Book Distribution News: Srila Prabhupada lands in BostonWe went to an event called "food not bombs" today. There a gentleman came and stood behind our table. He looked kind of scruffy, not sure if he was homeless or hippie, but had that kind of look. He picked up a Higher Taste from our book box and started distributing to another person, saying "this is a great book and you should take it". We asked him who he was. He said: "I met your master when he first landed in Boston" We said: "really." He said: "Yes. some where in Southie a big boat landed. (Commonwealth pier is in south boston, also known as southie. that's where Srila Prabhupada jaladuta docked). He was standing and looking at the ocean. He asked me to come with him. I told him, that I cannot. I have my own thing going. He looked tired and was wearing some strange robe. And some years later, I picked up this book (HT), it had a different cover back then and I have been a vegetarian since" He did seem genuine. I did not see any reason he would make up a random story like this. We did invite him to come to the temple and such and told him about Prabhupada arrival festival we have every year in September. I still cannot believe that we met someone who met Srila Prabhupada when he first landed in Boston. I am still in ecstasy thinking about it. ys, - Nitin (Text D:2910018) ------------------------------------------- ------- End of Forwarded Message ------ Kurma dasa, AU: Blog Baby!
Blog Baby has come of age! As well as the day I head to Melbourne for my weekend of La Trobe University cooking classes, today is my Blog Birthday!! I started ye olde blogge exactly 5 years ago today. In fact, here it is again... "May 28, 2005. Welcome to my new web log (Blog). I'm in Melbourne at present, doing my twice-a-year Australia-wide teaching thang, and doing a bit of chilling out between teaching venues. Since this is only day one of my Blogging life (I'm a veritable Blog Baby), I should slip in a few great photos of the early part of this tour, all taken by my good friend Radha Caran, who kindly drove me to all my country Victorian venues. We started with a small, intimate class at Holmesglen Tafe in Moorabbin. A highlight of the day was the fabulous laksa, shown here in all its glory.
But my favourite was the succulent eggplant, red pepper, tomato, kalamata olive and capers dip from Sicily called Caponata. It was drizzled with some lovely organic Australian olive oil, strewn with fresh basil leaves and scooped up with crisp-toasted ciabatta bread. Heaven!
Next was a home cooking class near Ballarat. In this picture, the milk is just about to be transformed into panir cheese.
Lunch was a work of art. That's hot and sizzling haloumi steaks with toasted pine nuts, salad greens and roasted red peppers atop the crusty bread, scrambled panir, strawberries with yogurt cheese and balsamic, savoury pancakes with an avocado salsa, and poories.
Next stop was Wangaratta, affectionately called the "Wang". My class with 56 ecstatically enthusiastic "Wang-ites" at Goulburn Ovens Tafe was a real hit. Here's a few fired-up attendees doing a bit of mis-en-place.
But wait...there's more. Lunchtime was a real blast, with waiters and table service. You can see they were all really having fun - and that's only one table! Could this be the world's longest vegetarian dinner table?
A great day is never complete without a book signing. I sold my entire load of books, and even had some orders for more. (Check the date - Ed.)
Next day I cooked a special lunch with the year 12 girls at Methodist Ladies College in Kew. It was a regular event for the girls, where each time a Celebrity Chef gets to cook a fabulous meal with the budding chefettes for 50 special guests. Notable on the VIP table were Ian Parmenter of ABC TV cooking fame, and the well known and well-loved Elizabeth Chong. They congratulated me on the meal. Elizabeth graciously drove me home. That night I flew to Sydney, where I taught a Vegetarian Barbecue class in Glebe the next morning and a great home class in Gerringong, near Nowra the day after. Boy was I wiped out! I took a well-appreciated rest with my parents in Sydney, visited my daughter and grandson, and laid low for the next cooking wave. Canberra's Cooking Co-ordinates in Belconnen was next stop. The chirpy upbeat Saturday morning crowd thoroughly enjoyed the menu: Soft Cashew-Studded South-Indian Steamed Semolina Breads (Rawa Idli, I returned to Sydney that night, and next day did one last sydney gig, a laid back dinner party in the home of Jude, a seasoned chef in her own right, with her lovely friends. A fantastic end to a busy jaunt in NSW! That brought me to a very chilly Tasmania. Hobart was a grand success! I taught another edge-of-seat class at Drysdale Tafe on Collins Street. A big 'thank-you' to all the staff there for their warmth and hospitality!
Here's the menu I shared with my very enthusiastic Hobart groupies: Moroccan Bean & Vegetable Soup (Harira),
Pictured above is a massive piece of homemade cheese (panir) that found it's way, all golden brown and succulently deep-fried, into the Moroccan Harira." Wow! say's I. Nothing much has changed in 5 years. Sastra Dana, San Diego, USA: The Smell
“The Smell” is is club in Los Angeles downtown. It seems to be a place of gathering for artists, musicians, youth, and creative folks. For the past several weeks I’ve been corresponding on facebook with a fellow who just turned eighteen. He has become a devotee of Krishna and that is what we had in common and what brought us together on facebook. After corresponding with him for weeks I eventually found out that one of his first contacts with Krishna consciousness was a book he found at The Smell, this club in downtown Los Angeles. Guess what! The book was placed there by Sastra Dana!!! Woohoo! Srila Prabhupada often said that our books are like time bombs. Once they are distributed, they are just waiting to go off and create a spiritual revolution in the harts of their readers.

Thank you for all the wonderful recipes that you share. I love to cook and especially love to share meals with friends, and your recipes always go down a treat. I also like to use what is fresh and readily available to me so, I'm always on the lookout for local produce. Lately I have become aware of elephant apple trees. The local council has used them in street plantings and there is also a lovely large tree at the botanical gardens. After some research I found that this tree originates from India and the green fruit is used to make chutneys, although I have not been able to find a recipe, so I was hoping you might be able to help me, if you have any knowledge of this fruit and it's culinary uses. I do look forward to hearing any suggestions; thank you for a great inspiring blog." My reply: Hello Susie, I've encountered this fruit in India. Elephant apple is also known as Bael fruit, matoom, Bengal quince, golden apple, holy fruit, and stone apple. I used to drink fresh ripe Bael fruit juice in Mayapur for breakfast. The fruit is also used for curries. The tree is also very medicinal. Juice extracted from the leaves is given to relieve the symptoms of asthma and fever. Tea made from the flowers is used to cleanse eye infections. Tea made from the root are used to relieve heart palpitations, indigestion, bowel inflammations and to stop vomiting and relieve nausea. Here's a link to a nice chutney recipe.
And here's more information about Elephant apples.

H.H. Satsvarupa das Goswami: '448' from The Yellow Submarine4:09 A.M.I had a migraine headache early last evening but I was able to subdue it and slept peacefully. I got up at a quarter after two and began my rounds. They were slow and somewhat lethargic. This is a repetitive report from what I have been giving in recent days. I'm keeping my general optimistic outlook, however, with awareness that the chanting is powerful even when it's not perfect. I will chant my quota, and I will chant them better than the first eight. I will keep in mind the inspiring sections I am reading now of sankirtana in Caitanya-caritamrita of Lord Caitanya and His followers and the section from Srimad Bhagavatam of Yamaraja's instructions to his messengers. In those sections the importance of chanting is emphasized. I read them with the sense of it being a double-edged sword. On the one hand it is comforting to know that I am chanting, which is the only way out of material entanglement. But I am not doing it to the highest standard, so that is the other edge of the blade. You are a chanter H.H. Satsvarupa das Goswami: 'At O'Hare Airport' from The Yellow SubmarinePrabhupada smaranam  
Here is Prabhupada arriving at O'Hare airport in Chicago. He and his entourage delicately weave between two pot-bellied Chicago cops with their checkered caps and guns and holsters. Prabhupada holds his hand in pranams and drops his eyes as he comes abreast of them, then clears through and opens his eyes with a compassionate smile with his mouth closed. The devotees were doing aggressive book distribution at O'Hare and had a tense relationship with the police. The head of the Hare Krishna movement walks past the police with no incident. The police played the dual role of protecting him and surveilling him. He passes through safely like a lotus atop the water in the pond. Krishna is protecting him. He has come to attend the ISKCON Ratha-yatra and to do interviews at the temple, and to lecture and hold kirtana with the devotees and visitors to the temple. While in Chicago, Prabhupada talked with the police officer in charge of public relations. He asked the man to freely donate a specific building in Evanstown, Illinois (near the temple) and we would use it to check crime. Prabhupada explained to him how we would accommodate criminals in a peaceful program where they would follow the sadhana of Krishna consciousness and be reformed. The police officer listened respectfully and with apparent seriousness but said that the decision for the use of the building was not up to him, but the local government. During his Chicago stay, Prabhupada had a controversial interview with a woman reporter in which he told her that the woman's brain was smaller than a man's and that a woman has no specific standing in the varnasrama dharma except to be a submissive wife. The reporter printed a sarcastic, critical article in the newspaper, and a summation of the interview was broadcast on the radio. Prabhupada was not disturbed by it. He enjoyed his stay in Chicago, which was, for him, filled with preaching opportunities and a successful observation of the Ratha-yatra down the city streets. Yoga of Ecology, Bhakta Chris, USA: Dear Mr.President, Go Organic!
Why are they saying this? And why are they sounding like they have been reading my book (Clean, Green and Lean)? Because they have actually been reviewing the same research that I have been studying for the last few decades. Multiple published studies have revealed the relationship of small daily doses of environmental toxins to health. In this case, the panel was looking directly at cancer risk. There have been articles published over the last few decades showing that people who are exposed to certain pesticides, industrial chemicals and common air pollutants have higher rates of cancer. Dr. Devra Lee Davis published an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1994 where she revealed that the boomer generation had twice the rates of cancer as their parents had, and that these cancers were NOT related to smoking but to other environmental toxins. The President's Cancer Panel showed particular concern around pesticide and other chemical toxin exposure in children (and rightly so). They talked about parents and child-care providers being more active in reducing a child's exposure to toxic compounds. They also recommended that prior to becoming parents, that both the mother and father-to-be reduce their toxin exposures (and I would recommend that they lower their load as well). When it comes to pesticides this is very important, since organophosphate pesticide exposure (the most commonly used pesticide type today) has been strongly associated with childhood brain tumors in children. The occurrence of these brain cancers is far higher in children whose parents use these pesticides in their home or garden. One of these pesticides, diazinon, is the most commonly used pesticide for roses and other ornamental garden plants. Our defense against these toxins includes enzymes in our bodies that clear such pesticides from our bloodstream, but we don't all produce the same amount of enzymes. We all have many genetic differences, but about 50 percent of us have different genetic coding leading to lower levels of the enzymes that break down organophosphate pesticides in the bloodstream. When children with this genetic difference are exposed to these pesticides, the toxins stay in their bloodstream much longer and their rates of childhood brain tumors go even higher. The easiest way for us to avoid exposure to these organophosphate pesticides (which came out of nerve-gas warfare in the 1930's), is to stop eating the top 12 most toxic fruits and vegetables. These are (in order beginning with the most toxic): Peaches, Apples, Bell Peppers, Celery, Nectarines, Strawberries, Cherries, Kale, Lettuce, Imported Grapes, Carrots and Pears. See anything on that list that you regularly eat? For most of us, this list contains many of our most frequently eaten foods. So, if this includes you, then the first recommendation would be to spend a little extra for organic varieties of these foods. For those foods that can be peeled, this will reduce the pesticide load by about 95 percent! Your other option is to make an acid wash (more info on this is in the book: Clean, Green and Lean ) by mixing distilled vinegar with water in a bucket (about 10 percent vinegar), soak these fruits and veggies for a bit, and then scrub with a vegetable brush. Of course, that won't work well for strawberries or lettuce, so those you should just look for organic sources of. As I wrote in my book Clean, Green and Lean, there are many very simple steps to reduce our daily exposure to all of the toxic chemicals that fill our environment. We don't need to be victims of our environment. We can reclaim our health! By taking active steps, we can prevent a number of health problems that are becoming more commonplace. Often these illnesses are seen as inevitable, sometimes they may even be prevalent in your family. But, by reducing your toxic load and living a healthier lifestyle you may very well avoid these problems. Do you really think it is a coincidence that the rates of cancers, heart disease, diabetes, obesity and autism have skyrocketed in the last 20 years as our world has become so polluted?  H.H. Satsvarupa das Goswami: 'Lila and Daily Life' from The Yellow Submarine1. 2. 3. 4. 5. H.H. Satsvarupa das Goswami: 'The Sandals' from The Yellow SubmarineFree write
Two pairs of wooden sandals. I'll say they belong to Radha and Krishna, although they could be Gaura-Nitai's. If they belong to Krishna, He doesn't wear them anyway. He goes barefoot in Vrindavana. This is a cause of great anxiety for the gopis. They think that Krishna's feet are so soft that He bruises them when He touches them to the gopis' hard breasts. They fear that when Krishna walks barefoot in the forest He steps on hard spots like pebbles, sticks, straw, and even objects like potshards or pieces of conch shells. They cry just thinking of the pain He endures by unnecessarily acting like this. Krishna tells the gopis that they should not worry, that He knows how to walk without getting cut. Some of the gopis also tell other ones not to worry. The non-worrying gopis say that Mother Earth places a perpetual covering of soft padding for her beloved, and that He never encounters hard objects. But the worrying gopis counter that the cows disregard this padding and wander blindly, and Krishna follows the cows and cuts His feet. The gopis argue back and forth about this and have no peace.

Ananda Subramanian, Iowa, USA: Truth awakens LoveWhatever your way of life may be, whether a businessman or a doctor or a lawyer, or whether it is housewife or a student or whether you have wife and children. And it is not that you must necessarily give up your responsibilities in this world; because there is a need for all these various professions for human society to function. But the greatest need for the people who are engaging in these activities are; doing it with the understanding of truth. Because truth awakens love, mercy and selfless service to all others, and that is the greatest need. In this world, there is not enough love, compassion and truth. In this world if that was there, everything else would have been provided. All shortages are due to greed and envy if you examine the situation of our planet today. So therefore to perform your duty in this state of divine consciousness, the consciousness of love, which is within you, that is the great gift, which is available in your life. So please we are not concerned with converting a person from one religion to another, we are not concerned with recruiting members. We are simply concerned with enlightening the persons to truly take advantage of the opportunity to realize the principles of universal truth and love; that is within your own heart. Thank you very much!  H.H. Sivarama Swami: Visit to Krishna Valley by cousin Robertand the recent opening of two new houses for the families of two cowherd men.

The potatoes are ready to bloom which means they are starting to make tubers. These will be harvested for new potatoes plus if the yield is good we will have some left for storage. New potatoes are a different vegetable then the ones you buy in the store and no, the small ones they sell aren’t necessarily new potatoes, they are just small, usually. New potatoes you can rub the skin off with your finger applying only a small amount of pressure. The flea beetles are back at eating the leaves of the potato plants so I will reapply neem as an organic pesticide today. It has rained and been a few days since last application. It seems to keep their numbers down. Sprayer ready neem is available in the big box stores anymore even here in the Northern Temperate zone. Later Vidya will pick a bunch of the peonies and we will drop them off at the temple for the Lord Nrshimadev festivities this evening. Filed under: Cows and Environment       H.H.
