Simple devotional food, prepared with care, nourishes both body and soul far better than luxurious excess.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Prabhupāda: I'll have to go to you, and both of them I like. The Marwari this... Gujaratis, they use too much oil. Similarly Bengalis, too much oil.
Imli [tamarind], imli water? Subhaga: Yes, they like. And chili.
Prabhupāda: And chili. That's all. Subhaga: Actually, Prabhupāda, the Jaipuria, when they invited us, when we were in Kanpur, all the devotees, for three days we were eating very simple food, but the devotees liked so much. They were eating lots.
Prabhupāda: Oh, Jaipuria invite them? Subhaga: Yeah, Jaipuria, yeah, when we were in Kanpur.
Prabhupāda: Oh, Jaipuria is that old man? Subhaga: Manturām?
Prabhupāda: Mantura. He came to our temple. Caitya-guru: His son came here.
Prabhupāda: Eh? Caitya-guru: Yeah. The other day his sons came here.
