Does anyone know where this name came from. I have never seen this name

anywhere in India. Everytime I passed thru NY I got the feeling that someone

misunderstood the word laddu. Like some call evening aratika "sundar" instead

of "sandhya" and used to sing nivedEna instead of nivedAna in Tulasi artika.

Hare Krishna:

Please accept my humble obeisance's. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Nanda Kishore prabhu invented the sweet and may have named it also. It did

not resemble a Laddu in any way so there was no mistaking Lugglu for Laddu. It

 

is similar to naming the standard Western ISKCON sweet that Srila Prabhupada

tasted and liked, the "Simply Wonderful" made with powdered Milk, raisins,

butter, and sugar.

 

Your insignificant servant,

Mr. Jagger also donated to Shyamasundar ('67) for the steel beams for the

reinforcement of the second floor of the Bury Place temple. Otherwise, he'd

have a hell of a time explaining how famous he is to the Yamadutas. But as far

as the devil is concerned, Hugo Chavez has elected a new candidate ;-)
