Kaivalyadhama, a renowned institution for Yoga and holistic health, successfully hosted a national conference on Sattvic Ahaar in Mumbai. The conference brought together leading experts in holistic health, Yoga, Naturopathy, Ayurveda, and modern nutrition to discuss the transformative power of Sattvic food principles. The conference was inaugurated by Padma Awardee Chef Sanjeev Kapoor and BMC Commissioner Bhushan Gagrani, IAS.

Chef Sanjeev Kapoor emphasised the importance of home-cooked meals, urging delegates to eat local, seasonal and fresh food in moderation. BMC Commissioner, Gagrani highlighted the fact that we are what we eat and how food can be our medicine. 

The conference delved into the science behind Sattvic nutrition, exploring its profound impact on mental and emotional well-being. Derived from ancient teachings of Yoga, Naturopathy, and Ayurveda, a Sattvic diet emphasises natural, wholesome, and plant-based foods that promote purity and calmness in the mind and body. 

The conference featured keynote speeches and panel discussions on topics such as “Sattvic Ahaar in Modern Times” and “Sattvic Ahaar and Mental Health” by experts like Dr Kushan Shah, Dr Harish Shetty, Tejinder Singh Sabarwal, Deepali Mehta, Dimple Jangda, Dr Santosh Pandey and Dr Gayatri Gohil. 

A unique feature of the conference was “Yogi Chef” – a sattvic cooking contest which saw enthusiastic participation with innovative healthy recipes judged by Chef Kaviraj. The afternoon was energized by a laughter riot by Dr Mukesh Gautam, a renowned Kavi and stand-up artist.
