HIS ESSENCE…
HIS ESSENCE…
First i saw his eyes….
And in his eyes i saw his Essence..
The warmth that I longed for flowed into my heart
The purity of his Essence filled my eyes with tears
In his eyes i saw the reflection of his dazzling Essence,
My eyes dazzled…..
Then i heard his words coming from the depths of his heart,
The Essence in his words touched the innermost chambers of my heart….
My soul with LONGING bowed to his Essence…
My hearth embraced the Essence overflowing from his words….
My spirit was overjoyed and joined his soul high above….
The day became luminous, as if the sun rose upon us….
Together we glowed up above…..
Whenever I miss the essence in Your eyes…
Whenever my heart shivers with the essence in Your words…
My eyes close, my soul hastens to that glowing moment…
Again my soul with longing bows to Your soul, at that brightest moment of my dreams…
And words flow from my mouth, with the full power of my essence;
“Jaya Srila Guru deva ki Jaya….”

Wellcome!
We restorated a village house, which is 450 years old, for four years as an ashram. It is 1300 mt high on the Taurus mountains. Srila Gurudeva named this ashram as Sridhar Seva Ashram. Mahananda Prabhu who is living at Nabadwip Ashram, advised us to add Govinda to the name of the ashram also. This magic place is surrounded by a very big garden.
Awakening with a various types of birds singing like partridges, nightingales and the bells of the herd on the dawn , you can fill up yourself the fresh air of the mountains.
On this natural circumstances, you feel the ashram life that fills your mind & spirit with the positive energy.
We usually do kirttan on the wooden veranda’s of the ashram which sees all the valley. Also there are a lot of tracking paths on the mountains near the ashram which you can feel the nature for japa meditation.

PREPARING GHEE (PURE BUTTER)
PREPARING GHEE (PURE BUTTER)
Ghee is a healthy alternative to butter and oils. Ghee is an ingredient in many Middle Eastern dishes. It is also called clarified butter. It is available at natural foods and Indian product stores or you can prepare the ghee yourself. Is an unsalted butter that has been cooked to remove not only its butter fat solids, as in drawn butter, but also all water — so as to produce a food that contains no molecular oxygen, and is thus extremely storable and not subject to rancidity as in normal cooking oils. The health advantages accrue from the fact that ghee contains no oxidized cholesterol, the kind which leads to free radical damage in the cells of the body. Ingredients
•1 kg unsalted butter
•cheesecloth
Directions
1.1
Heat unsalted butter in a stainless steel, thick-bottomed sauce pan, over a low-medium flame.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THE WORLD: COOKING!
In the first years of my marriage I did not like cooking a lot. I left home very early to go to the work and came back very late. I only cook on Sundays and put them into the deep freeze. And we ate those foods all week. But we did not realize that in deed we were eating garbage : ) (more…)
