Shivabalayogi Cooking Pullao

Bangalore Ashram, 1994

Shivabalayogi enjoyed cooking and feeding devotees. In this video, we see Swamiji cooking pullao, a rice & vegetable dish, in his personal puja room, then the finished dish being served in his private darshan room.

Typically on Sundays, Swamiji would cook a dish to be shared with the devotees staying at the ashram. He never followed a recipe, but he was very particular. His dishes were prasad (blessed food), and they always tasted better than anyone could reproduce.

This video was recorded in 1994, not long before Swamiji’s mahasamadhi.
