At our home we follow a Family culture of being ultra-Vegetarians on Saturdays.
I never understood the logic as a child as I never questioned or thought about it deep enough. As to why all members at our home as well as our relatives need to be purely vegetarian(Plant+Dairy Based Diet) on Saturdays. I may remember the words of my parents telling me it’s a spiritual day dedicated to Lord Vishnu and we need to visit a Vishnu temple for prayers on this day. Also as our community our grandparents and relatives are Vaishnavas by lineage we need to follow this strictly.
And another Satvik influence in a strange coincidence is I studied and was encouraged in a satvik way at a protestant Seventh Day Adventist School(Saturday-Sabbath)of Bengaluru. Where I heard teachers promote benefit of vegetarianism also we had a speech contest in which I spoke (With mentoring from a beloved teacher Mr.Singh K Anthony Sir(Maldives), He saw something in me which I nor anyone in my circle did. Sir thank you for your coaching you were the best Bio-Science Teacher). He mentored my speech on the topic is “Vegetarianism a boon or bane”. I did lil research on the topic with my parents(Docs) as well as wrote a note which SingK sir upgraded. I won the second best speech on my debut extempore on stage it was a pleasure to win. Also won an Essay Writing Contest in the same Temperance Contest.
Its pleasing to have these trophies on shelf at home as encouragement to Speak and Write.
I was encouraged to follow veganism by Runner Arun @IISc also by my laughter yogaTherapy colleagues Tiffany Floyd(Indiana-US) and Inna(Frankfurt Gmny).
So I believe I’m at my Satvik Best on Satvik Saturdays. As my energies are focused on spiritual satisfaction.
By following spiritual Saturdays, helps me being a Veganish Reducetarian on weekdays and on some Saturdays even going on a one meal fast.

Saturday is the day for sattva,
Satvik is the way for saturation,
Practicing it we know the mehatva,
Stoic is the way of satisfaction.
This Day (26/12/20) I hereby launch a new idea to improve the satvicness of my life by promoting #SatvicSaturdays. To know more do read my PRASADH health Model Post.
9/1/21(Sat) Yesterday saw the trailer of a kannada movie KGF2.. and 3 weeks back while riding bike as I crossed Swami vivekananda metro station I had a thought on a dialogue from the movie “Powerful people come from powerful places”. I had a question so what about powerful places? Where does it come from rather who creates it. Then I related that powerful places are created by powerful people. This is exactly what I heard yesterday in the trailer.
And I dared to question a step further how are powerful people created or what creates powerful people? I got an answer its Powerful Principles that create Powerful people first internally which manifests externally.
What are the principles and values that define you my dear G-der.
The values which I want to define with self are Genuineity, Rationality & Prosperity(GRP).
GRP.
