This rose is widely used in Ayurvedic medicine. You can add it to salads, drinks, tea, or vegetables. You can bake it into bread. It is a pity, but you can also bathe in it—some people like to do that, though I always feel sorry for it. Milk and rose in the bathtub, you know. Surprisingly, rose is very good for the hair. So I was eating a little every day in my hair. My hair grew back very quickly—it’s not a joke. There could have been a problem at the border when I crossed after having shaved my head and beard in dedication to Gurujī. Rose is also very good for the skin. Every day I ate a little of the rose, and my beard grew back very quickly. This could have caused an issue at the border when they checked my documents, because I had shaved in memory of Gurujī. Using roses is like a kāya kalpa. They are used mostly in summertime, as they have a very nice, cooling effect on the body. At one conference—we had many; I will speak of that later—a man said we should eat different foods in each season, and that is true. In the hot Indian summer, people used to drink a preparation of rose petals, poppy seeds, sugar, melon seeds, a little honey, and a little black pepper. All of this is ground finely, mixed with milk, and drunk like daytime tea. It has a very beautiful effect on the body. You experience ānanda, a feeling of ānanda. It is called tṛpti. There are no words for tṛpti. A little blackcurrant is mixed in and consumed. It has a very good effect on the whole body; you feel at peace. This state is called tṛpti, which cannot be described in words. During the hot Indian summer, they prepare a drink with roses, papaya seeds, pumpkin seeds, and some pepper. All of that is mixed with milk. You drink it, and it gives a good feeling to the body, so that you are immediately in Ānandī, in a state of tṛpti, which is simply indescribable—there is no word for it. It is like mahā-ānanda. Ez olyan, mint a mahā-ānanda. So that is what nature gives us. To je ono, amit a természettől kapunk, and everything is in nature.
