lost (2)

Three lost prasadam-related Iskcon Canada holidays/pastimes;

1 Varuni Juice day
2 feed the brahmanas sweets day
3 Ooorts
1 Once a year, I think it is Balarama's appearance day, i can't remember, the cooks would prepare buckets of Vaurni juice, made with whey and excess honey. The devotees would drink it, and get quite intoxicated and laugh and look swimmy-eyed a lot... great annual fun.
2 Also once a year, also cannot recall which day, the temple would bring out bowls of rasagullas and burfi and sandesh, and the brahamans would be fed so many sweets their mouths would be stuffed full of gulabjamuns. I used to donate a lot of mine to Swapana Prabhu, who would then feel obliged to eat all of them out of respect for the brahamanas! You'd feel it in your next day's japa though...
3 If one could somehow manage to steal some prasadam off of a favorite devotee's plate, it was called oorts, and consided most auspicious to eat or take.

''Those who are demoniac do not know what is to be done and what is not to be done. Neither cleanliness nor proper behavior nor truth is found in them.
They say that this world is unreal, that there is no foundation and that there is no God in control. It is produced of sex desire, and has no cause other than lust.
Following such conclusions, the demoniac, who are lost to themselves and who have no intelligence, engage in unbeneficial, horrible works meant to destroy the world.''
Bg:16/7-9
