Fitness & Nutrition Tips

The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CPSI) ranks the sweet potato as the No. 1 most-nutritional vegetable and rated it significantly higher in nutrients than the Idaho potato, spinach, or broccoli.
One medium sweet potato provides about 130 calories and 3.9 grams of dietary fiber and is virtually fat-free.

Breakfast Tip

Use fresh fruit in Oatmeal Breakfast vs. Raisins. One little box of raisins contains a full daily amount of sugar recommended.

Festival of Lights

Festival of Lights, Spanish Fork, Utah

Sri Sri Radha Krishna Temple

Classical and folk dancing, live music, dramas, a ceremony of lights, a huge vegetarian feast, and an offering of respect to a live cow.

The Festival of Lights occurs during the lull between fall harvests and the onset of the monsoons. Thus it is a time of thanksgiving, and that corollary festival is called Anna Kuta (literally meaning “heaps of food”). Lord Krishna inaugurated this festival by inspiring the inhabitants of His village (Vrndavan) to worship the cows on this one day per year and to prepare a huge celebratory feast consisting of no less than 108 preparations.

Guests are encouraged to prepare vegetarian dishes at home (without onions or garlic) and bring them to the temple to augment the devotional offerings. Optionally, one could bring fruits or flowers.
