5. Spirituality in Diet or the Tama of Food
By ChicSwamy
Spirituality in Diet (or) The Tama of Food
There is a worldwide debate on agreeing the terms of spirituality involved with diet.
This article tries to provide an insight into these discussions.
The 3 subtle components of universe are Sattva, Raja and Tama and these
come out with significance through our diet.
Sattva characterises purity and knowledge; Raja characterises action and passion and
Tama signifies Ignorance and inertia.
A study conducted by 'Spiritual Science Research Foundation'
revealed the components presence in food as:
The reason for the increased Tama in meat after the animal dies is because
of the extent of suffering when it is being killed.
Also the thoughts of anger and revenge in the animal are far more pronounced
as compared to a plant which has a rudimentary mind and intellect.
Whatever may be the method of slaughtering involved it causes
considerable effect. May be this is why certain religions practice offering prayers
to god before slaughtering.
The Tama in meat also varies depending on the way the meat is cooked.
The Tama reduces significantly from raw meat to well cooked meat
(The meat is completely cooked on the inside as well as outside).
There is also a completely scientific explanation relating to difference in digestion
process of veg and non-veg foods.
As non-veg foods don't have high fibre content in them,
the bowel transit time is much longer
and this also supplements increase in acidity level of the bowel.
Thus, our own digestive system is being harmed in the process of digesting
non-veg foods which again add to the tama component.
Will it be possible to reduce tama by turning into a vegan? Yes.
But it is possible over a span of 10-15 years based on the way he follows veganism
and he carries out physical activities.
It has been found out that spiritual activities can also help in achieving this faster.
What so ever the case may be, chicken is always finger licking good…

6. RESTAURANT REVIEW
CHOPSTICK, KK. NAGAR
Hotel Chopstix located in
KK Nagar is one of the hotels of fantasy foods
Group of Immanuel Devaram. Earlier we had
reviewed Hotel milagu which is also part of
Fantasy foods Group.
It was a rainy night and myself and Adityan decided
to try this restaurant and after a long drive (nearly
13kms from TSM )we reached the Hotel by 8pm.
SERVICESCAPE
Feel at Home ambience, Wooden
chairs, fully air conditioned and
approximately 40 seat capacity

7. CHOPSTICK, KK. NAGAR...contd
As we entered the hotel we encountered a rack of
Bibles as a free takeaway for customers.
The waiter guided us in table selection and we were
provided with menu card for making orders.
As the chopstix restaurant has identified itself as
Multi cuisine restaurant the items in the menu were
ranging from Soups, Starters , Rice, Noodles, Lamb,
Fish, Chicken, etc.
We ordered Lung-Fung soup, Egg fried rice and
Chicken Blast which was labeled as Chopstix Delight.
CHICKEN BLAST
Chicken Blast has some silky red chicken pieces
covered with a mixture of Corn, capsicum and
Cabbage salad with a flower
shaped carrot on TOP.

8. Shredded Chicken in
Barbeque Sauce
This marinated spicy
chicken is another must
try chicken at Chopstix.
It consists of long slender chicken pieces immersed
in a barbeque sauce. The sauce was spicy enough
to make your noses rain.
The egg rice served in a bowl was ample enough
to fill our stomach. However we could not comment
on the totality of Hotel since it was our first visit and
tried very few items on the menu we would
recommend the readers to make their own ratings
after visiting the Hotel once.

9. Happy Birthday Prathusha
October 9th, 2013
It was pratusha’s birthday and to
celebrate her janam din, she hosted
a special feast for her team members
of
Development immersion Program at
Madurai Anjappar chettinad near
Mattudhavani Bus Stand.
During the course of treat Pratusha witnessed the bitter moment of truth.
Her longtime belief that her friends were homo-sapiens and belong to
mother earth was
thwarted and the following images from NASA
proved they were hardcore aliens who predate on
chicken, crab, fish
without any mercy.
Some of the images in the following page is not suitable for.
Children below 12 years. Faint hearted readers
are advised to take appropriate preventive measures
before watching.

11. Mukesh Ambani forays into chicken business,
to take on KFC
MUMBAI: Mukesh Ambani-controlled Reliance Industries plans
to run an exclusive chicken restaurant chain in India in
partnership with a UK-based company as he seeks a bite of the
quick service restaurant (QSR) pie, which is pegged to grow at
30% per annum.
Given that Ambani is a strict vegetarian, it is a clear sign that
business decisions can be separated from an individual's
dietary and lifestyle choices.
The chain, to be called 'Chicken came First' will directly
compete with KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken), the world's most
popular chicken restaurant chain.
RIL has picked up a 45% equity stake in Two Sisters Foods
India (TSFI), which belongs to 2 Sisters Food Group (2SFG).
2SFG, the third largest food company in UK, supplies poultry,
red meat, fish, and bakery and chilled/frozen products to the
retail, food service and food manufacturing sectors.
