About Food Yoga

Paul Rodney Turner (aka Priyavrata das) is the international director of Food Yoga International, formerly known as Food for Life Global, the world’s largest plant-based food relief with projects in over 50 countries, has been conducting workshops on FOOD YOGA throughout the world. The workshops are based on his new book, FOOD YOGA – Nourishing Body, Mind & Soul

FOOD YOGA – Nourishing Body, Mind & Soul is a completely new approach to holistic living.

Until now, literature on healthy living and nutrition has primarily focused on the mechanics of health and happiness. This approach has often alienated many individuals by promoting philosophies and plans that don’t resonate with everyone. Despite the abundance of research and literature, there remains no consensus on the best diet or lifestyle. Importantly, these works overlook a fundamental truth that unites us all: our constitutional nature is spiritual, and we are all spiritually equal. Therefore, any healthy living program must address the nutritional needs of the body, mind, and spirit.

As a result, despite volumes of literature and research, there is no consensus on what diet or mode of living is best. What they have all failed to identify is one underlying truth that connects us all and from which all health plans can be reconciled and/or elevated to their ultimate stature. That truth is: our constitutional nature is spirit, and we are all spiritually equal. Any healthy living program, therefore, needs to address the “nutritional” needs of body, mind, and spirit.

Turner invites readers to explore higher concepts of self-worth, shifting away from the selfish ideals of impersonal consumerism. This book promotes a philosophy of grateful, interdependent spirituality, asserting that health and happiness are not exclusive to a select few but are attainable by everyone. Through this lens, readers can appreciate how food choices impact their overall well-being and interconnectedness with others.

The book aims to encourage the reader to start making food part of their daily spiritual ritual. Turner has attempted to make the presentation as non-sectarian as possible, without losing the integrity of the message. The book covers a wide range of topics related to food with the aim of making people think more deeply about their food choices and how important food is to their spiritual development. The book leads the reader along a path of becoming more aware of the divine nature of food to the point where they are then introduced to what he calls The FOOD OFFERING MEDITATION, which summarizes the lessons learned along the way and serves to put them in the right frame of mind to transform their eating into a spiritual experience.

The book is a result of teaching Food Yoga at vegetarian conferences around the world for the last 15 years. Based on the positive responses from his seminars, he feels strongly that the public is ready to embrace the new paradigm of FOOD YOGA and this book will provide the unbiased guidance they need.
