Ten delicious vegetarian recipes

 
 
For keeping ourselves healthy, strong and pure, we need to have a varied, natural, simple and healthy diet. The food we eat remains within our bodies, more or less transformed, in each of our cells, having an impact not only on our vitality and state of health but also on our way of thinking and on our spiritual experiences. In the yogi perspective, a balanced lacto-vegetarian diet induces a state of excellent health, while also generating a complex harmonious experience in our psyche.
