  • Jai Shree Krishna! I do have a crush on you RasaLoka--aside from that, great cooking, filming and I'm sure eating :) Great job--keep it up... so entertaining and learn a lot too... Hare Krisha!

  • hahhahaha, love it when he says we just eat air!!!!! PRICELESS!!! haha love it!! xx

    Ps....nice singing =)

  • You seem nice/crazy, but edit more!

  • I love when Ben smiles this really small smile...it's so beautiful

  • Hey Ben, I think that Rasa dude has a crush on you. Maybe he doesn't know it but he does. And I've never been wrong, this counts for gays.

  • About the stirring rice issue: it's best not to because that helps the starch get out, which makes the rice sticky (and you washed it at the start to get some of it out). Great video: I love you pair!

  • cheers :) i don't actually know how to cook, technically, i just do it all from instinct. so probably made loads of mistakes, but it tasted good, although i don't really eat cooked food myself,

    Rasa

    xx

  • Hari Bolllllllllll!!!

  • @MsSeverusSnapexoxo

    keep your nastiness to yourself

    and no i dont have a crush on ben you loser

    affection for someone doesnt mean lusting then, we're not all dogs

  • I liked the phrase about how the "mood goes into the food".

  • First rule of cooking: You should use a  lid when cooking up water to a boil!

  • He gets on my nerves after three minutes.

  • are you guys high? I think you are lol

  • Since when do Vaishnava's not eat carrot?? Kurma Dasa makes Carrot Halva and so do others. Can you share with us why you dont eat carrots??

  • they do eat carrot :s don;t they?

  • Didnt you see the way I said "carrot"...

    Its cuz ISKCON do eat carrot...

    Dont ask me why cuz KRSNA tells you in the Vedas how Carrots are the product of the blood of the first sacrificed cow...like red lentils are, which smell of beef when cooked. The carrots are naturally red and bleed red when cooked and even though the Orangemen turned them orange ages ago, they still have 0 nutritional value and detrimental to your health, google it all...you should NOT eat carrots, red lentils, mushrooms x

  • Please provide a scriptural reference...

  • No scriptural reference??

  • Are you O blood type Rh-?????

  • I'm vegan, wanted to watch, but couldn't.

    Are you enjoying giving people headache shaking the camera????

  • go watch where Ben hold the camera stupid (part 2-4) you are stupid cuz Vegans have the lowest IQ out of all diets...95 average because KRSNA said GO RAKSA...protect the cows, because without dairy, man cannot undersatand Me, it is the food for intelligence...

    by the way, you should stop eating ONIONS too, Lord BUDDHA said they make man ANGRY...hence why you are hating...

    VEGANS ARE SUPPOSE TO COMPASSIONATE? WHY U HATING ON A FELLOW VEGETARIAN HUMAN TRYING TO ADVERTISE VEGETARIANISM!

  • So post videos "where Ben hold the camera".

    I don't care about what Buddha or Shoko Asahara or Mao said, I have my own consciousness.

    Why you cannot accept constructive criticism???

  • Fun & entertaining :)

  • pretty good video. eaither though I eat Meat XD. Original video...I like that. :)

I'm known as Reza here, bored out me wits. George Bryan Psychiatric Hospital...and yeah I'm SANE. Mad on God, Blissed Out, Tears of Joy and Separation (THEY CALL IT MANIA HERE THOUGH)

    Rasa, see you maybe

    x

  • RL beautiful in every way

  • brrinng benn baackkk

  • wow this guy is unique

  • This guy makes the devotees look like they may all be completely insane.

  • well I am BIPOLAR...and sectioned...and NOT OF THIS WORLD...I'm Celibate, Teetotal..I sleep on hard floors, Ive never known what drugs or tobacco tastes like...I never watch TV, I never eat out, I like Nature and reading Scriptures is my hobby... I wake up 3am and I sleep 10 hours a week sometimes...dnt eat for a month sometimes, dont drink for a week sometimes...

    YUP IM NOT NORMAL...but who said being normal is right in God's eyes?

  • Is prideful bragging like this right in God's eyes? Self-righteous people do the least service to God in my opinion. They are what gives religion a bad reputation and keep people separated from God.

  • Dont you know you NOT TO CRITICISE either...that aint Godly, what was the purpose in your put downs?

    Mister Blatently Envious Indigolden...

    I'd like to see you say these comments to my face...ALL WORDS NO TROUSERS...

    Hi Ben!

  • I didn't criticize you at all. Please look at my comment. I asked a question, and then I made a general comment about prideful people. I never said anything directly about you. I used the third person plural "they," not "you." You applied it to yourself, and then proceeded to get defensive. So, it must hit close to bone, no? BTW, what exactly am I envious of? Your bipolar disorder? Your delusions of grandure? LOL! That's a good one!

  • the west calls it a disorder, Mozart, Beethoven, Einstein and Da Vinci all had 'BIPOLAR DISORDER'...its a blessing, makin you talented, creative and drawing you closer to God through natural highs...

    and you can LOL al you like, the only reason people ever hate is cuz of envy. You should stop right here or I'll start mentioning you when I do mine and Bens next video. Use you as an example of Envious ones.

  • I don't hate you, and I don't envy you. This again is your assumption. I do, however, disagree that mental illness somehow makes you superior to other people and favored in God's eyes. The people you cite did very highly productive things with their lives. Until you actually produce something of value in your life, you have nothing to brag about. Besides, bipolar disorder is a very common thing. It does not make you great. Only your actions and character can do that.

  • BIPOLAR MANIC phases are where all of man's greats, Mozart, Beethoven, Da Vinci, Jim Carrey, make the world better place...envious are those who stay on the boring frequency and never experience these God given, enlightening and ecstatic highs...you've never been to NUTHOUSES to know what we're like so get away with your criticism...and if you were in my presence you would never try to directly or indirectly diss me, I'd KICK your ASS!...or Arse..Im English. Productive? Watch this space...

  • "if you were in my presence you would never try to directly or indirectly diss me, I'd KICK your ASS"

    --------------

    If I was in the presence of hyena I would never try to piss it too.

  • Strange YouTube reply placements...

    Sorry, I thought ASS KICKing was in reply to my comments until I saw later it was reply for Indigolden.

  • Ben, the way you live makes me happy!

  • "Tom-ah-o" LOL :D

    I'm really excited at the idea of BenLoka showing veg-cooking videos like this... But I found this video a little hard to follow for anyone wishing to duplicate the recipes... I wonder if, in the future, you could add some titles showing the name & measurement of what you're adding etc. Just a suggestion.

    Its nice to see Rasa is doing okay. I'll look forward to seeing his new videos if they are on here, but I don't think I'll be communicating w/ him anymore.

  • You sir make me proud to be a vegetarian :)

  • mmm... looks yummy, I like chicken breast strips in my stir fry, or even served with thick tender smoked pork chop. Question, how would you recommend serving aprroximately 800 people recently displaced by a tornado? I was planning on serving ribeye sandwiches, or hamburgers off the grill, but if you have some vegan tips that fill some very hungry homeless folks, let me know!!

  • if you add beans to grains you get a whole protein. You could used canned beans, vegetables etc to help with cooking times. Falafel are made by frying raw (but soaked) chickpeas, and are filling, you could serve those in bread. Cooking for 40 or so would be quite easy, 800 quite a challenge, so it will alway be a job for more than one person, no matter what you cook. Protein is not such an issue, you should look at the overall number of calories (in an emergency situation, more is better).

  • Well we are (were)cooking not really in an "emergency,"we were doing as more good will,for the relief workers, and victims. Meat is more plentiful and cheaper,at least here in the midwest,it just takes less time, less FILLS them up,as well.we served nearly 760 hamburger and porkburgers and we got several hugs from many greatful people,one guy lost his dogs,his wife is still hospitilized,cars,house gone,and his mother killed in the next town over. Largest tornado yet,my car windows shattered.

  • Wasnt to concerned with nutritional "value," this more like soul food, wasn't really practical to serve nearly 800 people with plates, bowls, or sporks. Just toss on grill flip, and slap on bread buns, and pass them out, we could several at once then put them in styrofoam coolers an tin foil to keep them warm, and then we were able to serve everyone in just a couple of hours over lunch time, right out there in what once was the highschool parking lot.

  • I don't think anyone should bitch at you for serving meat in that situation, personally.

    I think, in a situation where you're just trying to care for disaster victims, it'd be ideal to offer some vegetarian/vegan recipes, but you're not talking about an ideal situation.

    I'm giving you a thumbs-up to counteract whatever jerk thumbs-downed you.

  • Hey Ben Loka,.. how exaclty would you prepare enough 100% vegan meals on the go for approx. 800 people at once? What would you do,.. I mean, If you can provide me with away to prepare it outdoors, in a timely, practical way, that feeds 800 hungery people within a couple of hours, than please let me know,.. Other wise I will serve MEAT!

  • If we were in Asia, it'd probably be beans & rice on a leaf or something -- eaten with the hands.

    I'm quite sure you could serve that in much the same easy way you did the burgers, and the price would probably be comparable, if not cheaper.

    (I know I'm not the almighty BenLoka, but) I said I don't think anyone should blame you for serving meat in a disaster-relief situation. They ought to be glad you're doing anything at all.

    You're starting to sound like you want an argument or something?

  • You commented on your own video! hilarious as usual.

  • Yes - way to represent for the vegetarians! Yay! I love that question: "Well, if you don't eat MEAT and you don't eat FISH...well what do you EAT???" Lotsa good stuff!

  • I'm quite certain brown rice is offerable, they sell it at Govinda's.

  • oh calm down, man.

  • Yeah, much better to cook & live entirely for yourself. You don't have to be a follower of their faith to appreciate seeing younger people leading spiritual lives while still be 'normal' guys.

    Go watch some TV IggyPopFFF.

  • wow.

    i want this.

    ben, you can cook for me anytime!!

    Next gathering- you and your friend can bring us all food, yeah? :D x

  • Deal! When you can smell the aromatic scent of rice in the air, you'll know we are near =) x

  • Looks like you guys had a lot of fun together! Wish I coulda been there. Rasa! Great to see you looking so fine! Cooking for Krsna is a great way to express your devotion. Ben...respect and Hare Krsna! One question: didn't you guys use ghee?

  • In the west vegetarian food is seen as tasteless. But thats because people cant cook it. Try Indian food (veg), its awesome.

  • where's ben?

  • In the video...

  • I love how he sings everything

  • WHAT? he talks very fast! and switches topics too quick! I'm confuzzled!

  • i always make rise pudding with rise

  • kwl.

  • love the music in the background :)

  • goodness - passion, goodness - ignorance, goodness - STEAMER!

    THANKS, highly informative (especially about the rice preparation)  :)

  • very good advise. Im a vegy myself and i cant cook... at all. You can imagine how bad that is for me. It's true that you can have a very healthy diet with out meat. Soya and anything beany is one of my favourite types of food. The part where Ben's friend... i think he called himself RoseLoka. XD He said to enjoy making food, be more positive about it. Do it for God, that was very interesting. For lunch today, im going to have some fun! Cheers lads.

  • So if you're Hare Krishnas, then who are those people in the street who ask me to "gift" them two litres of milk, or hassel me to "gift" them a tenner for a book and a CD of "Monk-Rock"?? =P

  • Rasa sings everything - awesome! :D

  • looks good ur freind is really funny he needs his own channel....

  • Interestingly enough, "rasa" is Indonesian for "flavour"!

    And it's a cooking video!

  • Coincidence?!! I think not!

  • hahaha

  • wow ben...your friend is entertaining...if he had a channel i would probably subscribe. food looks good!

  • bens friend is crazzyy

  • dude u guys are amazing

  • Just an observation, how come Gordon Ramsey does so well if he's always angry in the kitchen?

  • lol great vid!! XD

  • this is such an interesting video =D

  • lol...havun a blast

  • hahaha lol ur a flavoured character

  • how r u cookin 4 god?

  • i think i can see why he is going to be sectioned haha,great singing :D

  • wh have the same colander, and bowl that he had the tomatos in XD

    wow, my life is good XD

  • I love rice!! as a side dish to my Pollo con chile. yummy yum yum!!

  • I think Rasa is like a mixture of BenLoka and Gradualreport. (= two of the best :-)

  • Why do vegetarians look like this? Can't they look normal?.... and act normal.

  • NEVEERRRRR!

  • i love it :) xxx

  • I'm lookin forward to watchin some Rasa...he's funny time, especially when contrasted with U.

  • I am happy to say that I ate all vegetarian this weekend!!..... cows and chickens are vegetarian, right?

  • you'll soon find out mate..

    "mamsah khadititi mamsah" ... "I am killing this animal, I am eating him and in my next life, he'll kill and eat me" - VEDIC PRAYER OF UNDERSTANDING THE FACT BY KARMA IF YOU EAT KILLED ANIMALS YOU WILL BECOME ONE. unless you wipe ur karma that by surrendering to the father of the soul in the cow, chicke, apparently his name' KRSNA..

    by the way let me know how grass tastes 24/7. just give me a moooooo

    x

  • U made me giggle... thanks.

  • I'm sure if I were a cow grass would taste like a little piece of heaven.. hahaha! yummy yum yum!!

  • they're vegitarian but you aren't

  • and your point is?

  • dude, constantly mimicking the couch theme tune with your normal sentences is a little annoying ;)

  • hahah this is one strange video..

    i liked it though XD

    are you guys brothers?... and it seems like he actually practiced his singing solo

  • that would go great with chicken thanks for the recipe

  • hahaha okayyy

    bipolar is another word for revolutionary xD

    this is awesome. x]

  • Bipolar is another word for revolutionary lol

    couldn't agree more.

  • This made me a little dizzy, but was still an amusing video nevertheless,... 5 stars ;-)

  • LOL! Me too! It was great though wasn't it? :)

  • amituofo!

    never cook when you're angry...

    ...amituofo!

  • after all the "ben is calm" we still have the memory from nerimon's channel in which ben says he once told a 6 year old boy he would "withint within the next 24 hours" just cos he took "a yougart he wanted" lol

  • fruitarian, hahaha! This was great, I think I'll try to make this soon. :D

  • I like Rasaloka well enough, but I was so relieved when BenLoka finally came on screen. Whew! A familiar face...

    And he looked so shy when he realized the camera was on. lol Adorable.

  • The idea of killing animals for food sexually arouses me. Is this normal?

  • Probably not.

  • hmmm id go check that out........

  • Thank you for promoting vegetarianism!!!

  • OMG! You guys should have your own show on the food network channel! XD

  • I think I'm in love...haha

  • lmao rasa is hilarious!!

  • Holy Crap!! Joe Bloggs...from Tamworth... I know him! The bastard owes me ten bucks...

  • hahahahah

  • Half-brother?

  • Omg I love goji berries,

    we just stream them, or you can just boil them in hot water.

    =]]

  • Hahaha. I love when he talks-sings. 4:40 is so funny!

  • yey! so helpful. i stopped eating meat 3 days ago (i know it isn't that much) but this is so useful

    i'm really ashamed to admit this, but i actually didn't do the "1 vegetarian week", but i watched the documentary Earthlings (everybody go check it out!) and i was shocked & i won't eat meat again so i'm in the middle of the transition, it hasn't been that hard, but i know at some point my creativity for making meals will end. so in 5 words: thank you ben & rasa

  • aww i wana see the finished product!... and lol that guys like a hippie ali G. awesome.

  • are they lovers? im so confused...

  • why does that matters?

  • No no no. Just good friends. Even though they may seem in love or whatever, its just compassion. More people should be free to be this close to one another without being homophobic

  • thank you.

    i dont care if Ben's gay or not, im only curious about his sexual orientation because im so intrigued by him, well, AND his friend. im sure im not the only one.

  • why does anyone who asked about their sexual orientation gets a negative response from the viewers? not all of us are angry biased homophobics like some of you may think. i live in one of the most gay-friendly, gay-populated cities in the world and i enjoy it. get it right before you guys mistaken us for judging, just because we are curious about ben doesn't mean we like ben less than you do. it's a fucking simple question, just as if you saw a cute baby and you go "is the baby a boy or girl?"

  • they've both got girlfrends.

  • they r just m8s! cant they be matse without being accused of being homosexuals?

  • nobody is ACCUSING anyone here, and THANK YOU i've already got a reply that they are just friends and by the way there's nothing wrong with being homosexuals, if i say "she's homosexual" it'd be a statement not an ACCUSATION.

  • are they really straight? does anyone know?

  • yayyy!!!! thanks for making series of this!!!!

    &&btw i've been a vegetarian for a weeeeek

    and continuing! :)

  • what kind of berries are those exactly? i've never heard of them.

    hmmm *ponders*

  • Goji berries. Enlist the assistance of Google. :)

  • What is it that you don't eat other than meat? I couldnt understand Rasa.

  • onions, garlic and mushrooms, hare krishnas dont eat those because when the first cow was killed, mother nature spewed that up and that why onions stink stays on youur hands and makes your breath smell really bad, same with garlic i cant remember why for mushrooms though but its somthing like that. HARE KRISHNA

  • thanks! thats really interesting.

  • Looks good Ben, waiting to see how you get on with those berries.

  • I saw "RasaLoka - Vegeta" and thought Dragonball Z but yet I find some guy cooking leeks.

  • lmao same here

  • this video is awesome ^-^

    glad there are 4 parts.. looking forward to the other 3

    and like what the earlier comment said.. rasa should post his own videos as well!!

    hehe basmati rice =9 best stuff

  • blue.

  • I was JUST going to ask you how to cook vegetarian foods.

  • good job, ben.

  • Personally I prefer the asian way to cook rice but whatever. Nice video.

  • I can tell that this is going to be super helpful! I've given up meat all this week successfully and I'm going to see how long I can keep it up. I bought a vegetarian cookbook a few days ago which hopefully will help and now these videos will toooo! Thanks, Ben. And Rasa. Although, I didn't understand most of the words he said cause he spoke soo incredibly fast, so I may have to watch it 2, 3 or 12 more times. But I'm excited for the rest!

  • rice tastes great with broccoli and cheddar cheese

  • A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!

    PS: Not to sound totally creepy, but Ben has really nice eyes. :-)

  • I agree, basmati rice is the best!

  • He's fun.

  • whats it matter anyways?

  • OMG i get a negative 3! And i mean't no offence!!! For fuck sake! It matters something to me, duhh thats why i asked it.

  • why does anyone who asked about their sexual orientation gets a negative response from the viewers? not all of us are angry biased homophobics like some of you may think. i live in one of the most gay-friendly, gay-populated cities in the world and i enjoy it. get it right before you guys mistaken us for judging, just because we are curious about ben doesn't mean we like ben less than you do. it's a fucking simple question, just as if you saw a cute baby and you go "is the baby a boy or girl?"

  • Thank you so much for your support. I was worried the policitical incorrectness you kick in. I think the people of youtube (including me) are scared of asking a simple question like that. Im not biased, nor a homophobic, i was just a viewer, asking a simple question.

  • It's people like you that remind me that youtube isn't entirely populated by retards. Well, until I go and read the rest of the comments and feel like stabbing myself in the eyes.

  • nope

  • Mandy's profile lists her as BenLoka's "missus"... I'm not sure if that's accurate or if its meant in the joking sense (like someone who lists as "Brad Pitt's Missus"... But if its meant in earnest, there's your answer! :)

    Anyway, just wanted to mention that most think its equally rude to ask someone if their baby is a boy or girl? @ least in the USA, I think a lot of ppl would find that rude? I think its also a bit rude to ask someone their sexual orientation...

  • D'oh! I just got it:

    Mandy <3 Ben

    DuhhhH! :)

  • By the way just because someone doesn't assimilate directly to one society's notion of a gender norm -- that doesn't make them homosexual.

    THAT is why its an ignorant statement.

  • I truly respect you and your stance. As my other blogs on the Ben Loka vegetarian week, and why you should be a vegetarian videos, would suggest, I am NOT a vegetarian, I eat both, and like both. I only get irritaded when I hear such far out accusations based without merit. If all vegetarians thought as PRACTICALLY as you, than I would not have been so irritated.

  • it is meant in earnest :) although, i am also Brad Pitt's Missus. But don't tell Ben.

  • Uhhhh, I don't THINK SOOOOOO Sweetie, cuz Brad told me I was his one & only thankyouverymuch!! (But I only want him when he wears either the full get-up from Interview w/ a Vampire or Troy. Otherwise, he spends the night @ Angelina's house and I call Gary Oldman!)

    Is that you in the "Burning Down the House" video??? You two lose your accents when you sing. Why is that? Why do all Brits lose their accents when they sing?

  • actually, when we sing that's our real accents. we just put on fake accents when we talk to onfuse people and make them consider the wonder that is 'accents'
