Pre-spring 7 day Mono-Diet
Pre-Spring, (March 15th-April 15th) Raisins and Saffron are soaked overnight and as the rice is cooking you can blanch the almonds by soaking them in water and removing the skins, pinching the large end and popping them off.
Then you simply sauté all the ingredients in the ghee or olive oil and serve with yogurt. In the lecture, Yogi Bhajan did not specify the proportions, but for our test batch we used 3/4 cup raisins, 3/4 cup almonds, 1/8th teaspoon saffron, and two cups of cooked rice and it seemed like the proper balance. We used 2 tablespoons of ghee to sauté the ingredients.
The ideal time to eat this dish is any seven day period during what Yogi Bhajan refers to as Pre-Spring, anytime between March 15h to April 15th. Seven days only! You must also only drink lemon water during this mono diet, not straight water.
This pre-spring, early spring, is a time when the entire body renews itself and this diet is perfect for assisting with that process. It gives tremendous stamina and flexibility. It will revive your entire system. It is also an ideal diet to "achieve engagement" with the 6th Chakra, the Ajna (third eye point, essential for deep meditation and powerful intuition).
