Hi Fred,
The very mention of *nachni * took me back to my school days in Goa when my

Dear Goanetters,
Getting all schools to compulsorily spend one hour of study time on studying
Bhagvad Gita is a crass decision by an almost despotic and corrupt
government in Karnataka. This should be roundly condemned. I can see some

Satva is definitely pretty common, AFAIK. It is used as a nutritious
food for babies - a very good alternative to canned powder. Without
sugar and with less milk, it is also eaten by the elderly.
Powdered packs are available, as you found out, or one can get it
powdered at a flour mill.
