Krsna helps those who help themselves!!

[Sarva gattah]

Krsna helps those who helps themselves!! For the old Prabhupada disciples and older people in general, one can stop the further damage salt and sugar has caused of years and years of 'honouring Prasadam' and sill is causing by taking lipitor and tritace, the wonder drugs of the 21st century.

 

Let me explain!

 

Peace, love and brown rice is not going to undo the damage 40 years of Halva, ghee, simple wonderfuls, golubs, sandish, deep fried puris, somosas, califlower pakoras and so many other rich foods, that over endulgences of, is the cause of diabeties, heart disease and the death of many devotees including some of Prabhupadas Guru disciples. The message is simple, have a good diet or be prepared to leave your body!

 

When honoring the Maha Prasad, take a grain instead of eating the lot like MANY OF US HAVE DONE. Wonderfully rich subjis drowned in Ghee! Yummy yummy

 

Also the damage to blood vessels and the heart is already done in many older devotees except for devotees like Balarama dasa of Australia (in his late 60s) who is always very careful what he ate. Bhavananda is the same, he is nearly 70 but has the bodily vessel of a 45 year old.

 

On the other hand Gour Govinda Maharaj's veins where so blocked that it was inevitable as he got older he was heading to an early grave, also Svarupa Damadara Maharaj was in a similar situation. Gopal Krsna Maharaj was the same but modern science and learning to eat what his body can handle seems to have saved him (along with Krsna of course). Now he has to eat 'humble pie" if he wants to stay arround and preach

 

Krsna is not going to save the material body of him or anyone else because of their stupied ignorance

 

Don't be sentimental (its prasadam praboooo ) or arrogent and deny the successful dicoveries of science. When Prabhupada had an infected finger in Sydney he took penicillin

 

To conclude, someone should get Kurma the great ISKCON cook, to bring out a health book of recipies for the elderly followers of Krsna, many of his present recipies, ever though very wonderful, will just clog your veins.
