COOLERS TO BEAT THE SUMMER HEAT

As the days get hotter and hotter many of us find our appetites on the wane. All we want to do is to drink water or anything cool and refreshing. There is nothing nicer than a cool drink to revive one on a hot day. For those of you who are on the lookout for cooling beverages with a difference, here are some recipes for you to ensure a cool and refreshing summer.

Prepare and offer it to Lord Krishna with love and affection and receive His blessings before partaking the same.

BEETROOT JUICE

Method Grind separately beetroot, pineapple and cucumber along with water and strain it. Boil the apple cubes and grind along with the sugar, mix them well and pour it into glasses. Serve chilled.

-- In this material world the conditioned soul is very much distracted from his original all-knowing, all-blissful nature as Krishna's eternal servant because he is carried away by the so-called taste of material sense gratification. This artificial taste is encouraged and exploited by the materialistic propaganda mongers who make a handsome profit by misguiding the people in general promoting cigarettes, liquor, prostitution, meat eating, etc. The foolish sense enjoyer tries to become happy by squeezing as much pleasure as possible out of these things, but because there is no factual pleasure in sense gratification, the poor soul is ultimately left in a state of frustration and bewilderment. If, however, he will reconnect with his original transcendental nature diving deep into his eternal identity as the servant of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, he will taste a pleasure that is unlimitedly sublime and will go on increasing forever.
