Foods are a blessing of the nature to human beings! We are alive today has only one reason that we have foods and water to drink!!"
Yajyam is a holy ritual according to the Ancient Indian Sciences. In this one offers the particular herbs, Ghee and all other necessary needs for life to fire. By offering these items, one shows the gratitude of him towards the natural powers for this entire beautiful world and all the need full things available with the nature. Same we do while eating the foods. We offer the foods and drinks along with all the nutritive materials to the internal fire, known as Jatharaagni, for our vitality. But most of the times, we eat just to fill our tummy and for taste. Foods are the best planning of the nature to give us the vitality. We should say thanks to the God, to the Mother Nature for all this, which give us life and strength to live.
So before eating the food, don't forget to say thanks to the almighty powers for all that you are consuming to live. Actually while eating something we sacrifice a life, whether it is a plant or an animal. We should be thankful to that food to sacrifice its life for us.
