 Heidi
Rauhut, born in 1950 in the Bavarian part of Germany, was fascinated
by Indian
philosophy, culture, yoga,
and religion since the early age of ten. She practiced classical
South Indian dance with Padmini Chari and worked as an editor for
two children magazines when she met Harish
Johari in 1976 in Munich. There she started to paint under his
guidance and with the help of his sketches.
Five out of nine books by Harish Johari published
in the German language were translated by Heidi, amongst them the
famous "Ayurvedic
Healing Cuisine". This book was first printed in the German
language in the year 1988 at a time when "Ayurveda"
was not yet very popular in Europe. Heidi taught Harish's art of
vegetarian
cooking to Yoga teachers and friends in Munich, Holland, Belgium
and America. She also conducted vegetarian cooking classes for pregnant
ladies and introduced them to massage for the time during pregnancy
and after delivery as well as to the Indian baby
massage.
Since 1979 Heidi spent her holidays regularly every
year with Harish's family in Bareilly, North India. There she learned
from Harish Johari's mother, late Tara Devi, and his wife, Pratibha,
more about the traditional Indian kitchen secrets, the festivals
of India in connection with the householder's social and spiritual
life, the Indian way of childcare and baby massage, and traditional
vegetarian preparations to be taken by women after delivering a
child and during the time of breastfeeding the baby. Fate gave her
the opportunity to put her "Indian experience" into practice
when she assisted her pregnant friends and fellow students in Holland
during and after the home deliveries of their babies.
Since January 1999 Heidi lives in Haridwar,
India; being part of the ever busy Johari family house she is aiming
to devote time to spiritual studies and practices and to the transcription
of recorded lectures of her teacher late Shree Harish Johari.
Heidi is also the author of the "Swar Yoga Kalendar", a prana calendar for Germany.
