Olivedale -1

 

The fun of walking in an unknown place in the dark  is Unique. Probably, because of the journey with Guru Premangee, 

I was feeling like a happy and satisfied person.

We climbed the hill and knocked on the door of the wooden building. A tall man opened the door. Fair-skinned as like a European with a bushy beard and hair, He was in a yellow jacket and red trousers. Touching the fire, we entered. There was a tradition that a person should touch the fire when entering house.

Guru: 'He is Viraj ji'

A wonderful Guy. In a few moments, we became like friends who already knew each other.

Biraj raised the issue of Organic.

A white woman and a beautiful baby boy entered . Biraj introduced us to them. She was the wife of Biraj and the smart boy was his son, Shiva. Very funny and responsive. Liked to play with people. Seeing the smiling face of his child, the rained of happiness was evident on Biraj's face. The joy of children is the happiness of life. I felt, the couple was drawing a map of their son. Every parent is an engineer of their child, they are designing. It is a joy for parents to be involved in building a child's life.

Guru Premangee's presence made Biraj excited.

He took permission while drinking, pramangee accepted with a Smile. Patience is an important quality in the journey of spiritual life.

The matter of food was going on.

 Guru: 'We are losing our food base. Now it’s time for us to be careful. ’As the conversation went on, I asked Biraj’s age. He was more than 40 plus,……… surprised.

The topic was food security, non-organic food.

Guru added, "I am not ready to accept the disappearance of grain. People don't have to starve anywhere. For example, in Darjeeling, the production of potatoes is more, then, we have to consumes  more potatoes .  Food should be eaten according to the place. But today, hunger also seeks a level. Hunger seeks noodles and thirst seeks cold drinks. '

"We have despised the soil. We are making excessive use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides in the name of producing more in the soil. Which is harmful to our health. Because of this toxin, 80 percent of the people are infected with some form of disease. About 20 percent are found to be chronically ill. Diseases like cancer, diabetes, heart disease, kidney and stroke are  products of poison,  '

While listening to this, I visualized the dining table with decorated food. I had a general memory.  The taste of water stored in the soil pot. Felt the taste of Traditionally made MAHI.

I am interested traditional lunch restaurant. Do people eat items like roasted Maka,/batanas, and pickles of Gundruk  in restaurants, or not?  People is attracted to things like organic, yoga, Ayurveda, naturopathy, meditation, nature walk. Why not in the case of food? Sometimes I wonder if a brand will be formed.

Ah, guru was also saying that, it is better to eat shakhar instead of sugar. Bira Nun instead of white salt. We have a good choice. Nowadays, people have also become conscious. Health is the first priority. On the one hand, the development -of-the technology is taking an unexpected leap. On the other hand, the attraction of using the things used by the ancestors is also increasing.

but Some things we have lost for forever. Is it difficult to get it again? For example, the varieties of rice Kasturi, Dhaiya, Kala Nimak, Dhyukumari, Krishnabhog and Gamdi found in Nepal . It seems strange that such a small country Nepal had 2,000 varieties of rice.

However, we are getting a positive message. I have no argument against the Guru's thought that we should be satisfied with what we have.

It was already 12 AM. Kesh Ragi was sleeping in the chair.

So we moved to the second floor of that wooden house.

It was a very beautiful bed. We were tired of walking around Darjeeling. So we went to sleep as soon as we found the bed.
