Vegan Cooking: The Revenge


This past Tuesday, the Vegan Cooking Workshop, the ecstatic prasadam/preaching programs courtesy of the New Vrindaban Brahmacari Ashram, centered in the lovely villa of Athens, Ohio, home of Ohio University, got off and running.

Now in its fifth year, this program feeds over 100 students a week the pure goodness of home-cooked prasad, made by the artistic chef-dom of HG Balarama Chandra Prabhu. The whole experience is augmented this year by the fact that we have our own house in town.

On the outside it may look a little dingy, but on the inside a wonderful devotional atmosphere permeates. Instead of the stale smell of day-old beer, incense and the vibration of the Holy Name resounds. It is a true oasis in the middle of the typical realm of student-emanated passions and desires.

Here are some photographic highlights of the first week.
