- At the international headquarters of the Brahma Kumaris in Mount Abu, Rajasthan, India, thousands of volunteers work around the clock to feed 40,000 people. And since the 1990s, the kitchen has relied on concentrated solar power to generate steam and cook most of these meals.
We visited the headquarters during a special holiday known as Baba Milan to see how the volunteers prepare these meals in such big batches.

How 40,000 People Are Fed Daily During Baba Milan in Rajasthan, India | Big Batches | Insider Food
I'm obsessed with these mega kitchens and the volunteers of India's festivals. Obsessed.
Thnx brother
they feel a need to bring hinduism into everythng ...
@@M3ganwillslay it's an ancient tradition in temples where food or prasad is considered to be akin to bread & wine offered during catholic mass . There's the connection.
In ancient times people also travelled great distances on foot to make pilgrimage surviving on alms along the way dependant on people's goodwill for pilgrims where the fare one received along the way wasn't always filling .
@@ic9771 brahmins dont allow dalits there .. fyi .. go learn about hindu varna ... dalits are not hindoos
Try getting a volunteer in America today. They just wait for a welfare check
These temple foods are hygenic and healthy. During my college days me and friends went for a 7 day north Indian trip and solely survived eating the food from the temples enroute. Saved money and health❤
good for mental well-being
Loving this, from Ireland. 🇮🇪🇮🇳
As an Indian, thank you for covering this in your feature. Would add a few things to help other viewers -
1. The food prepared is as part of 'prasad' at a Hindu religious place, and it says it follows satvik rules. That means it will be only veg, and they'll not use onion, garlic in the food. And some other restrictions too on which lentils can be used.
2. To help with the lack of garlic, a lot of asafoetida is used. It is also usually used more in Rajasthani cuisines. Helps with digestion too.
3. The other flatbread they made is called Thepla. It is like Paratha but instead of a stuffing, the masala and flavour agents are added directly to the flour. They are way thinner than a paratha. Methi (Fenugreek leaves) theplas are the most popular.
4. And lastly, rotis are not supposed to be crispy 😁. Rotis or chapatis should be soft and light.
We call asafoetida, Hingu.
Veg, not non veg
@@sunisbeautiful8695 thanks for that. Have corrected it.
May I ask why not garlic nor onions? Just genuinely curious
@@lukasvymyslicky1646 In Hinduism Garlic and Onions are considered Non veg.
Proud of the Sanatan culture where millions of people are fed everyday via network of temples and Gurudwaras.
Also, in addition to humans, households cook extra food / chapatis to even feed community animals such as dogs, cows and birds.
So true❤🙏
Brahma kumaris is a bogus group once you get to know it.
Did you know that Rangolis and Kolams which we today draw with crushed stone powders was actually made with rice snd lentil powders so that birds could feed on it.
I just found out tht our ancestors did that 😭 they were so considerate.
The great hindu civilisation 🙏🏻💖🥹
@@NoRiceToEat what could we do now? We new generation only can change it.
@@NoRiceToEat I didn't knew about it, thanks for the info ❤️
Indians come together like no other culture. This is beautiful.
Because we Indian's think that
United we stand divided we miss understand.
Caste system
@@---..- like in Christianity Protestant, Orthodox, Catholic, Mormon
Like in Islam : Shia, sunni, Ahmadiyya.
thats not the same whatsoever..
😂🤣😅
Indian food always looks heavenly!
We at home cook similarly every day twice. Such style of cooking is best for your stomach and easy to digest. Any one can cook like this. You can find similar recipes one you tube also
Thanks dear🙏🚩🕉️
Also taste is heavenly
Hi. Im from Mauritius but part of the Brahmakumaris. I have been there several times. Its really wonderful how so much food is cooked and so many people eat. Its a practice by the organisation and this is only due to God's grace, nothing and nothing else. Namaste.
There are so many megakitchens like this one in India. Hindu and Sikh have this tradition of serving food as prasad in several temples and gurudwaras.
respect and gratitude to our Indian brothers and sisters for embracing and promoting the non consumption other sentient beings to the world 💪🏽🌱💗
YES, THIS!
My heart felt namaste to India and all these organisations who are changing people's lives.... 🙏🙏🙏
Are you from India?
The best thing about this mega kitchen was cleanliness. Every person, every food item all of the surrounding was very clean. My Aunt used to visit Mount Abu regularly before she fell badly ill. Now doctors have asked her to stay home, otherwise she never ever had missed any opportunity to visit this occasion
Are you also from Rajasthan?
@@YashSharma-rx3ff sorry, no, but I have a special feeling for Rajasthan. I have visited Jaipur once, but would love to visit Other places as well . Mount Abu for its Dilwara Jain Temples, about which we had read about in cultural history
@@sangeetagupta119 I am from Rajasthan, and I have visited Jaipur too several times. I thought you are also from Rajasthan.
How does it work being barefoot making the food? I saw in another video that people bathe before starting the food preparations. Are people expected to wash their feet as well as hands before getting started?
@@clobberelladoesntreadcomme9920 obviously. That's mandatory to maintain hygiene.
We need this in the US,
we can help so many people in need.
🇮🇳🤝🇺🇸
It may take a miracle to bring it here to the U.S. because of our savage culture and lack of leadership and worship of greed and material things. Giving and its benefits to mind, body and soul have not had the chance to flourish.
You can destroy and kill people in Iraq and libya and Vietnam and your media can show poverty and slums and patronizing journalism on india on space programme
@@williamryan9195 the west should embrace the culture of East . That'll create a better society and allow banning use of guns
@@universalsoldier811 Speak for yourself on gun banning. That is what Authoritarian governments do. Dictators and Authoritarians. No thank you.
The US as Food Stamps and other Welfare programs for that.
Proud of our Indian vegetarian dishes and social services. 🇮🇳🇮🇳🙌🙌
I’m amazed by this mega kitchen, I’ve seen a few that don’t consider hygiene and the environment during their operation. But this one is world class….. keep p the good work
You should also look for Akshay Patra operated by ISCKON. They operate world's biggest feeding programme for school going children and their Kitchens are very big, clean and high tech.
Beautiful big Respect to India 🇮🇳❤️
Big respect to Serbia too🙂. Because it's only visa free destination for Indians in Europe. 🇮🇳🇷🇸❤️
absolutely the cleanest and the most hygienic of facilities and kitchens in India among these Big Batches videos so far! I knew it must exist!
What about akshaya patra 🙄
@@imurbegum7864 have not seen it 😁
What these people do is remarkable.
Everyone is working in such harmony. It's beautiful to see.
This brings hope in humanity
Oh my goodness. Can you just imagine the aroma coming from that kitchen. So much food. Truly amazing.
The more I learn of Indian culture, the more I admire the Indian people.
The food is vegetarian, plus there is no onion or garlic used.
learn yoga and ancient philosophy it will help ur body and specially mind which u dont get in west...and i dont mean physcial exercise or posturing, i mean real ancient yog....
All of their food looks like diarrhea
@@stellviahohenheim Since you have a predilection of associating food with human excreta, I wonder what you are thinking when you feast on Bratwurst, or Italian rissoto, or even one of the creamy desserts that look like snot.
it's so crazy for me that every one of those workers are volunteers
Same. I spent the whole video wishing we could find a way to pay them.
@@alannahwatts5778 I believe the full time positions such as head chefs and bakers get paid
The unpaid volunteers are not working there full time, they rotate and they probably are people who benefited from the free food or will benefit from it in the future, it's simply non monetary economic exchanges inside of a community,
They all are on service, they found feeding food to souls is the service of God.
@@alannahwatts5778 they are not there for any kind of money
@@alannahwatts5778 service is an important part in Dharmic traditions. Since Hindusim, Buddism, Jainism and Sikhism all originated in India these Dharmic traditions share similar features eventhough they are different.
The spirit of volunteerism always takes any task to another level
Love this series, especially with Claudia.
Love how colorful the food is!
Food is always colourful, what do you mean?
@@YashSharma-rx3ff my sisters cooking would prove u wrong
@@A-Fishy-Potato As far as I know Kokomi has no sisters.
I just want to say, INCREDIBLE INDIA
India is real superpower of the world
Don't compare everything with America and other nations. It's important to respect unique culture of each nation. That's how others live. Respecting self is respecting others. And I am sure many other nations have such kitchens.
Abrahamic religions don't believe in poor or hungry feeding. Only the Sanatanis do this kind of narayan sewa. Show me one example of a mosque or a church feeding the poor or anybody for that matter!! Though Sikhs also feed all in langars. I have not come across Buddhists, Jain's also hosting langars or poor feeding.
@@thatspp4503 I don’t know about other religious organizations (Church or Mosque) but there certainly are food banks, homeless shelters, soup kitchens that serve the needy and the hungry. I have volunteered, so I know!
@@SamA-jw1pb show me example of a religious institution feeding the poor. All the ones stated by you above are either Govt or private funded by philanthropists. In India Hindu temples feed the maximum number of people.
@@thatspp4503 In Islam, one of the five pillars is Zakat, which is giving a percentage of savings and financial assets not used in everyday needs (2.5%). They are almost always collected in local mosques and distirbuted to charitable causes, mainly the poor. During Ramadan Muslims also fast to rememeber the poor and they are also obliged to give Sadaqat al-Fitr at the end. You can look up the cost of it if you would like, but it is calculated on a food basis. I am not sure about other Abrahamic religions but easing the lives of those less wealthy than you is one of core principles in Islam.
@@thatspp4503 Your ignorance is impressive. Links get flagged. There is no way to show examples. Google will help you though. But I'm sure you won't look. Lmao.
अपना अतुल्य भारत 🇮🇳🇮🇳
Now this is a clean Indian mega kitchen and puts a slap on the face of people who justify their unhygienic cooking practices.
Big kitchens in India are generally clean. Street food is something even indians generally are hesitant about
@@sscdreamsfornonhinditeens9927 those who are hungry don't care about cleanliness they just want food so we shouldn't judge them
WHat NONSENSE - who justifies 'unhygienic' cooking practices?
@@primordialarchetypes2927 many Indians
@@shashanks209 no only people with lack of awareness/ knowledge do not care about hygiene. Hungry is not starvation to not care.
All of the vegetarian and vegan foods look so good!
Except ghee which is made from cow's milk. So not exactly vegan.
Indians are vegeterians not vegan .
@@islandsunset indian cow farm not like European an american farm like. Hosteges
We are vegetarians not vegans
@@simplyzulu1426 vegan is americanisation of vegetarian
i am waiting for documentary on big daddy of all kitchens in tirupati. with all due respect to the rest of them. that kitchen is a city in itself. full computerized with modern tech catering to devotees following ancient traditions as old as 3000bc.
I love the thought they put into cooking. Food is a major part of living and people should think more what they are eating and why
Observing other cultures always opens one's mind to different ways of lives.
Feeding someone by heart is something which brings us happiness. Never seen such a big kitchen here. Amazing huge preparations, cleanliness and hard work . God bless them who feed thousands of people daily... 🙏
I visit here every year. Apart from there kitchen, they also got sooo many beautiful places to visit in Mount Abu.
Brhmakumari is best. My whole family goes there.. One world one family
Some very interesting stuff guys!
I find these videos so fascinating just on the fact that all these people come together simply to make meals for each other. It's great to see that and the care put into each one with very minimal use of machinery. I like to think that the way your food is made says a lot about the people. I hope to visit India one day and learn more about their culture.
You are always welcome to India
Somewhere from insiders video I have been!!
I have been there 2-3 times, it’s actually peaceful!! 😊
I love how they maintained hygiene throughout
I hope everyone has a great new year!! 🇬🇧
Megan a typical Christian fanatic is making hate comments against Hindus in the comments section
@@mukeshvijayaraghavan7550 yeah Christians are saints ,we saw how they genocided people during crusades and inquisitions
@@nithishnithish504 yes how many crores killed in ramayan and mahabharat ..... Even animals were not spared

This is very cool to see because I am from Rajasthan
Mein bhi.😁✌️
Bless these people 🙏🏻
They all wearing white but i see no stain at all. Very precise work
The Bramha Kumaris wear clean white simplest clothes, SIMPLEST. And I remember an incident when I was in school, some kid threw Colors during Holi Festival on a few Brahma kumaris passing by, and it became such a huge bad deal that word spread in the whole school of 3000+ students. So I guess, stained clothes or maybe just playing Holi is not a good thing for them.
@@jackharper5642 they play holi using flowers. White coloured clothes are like uniforms when practioners go for meditation class.
People look so satisfied and in peace..what a gathering..we certainly are what we eat
Asafoetida which is seen used so extensively in Indian food is imported from Iran ( barely consumed there ) , its a gum from the root of a medicinal plant having extensive health benefits ( been used for ages ) , it has a special taste very widely used in South India .
Imported mostly from Afghanistan.
it is also used in north & central india, known as heeng in hindi
Cooking is an engineering n it is a treat to watch varieties of dishes prepared highgienically in big quantities not missing quality! May "God bless all those involved."
India is really amazing.
while western media keep on portraying poverty in India ....this is the India true spirit, beliefs and teaching on root level.
Simple veg food can taste delicious if cooked with love.
Great, very well organised
I feel I am so grateful and lucky. I visited this Shantivan (Madhuvan) place three times in my life. What a great Divine place, big dinning hall, great pure food, great spiritual vibes all around, peaceful atmosphere. Thank you so much baba !!! So grateful for the divine place!!
It was amazing experience volunteering in this Kitchen. Elated to see Insider has covered this.
People from all over India come here and volunteer. Best run organisation.
Om Shanti
That's amazing - thanks for creating a great video
Great Service to mankind,may god bless you all and wish you to continue the service ...
Thanks billion for sharing this . What a purpose of life , this is enlightenment , just above achievement and accomplishment .
Long live Sanatan Dharma culture, traditions and customs.
Indians comes together like no other cultures , This is Beautiful
Service to people is equal to service to God
THE FOOD looks SOOOO GOOD!
I think all the Americans in the comments should tour India and possibly become vegetarian/vegan. It's definitely worthwhile.
Truly Amazing Baba
The most impressive thing here is the final cook doing everything in pristine white
beautifull..as it is as it was1food for life!one day very soon BharatVarsh will get the recognition as the mother land of humanity, teach and feed the world properly!HareKrsna!BoomShankaar!SriGuruParampara ki jay!

Wow, if cooking for people is your passion, cooking for 40,000 must be bliss.
Wow wonderful!!
this is amazing, the concept of positive thinking effecting the ones eating is good and these are good people
@@user-ajk kya shaitan hai??? Mere ko detail me explain kar
I wish the US had even half of the generosity that India has. But no, it's a dog-eat-dog country. If you're not at the top of the financial pyramid, you struggle while living off paycheck to paycheck and food stamps. India seems like the kind of place where it's hard to go hungry. Imagine if we had mega-kitchens like this for our holidays. We'd need so much meat, though. Tons of turkey and ham for Thanksgiving and Christmas, so much beef for 4th of July burgers. I think vegetarian and vegan is still a hard sell for a lot of us. I'm all for it, as long as it tastes good, and doesn't have gluten or lactose, or spicy. I'm such a huge spice wimp.
That’s a pretty generalized statement. If you want freebies, move to India then
more than positive this is canada too, not just US.. canada if your not on top the financial pyramid we live from paycheque to paycheque, some of us can’t even count on 1 job, i know people even myself working 2-3 jobs just to support their families and put food on the table paying nearly twelve hundred dollars just for a 800 sq. ft apartment building… god i hate when americans think that theirs only one country in the world 😭
Wild thing is we used to be able to afford life's necessitates based on one income per household. Couple that with the fact that there is more money per capita in the United States than ever before. Kinda makes you wonder where it's all going.
@@bongimusprime7981 what an original retort 🙄
India has probably gotta be one of the worst areas to live bro. The population density is so high, their government is corrupt, and the pollution and waste there is so bad.
Amazing culture, and for the most part respectful people.
This is love
Obsessed with hygienic cooking vids from mega kitchen ❤
Great👍👍👏..
Mind 😏😏blowing....
Everything... Is in a perfect💯👍👏 ways...
We in north of India organise ‘Bhandara’ where anyone can come n eat …it is normally organised upon completion of some puja or recitation of Ramayan,Bhagwat katha…also during Navratri …people organise Prasad distribution …
That can happen ONLY in INDIA...MOTHER INDIA!
Community is everything!
Great video and wonderful show of love
Wonderful !!!
I JUST LoooooooOVE THIS
I went to Mount Abu for a Spiritual Retreat and ate there.
Their food is full of peace and love.
Cook at home and add the secret ingredient you will never find outside in a restaurant ....LOVE
Om Shanti
Take ur meds white boy,the "spiritual retreat",ah millenials😂!
How beautiful. The food and community.
Great👍👏👏😊..
No exclamation‼️‼️‼️‼️....
That’s a lot of volunteers. Love it. Wish I could help. I cant even afford a plane ticket to the other side of my state though.
Then visit any nearby iskon temple you can volunteer there
Hare krishna
