stiff. Don’t worry you can’t overheat it, better to beat too long than not enough. Melt 125g vegan chocolate and wait until it cools down a little, you don’t want it to be too hot when you add it or it will break the Aquafaba down. Stir through well, spoon into cups and refrigerate until set about 1/2 hour Decorate with your favourite toppings

02.01.2022 Meditation to cultivate Insights We all need insights to solve our problems, but we can’t experience an insight just by the strength of our mind and intelligence. Instead of struggling in the muddy waters of the mind, endeavoring to find a solution to a problem, take your mind and immerse it in Transcendental Sound. When your mind tries to go back onto the problem, then gently bring it back to the comforting sounds. Then from this rested condition, a solution or decision wil...l arise from within, like a bubble of oxygen that naturally rises up from the mud on the bottom of a lake. And your problem, which previously seemed so insurmountable, will either burst into insignificance like that very same bubble, or at least you can see a clear path toward the solution. - Wisdom.yoga Mantras: Aum Hari Aum
