Beyond Elements – Restaurant which touches the soul

There are a few people in the world who walk like a king and serve as a servant. One such man moved to Whitefield, Bangalore a few years ago and soon was flocked around with friends and admirers. In order to fulfill his strong desire to serve people, he started inviting his friends over to his home to celebrate and eat on every Thursday (the Guru Day). He would cook single-handed for dozens of people, and re-cook if more people showed up. His friends started saying that they were hungry for his food but hungrier for his love. They could not wait until Thursday and wanted to feel his love every day.

So, he joined hands with his buddies who were also enthusiastic about serving people, to create the same magic of love. The joint vision was to serve and unite people with love and joy. The best glue and formula for celebration and service is food prepared and served with love. And thus the ecstatic restaurant – “Beyond Elements” was born - https://g.co/kgs/EPRifs. As anything else in this world, food is also made of five elements – air, water, fire, earth, and ether. But here one can taste something beyond these five elements and that is love. Have you ever wondered why food prepared by mother tastes so much better? Does she use any special ingredient? Sure, she does. That special ingredient is love.

How many times do we meet someone in our life who is passionate about serving people! Here we have a bunch of them. None of these has a business background but they all are qualified Yoga and Meditation teachers. They are all successful in their corporate careers and have started a restaurant not only for financial gains but for something else. You have to visit the restaurant on the weekends to meet them in person and experience their courtesy yourself.

Wait a minute, did you read the restaurant is opened not only for financial gains? Yes, you very well did. Let's recall some of our age old ancient Vedic wisdom. Vajasaneya Samhita states that one shall not covet the wealth of others. While, the Vedic business ethics encourages and motivates to maximize wealth to take care of one’s necessities (Annam bahu kurveta! Tad vratam! - Taittiriya Upanishad iii-9), they also guide to earn wealth only through deeds of glory (Rig Veda Samhita vi-19-10). They advise taking care of wealth as well as welfare. (Bhutyai nappramaditavyam! Kusalanna pramaditavyam! - Taittiriya Upanishad i-11). The Vedas insist on proper distribution of wealth. Wealth earned by 100 hands has to be distributed to 1,000 hands (Atharva Veda Samhita iii-24-5). Beyond Elements serves you high-quality food which never compromises with your health and wallet. Each customer sitting on the table is a family member and gets that kind of care. The food taste, quality, ambiance, and service – all set a perfect example of a glorious restaurant. A substantial part of the earnings is donated to various social welfare projects by Beyond Elements. Also, Beyond Elements hosts tons of programs for uplifting youth, book launches, kindle intuition for kids, homas, chanting, which adds on the positivity of the environment.

In this land of Rishi (saints) and Krishi (agriculture), we have always been taught to fold our hands and pray before eating food.

Those who are providing me with this food, let them be happy.

Apart from expressing our gratitude, the mantra has a deeper meaning as well - The state of mind of the cooks and the servers is absorbed into the food and eventually gets into our system. This is exactly why food prepared by our dear mothers is so delicious. While we cannot have everyone's mother cooking in the restaurant, we can definitely have a team of calm, serene and happy chefs and servers in the restaurant. It is such a delight to know that the staff here in Beyond Elements, are also regular meditators and joyfully serve a happy treat for your tummies.

Along with using high-quality food materials, Beyond Elements does not stay behind in the method of preparation as well. Aside from cooking your food over an open fire, it doesn’t get more primal than a traditional wood-fired oven. If you have ever experienced pizza cooked in a wood fired oven, you have undoubtedly noticed a significant taste difference. In addition, cooking pizza wood imparts a unique, smoky, flavor that is impossible to replicate with a traditional home oven. A wood-fired oven cooks vegetables and fruits very quickly and helps them retain specific nutrients and antioxidants.

The guilt-free tasty and healthy preparations are endless. Consciously chosen wheat based pizzas and plates of pasta are a delicious treat for the whole family. After all, how many places do we have in Whitefield where we can feed our kids healthy as well as delicious food?

For all the foodies out there, Beyond Elements also offers a special platter which is a mix of five lip smacking tandoori starters including tandoori fruits such as pineapple which are an absolute treat to the tongue.

Hariyali paneer tikka is yet another starter prepared over charcoal tandoor with a deliciously discernible flavor.

For all those health conscious people in town, who are always on a hunt to find tasty salads, the search has come to an end. Beyond Elements offers a variety of continental salads which will nourish your taste buds as well as the health freak mind.

A perfect dining out experience is not complete if we leave out the ambiance part of it. When we go out to eat we would love to be in a lively fresh environment. Beyond Elements have that perfect environment waiting for you with its fresh vibrant interiors as well as fresh open air sit out looking the skyline of the lovely city Bangalore. It is a perfect place for a party as well as for a private set up.

So, next time you are planning to eat out, search no further. Give yourself a happy treat and experience the courteous and gracious dine out at Beyond Elements - http://www.facebook.com/BeyondElements.
