I remember Swami mentioning about it very casually, "It can be some quotes on yoga and salads''. I thought if I am able to put this together, it will be uselful for many meditators in the coming years who take up this sadhana. And thus popped the idea in my head to create 100 vegan salads which will not have any negative pranic ingredients ( like onion, garlic, chillies and hing) At then I knew I had around 120 days to prepare for the sadhana which would be on 8th March 2019, so 100salads should be doable.

If u scroll down to my first few salads, you would find the hashtag #sayno2 #slicedcucmber #slicedcarrot. So my last salad is a tribute to the very old saathi of our our sliced veggies or Green salad whom we all have toatlly accepted as the ULTIMATE TRUTH 😅😅 I will end my pact still saying 'Healthy need not be boring' . . . • Boil chickepeas and grind it along with soaked white seaseame, white pepper, salt and limejuice. Add extra virgin olive oil to it. The smooth paste can be used as a sandwich spread or in salads n dips. • I add hummus to cut cucmber, carrot and radish and garnished with some chopped coriander and pomogrante seeds.😊 #100saladpact #Veganrecipes #Salads #Sadhguru #Samyama #Isha #Food #vegetarianfood #saladrecipe #tasteofwellbeing #easyrecipes #instapic #yoga #classic #Sadhana #socialmediadiary #foodsofinstagram

Well, one amongest the last salads of the pact had to be filling, nutritious and chatpata.

Must try version 😊 . . • Toss finely chopped snakegourd, cucumber, pineapple, fresh coriander and chaat masala along with some crushed plain or jeera khakra. • As simple delicious and healthy as it gets. Have a feeling many gourmet restaurants will pick up this recipe and make it their own.😊 #100saladpact #Veganrecipes #Salads #Sadhguru #Samyama #Isha #Food #Fruits #vegetarianfood #saladrecipe #foodlovers #tasteofwellbeing #Health #easyrecipes #instapic #goodfood #yoga #classic #Sadhana #socialmediadiary #foodsofinstagram

Though summer has totally not got into its play, I made this salad for the coming time considering how hot its going to be and with salads like these how wonderfully we can nourish body with veggies others than cucumber. Ashgourd or safed kaddu is 90% water and tops the list of positive pranic food. Enjoy this one when the heat is at its peak . . . • Chop finely ashgourd , cucumber and toss with lots of black pepper.  • Add chopped watermelon and pomogrante seed.  • Add black salt in the end or else it will become a salad soup. Anyways enjoy the leftover juice too once u eat the salad.
