Yogiji 愛做菜( Yogiji Loved to Cook )

加利福尼亞州聖地亞哥修道院,1989年4月


Yogiji Love to cook 由 Soorya Kaur(Yogi Bhajan的工作人員)分享,分享了這張照片和這些話,寫於 2005 年,寫於她的《YogiJi – 我們的靈魂之光》一書的第 69 頁。


像大多數旁遮普人一樣,Yogiji 喜歡吃。 他喜歡餵人,他從不一個人吃飯。 在他面前,人們不能使用「 我快餓死了」這種表達方式。 「 你沒有捱餓」,他立即反覦,「你只是餓了!」 Yogiji 喜歡烹飪和創造他非常不尋常的、個性化的健康美食。 他會使用廚房裡的所有東西,不介意浪費任何東西,也從不遵循食譜! 他用了很多草藥和香料、大蒜、生薑、洋蔥、堅果。 廚房裡的每個抽屜都被開啟了,幾乎每個餐具和勺子都被使用了。 我們經常對吃他的混合物猶豫不決,因為它們看起來與我們吃過的任何其他食物都不同。但總是讓我們驚訝的是,它總是很美味! 他親自為每個人服務。

Soorya Kaur 與 Yogi Bhajan 在一起的日子


我想感謝神賜予我很多很多的祝福,特別是感謝我的好朋友 Neesha Singh。 如果沒有她的編輯和寫作技巧,以及與生俱來的攝影覺察,我永遠不會完成這本書。 我們建立了一種夥伴關係,在極短的時間內使這本書成為現實。 


當我在研究這本書要怎麼寫的時,我的照片(我總是試圖讓他為我微笑)讓我在這裡與你分享這些親密的回憶,開啟了閘門。 如果我可以謙虛地說,我不認為這是「 我的書 」,因為 Guru Ram Das 和 Yogiji 看透了我,這本書有它自己的生命。 


很難決定是Guru Ram Das 接納了 Yogiji 還是 Yogiji 接納了 Guru Ram Das 每天早上,當 Yogiji 在印度阿姆利則金廟進行 Seva(無私服務)清洗地板時,他都會聽到 Guru Ram Das 的 Bani(祈禱)。 在此期間,他被一次奇蹟式的靈性提升經歷所啟迪,他與Guru Ram Das的連結將永遠被封印。 Guru Ram Das 成為他和我們的贊助者古魯大師。 我們被教導要呼喚他來承擔我們的痛苦、解決我們的問題、在我們身邊,在需要時創造奇蹟,而古魯總是交付予我們。






San Diego, California Ashram, April 1989

Yogiji loved to cook was shared by Soorya Kaur (staff member of Yogi Bhajan) shared this photo and these words on page 69 of her book YogiJi – The Light of Our Souls, written in 2005

Like most Punjabis, Yogiji loved to eat. He enjoyed feeding people and never ate alone. In his presence, one could not use the expression, “I am starving”. “You are not starving”, would be his prompt retort, “you are hungry!”

Yogiji loved to cook and create his highly unusual, individualized versions of healthy cuisine. He would use everything available in the kitchen, wasn’t happy about wasting anything, and never followed a recipe! He used a lot of herbs and spices, garlic, ginger, onions, nuts. Every drawer in the kitchen was opened, and practically every utensil and ladle got used. We were often hesitant to eat his concoctions because they looked different from any other food we had eaten. It invariably surprised us that it was always delicious! He served each person himself.

Soorya Kaur Blessings

I wish to thank God for many, many blessings, but in particular, for my good friend Neesha Singh.  I could never have done this book without her editing and writing skills, and innate sense for photography.  We forged a partnership that made this book a reality in an extremely short period of time.

While I was working on the idea of this book, my pictures (I always attempted to make him smile for me) opened a floodgate of the intimate memories that I share here with you.  If I may humbly say this, I don’t think of this as “my book” because Guru Ram Das and Yogiji saw me through it, and it took on a life of its own.

It is difficult to decide whether Guru Ram Das adopted Yogiji or Yogiji adopted Guru Ram Das.  Every morning as he performed Seva (selfless service) washing the floors of the Golden Temple in Amritsar, India, Yogiji heard Guru Ram Das’ Bani (prayers).  During this period, he was enlightened by a miraculous spiritually elevating experience, and his bond with Guru Ram Das was sealed forever.  Guru Ram Das became his and our patron Guru.  We learn to call upon him to take our pain, to sort out our problems, to be there for us, to produce a miracle when needed, and he always delivered.
