Modern civilization destroys families through unnatural practices; true culture nurtures children and prepares food with gratitude and simplicity.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: So is that because they can... They're in the heavenly enjoyment, but they see that that is not the ultimate. And unless they are born in Bhārata-varṣa and get the opportunity for perfection in bhakti, they cannot achieve that ultimate, Kṛṣṇa consciousness. It seems that this is a very fortunate position, to be in this Bhārata-varṣa. Prabhupāda: Yes, it is favorable position. bhārata-bhūmite haila manuṣya-janma yāra...
[Cc. Ādi 9.41] Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Hmm. I was seeing tonight when I was circumambulating the temple that the people... I could see that they're enjoying this field of enjoyment, completely unaware of the rare opportunity that they have. And then I was looking at the Deities, and I was realizing that the whole purpose of this temple and our movement is to give this opportunity to people to utilize this rare birth properly.
Something very extraordinary. Triumphant. "I shall be triumphant." [break] Mother Yaśodā. That is Indian style.
"Kṛṣṇa we must move. Now the child is trying to turn Himself. Turn Himself." There is ceremony. This is ceremony.
This is Indian way of raising up children. Sādha-bhakṣaṇa [entertaining a pregnant woman with her choice dishes]. When we were small children, we were all, brothers and sister, three mo..., three years before us. So naturally, when mother was young, she became pregnant.
So there were three, four ceremonies during..., within the period of three years. One is called sādha-bhakṣaṇa. Sādha-bhakṣaṇa, the idea is... Pregnancy is dangerous.
At the time of delivery the woman is in danger. There may be so many dangers. Therefore twice sādha-bhakṣaṇa, at the period of seven months and perhaps in nine months. Whatever she likes, she should eat.
