Before the meal we heard Swami Ambikananda Saraswati speak. Her talk began with an explanation of the importance of eating together and sharing a meal in the Indian culture. She advised us how best to enjoy a meal by approaching it stress free and with our bodies relaxed and ready to enjoy the experience. This she did through a series of breathing exercises in which we all participated.
