  • Food in ancient Indian philosophy
    Škof, Lenart
    In the ancient Indian philosophical traditions, we learn about the interconnectedness of everything. Food as an element has a deep philosophical as well as ethical relevance in the Vedic thought. It ... is both a material and spiritual substance of the world. Ancient Indian philosophy of the Upanishads closely relates food to breath. They both are of a vital importance for the life of a cosmos as well as of an individual. The Upanishadic teaching of the elements of food and breath suggests that "all this" (idam sarvam) subsists on a hidden metaphysical and empirical reserve of food in us. Food is the foremost of beings, as attested in verses from the TU II. Finally, food is also related to the emergence of hospitality in ourselves which, ritually and ethically, reveals as a vehicle of preserving life of the cosmos and life of all of the worldly creatures. It is in this hospitality that a sacrificial and sacred gift of peace can be revealed
