Annapurna Vegetarian Restaurant

Dear Patron-friends, well-wishers,

Annapurna bows out for last curtain call August 3, Saturday

As I am musing for the right words to arise in my heart the first thought that comes is from 1973.

In 1973 during my visit to New York our Guru Sri Chinmoy asked me to start a vegetarian restaurant also saying - "not to make you rich but serve humanity with food cooked with love and to serve the Supreme
in each human being."

Beginning in late summer 1974 we opened near Avenue Rd- Davenport on Pears Avenue, and moved to Bathurst Street in 1984 July.

Now into the 50th year and personally in my 90th year we are facing the inevitable - to have to wind up Annapurna with a heavy heart.

At this time I am recalling the poignant words of our beloved Guru

Sri Chinmoy wrote: …..

"Remember me … because I was all gratitude, gratitude, gratitude to you, and you and you…….my children sweet….."

We believe we have modestly succeeded to reach the ideals set by our teacher only because of you all, our loyal customers who gave us the opportunity, to serve you and overlooked
our shortfalls.

Our deepest gratitude, gratitude, and gratitude For ever and ever to you all,

Devavira, Shivaram,
Kaushalya, Anvita, Karen,

Chogo, Rajeshwari, Karnayati
and many more
