Guest guest Posted December 27, 1999 Report Share Posted December 27, 1999 >From "Glimpses of Traditional Indian Life," by HH Bhakti Vikas Swami [Ramanujam Ranganathan tells of his boyhood in Tamil Nadu...and daily rites in the brahmana quarters of his village's Visnu temple.] RR: Taking food together was an important part of our life. It was not like in the West, where someone comes home and just fixes himself something from the fridge. For example, no lady would eat until after her husband had taken. Eating was a family event. There are still joint families where fifty or sixty people sit down at a certain time to eat together. (GOTIL, p131) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
