Mrs. Shanta Batish - Panditji's wife and a phenomenal chef.
She and Panditji ran a restaurant in Santa Cruz back in the 70's called
Sri Krishna Cafe which latter became Batish India House. Now she has
completed a "Home Cooked Natural Foods of India" cookbook and yes
..... we will have some mouth watering recipes for you soon!
Ms. Surendra Batish - Panditji's daughter is in charge of our promotions
and media relations. If any media hounds are looking in :-) .....
this is the person to call for those promos etc.
Mr. Ralph Abraham - Ralph is not only a good family friend he is also
a full fledged Batish family member. None of this would be possible
without his unrelenting help. He has always been there for us. He
has generously allotted us this site space on the Net. What a guy!
While you are here check out his Visual Math Institute.
Now we do have a few younger Batish kids running around here .... and
yes they are following in our foot steps. So don't be surprised if
one of them logs on and says Hi!
