The food that one eats has to be pure, free from the subtle evils radiated by the persons who collect the materials, who cook the dishes and who serve them – BABA
The Dormitory Cooking project, started in 2011, served 500 meals cooked on-site at a migrant workers’ dormitory by Sai volunteers each month. It was a wonderful experience for the volunteers, working together to lovingly prepare a pure and wholesome vegetarian meal.
Migrant workers are critical to building infrastructure in Singapore. They work long hours, under tough conditions and live in special dormitories. They generally cook their own basic meals.
This volunteer project involved tremendous teamwork. During the cooking process, bhajans kept playing in the background. The seva has been suspended due to changes in the dormitories’ policies.
