Aruna Ayurveda Cuisine ... Good and healthy meal and beverages: this issue brings us to grassroots of ancient Indian healing system Ayurveda. Improper diet and poor digestion are seen here as the main cause of disorder and disease. Eat tasty, be tasty? Principally, yes, it is true. But only in case we start again to learn what it is. Out taste and our appetite, beginning with our childhood, are spoiled by processed and unnatural food, starting from ready to eat baby canned and powdered meals and finishing with semiprepared, fast and “hip” eatable stuff. Consumption of this kind has become a habit and addiction.
The art of cooking: how to enjoy something which is good. It is possible to learn!
And nothing helps better during this learning process, than diving into the environment, where the authentic ayurveda is merged with consciously enjoyable pleasure. The Center for Authentic Ayurveda in Bad Feilnbach is vital example, that the successful integration of ayurvedic principles with our pleasant, convenient and modern middle european lifestyle is possible. But not only: it also could be, at the highest level, accomplished and refined with the exquisite vegetarian gastronomy. So, do not worry, but enjoy: while staying with us anyone is not onlycorrect, but also eats correct.
It is the mix that counts. Your stay at Aruna always begins with the doctor´s examination in order to determine your constitution in ayurvedic meaning of the word, the “doshas” (Ayurveda differs three main doshas). Each guest gets his personal treatments, therapies and massages, and, if prescribed, an individual diet. (Of course, along with doshas, the doctor takes into consideration all other parameter: your age, gender, state of health, as well as up to date season and weather.) As for diets, their healing affect starts with the quality of products. And each of the six flavours (“tasas”), distinguished by ayurveda, should be presented by each meal in proportion adjusted to the state of your health. Our food is mostly vegetarian and always totally fresh. We cook only 100% organic food, because we would like to treat you with the quality we cherish, and which some of our Sri Lankan collegues have enjoyed in their every day life at home. And this particular, extraordinary quality is maybe the only thing which makes difference between our food from that of a three stars restaurant. With the single remark: our food is by far healthier.
Excellence, also by cooking. The positivity as a position marks out also our cooking personal, sri lankans, as well as german natives. Because the happy feeling of harmony is important not only by serving, while contacting the guests, but also by cooking, while hidden in the kitchen. What our guests refer as luxury touch is, in fact, the result of our respect for the food, which nourishes us, supporting our lives; for the act of eating; for the body, which carries us through life and for the guests: for these hours, weeks or days, you share your lives with us.
Healthy eating also back in every day life. The time spent at Aruna Center for Authentic Ayurveda, and the way of learning a different lifestyle there, should help us while carried back home. Of course, ayurvedic cuisine is something new and unusual, but it is in the same time both: easy cooked and digestible. So, the idea: “why not to cook at home?” looks perfectly natural. And it is quite natural for our cooks to teach you in the time of specially designed and arranged cooking classes. But the goal is, that living your life according to Ayurveda guidelines, allows your body finally to teach us a lesson. As the great Greek Hippocrates (considered to be the founder of the medicine western type), has already taught us: “Let food be your medicine and the medicine your food”.
