According to our western understanding, food is the physical source of nourishment for our physical body. It supplies us with vitamins and minerals that support our physiological functioning in the world, so that we can live a long, happy and healthy life. According to the Yoga Tradition, food is consciousness which is offered to Agni, the fire of digestion, in our body which supplies us with and nourishes us with the divine Life Force, enabling us to fulfill our spiritual purpose in this Universe.
