Are you guys still getting the cold shoulder from religious authorities in India? I remember my two times in Puri and several times in Kolkata meeting Krsna devotees anxious to visit major sites of worship who were turned away by temple Brahmins. A friend who was in the movement told me that on one trip to the Jagannatha Temple in Puri he and a number of other followers tried to storm the gates (in a completely nonviolent fashion) but were blocked by locals.

That aside, The one thing I miss about you guys is the wonderful Prasada I enjoyed at Krsna HQ in my hometown, Brisbane. When I was a lowly working lad washing dishes in a restaurant for minimum wage I'd go into town every friday for the 5 buck all you can eat special. Is there anywhere in Korea that serves Krsna food? I'd be there in a flash if it were easily accessable.

Thanks, "Jaganath..." - this thread may still be saved (after literally going into the toilet...)

Regarding non-Hindus or foreigners not being allowed entrance into a few major temples in India - most notably the great Jaganatha mandir in Puri -it is still a controversial issue, but some reformers see a possible breakthrough by next year. (Even Indira Gandhi was denied entrance because she had married a Parsi...)

On the issue of devotional vegetarian food - or prasadam - I agree that it is the most attractive feature of bhakti yoga. There are some Hare Krishna devotees from India that do a program that ends with free prasadam distribution every Sunday, I think, in the Uijeongbu area - I've never attended, but I could find out directions if you want. I get by mostly by cooking for myself (... I've been a temple cook, and I organized and cooked vegetarian food relief for poor people in Florida for about ten years.)

Last summer, though, some devotee friends of mine (from way back...) were in Seoul during Krishna's birthday and I organized and cooked an elaborate 12 course vegetarian feast. I rented a large room at Fraser Suites in Insa-dong and we had 18 guests, including some Russian devotees, a Korean professor and a couple university students - all of whom stayed up with us chanting and feasting till way after midnight...If you're still in Korea, I'll let you (or anyone interested) know whenever we do a similar program...

Actually, I recommend that you learn the art of vegetarian cooking yourself. There's a world famous Krishna cook out of Australia, named Kurma, whose televised lessons have been on a lot of public TV and cable channels. He also has a lot of cooking DVDs and videos on all kinds of international vegetarian and vegan cooking. (I gave my mother one last month when I visited, but we ended up giving it to a vegetarian friend of hers...) I might as well post his picture and some stuff from his website (no - I don't get any cut of the profits - and, for that matter, I haven't been connected to any Krishna organization in about ten years...)
(OK, he may look like a nerd, but he's really a great cook...)

Kurma's cooking shows have been broadcast on 178 PBS stations across the U.S., BBC2 and The Learning Channel in the U.K., STAR satellite TV from Hong Kong to Turkey, Russia, The Middle East, Indonesia, Malaysia, India, China and most recently in Australia on SBS and Foxtel.

Kurma .. has a gentle style that is a happy contrast
to the frantic and frenzied style of most television cooks. His subtle wit and enthusiasm, combined with
his fabulous-looking dishes, can renew your culinary excitement and creativity."
(Vegetarian Times)

"Meat-eaters and vegetarians alike will certainly find something to fit the bill in More Great Vegetarian
Dishes of the World on SBS with Kurma Dasa"
(Screen Watch, The Australian, May 2000)

"Kurma��s likeable personality makes it a totally fun experience."
(Hinduism Today)

"Cooking With Kurma .. is an excellent and welcomed addition to our cooking program line-up."
(Jeff Clarke, Houston PBS)

"We really enjoy Kurma's no-frills, no gimmicks television show. His enthusiasm for vegetarian food is infectious. ... Highly recommended."
(Brisbane Courier Mail, December 2000)...

Cheers, I have some Hare Krishna cookbooks at home and have on occaision cooked food from it for friends. I might get my mother to ship them over at some point. What about websites as well, must be some good vege recipes on the net? I'll go googleing and then head to the Indian grocers when I am in Seoul this weekend.

They do know how to throw down a mean spread. I will not divulge my one experience with eating with the cult loons. It sure did taste good.

Here you go sparkles...

Professor of Political Philosophy Flambé

1. Tie down one live professor of political philosophy to a large cedar log.

2. Place log over a light mixture of shredded John Rawls textbooks and photographs of starving Russians circa 1965.

3. Set ablaze, and dance wildly around the screaming body while singing, laughing, and wafting air from all directions to ensure an egalitarian crispness. (No individual limb should taste better than the body as a whole.)

4. Top with a hollandaise sauce made with one stick of butter and two cups abdominal wound puss from one Hollander freshly dead from waiting in line for free medical care.

5. Enjoy!

Vegetarian Animal Rights Activist Au Gratin

1. Baste one lean vegetarian animal rights activist in two quarts of monkey's blood.

2. Simmer in a lab rat bouillon for 20-25 minutes.

3. Place one organically grown apple in the vegetarian's mouth and fasten lips together with hypodermic needles contaminated with a disease as yet uncured due to a lack of animal testing.

4. Bake for 35 minutes at 450�� until no longer pale and visibly malnourished.

5. Sprinkle with soy cheese and serve with a side of southern-fried dolphin intestines.

Baked Feminist Head with White Wine and Country Vegetables

* Sever the head of one rich, white feminist, and cover with parchment paper. (Available at your local cooking store.)

* Be sure not to hold the head to close to your eyes before covering with paper, or your eyes will suffer an uncomfortable burning sensation.

* Before sealing the paper, top with white wine made by rich white males, and 3-4 cups of fresh, mixed vegetables grown by misogynist farmers.

* Be sure to cover the head completely with wine, pouring in a sweeping motion in the shape of the letters "c-u-n-t".

* Bake until brain is fully cooked (usually takes only a few minutes) or until whine is no longer evident through paper.

* If parchment paper is not readily available, you may substitute aluminum foil or a Penthouse Magazine centerfold of a dumb blond with huge *beep*.

Blackened Left-Wing Alternative Rock Musician with Scalloped Potatoes

1. Carefully remove the dreadlocks from one scrawny, sneering, alternative-rock musician.

2. Gag with several layers of fiber-strengthened packing tape and tenderize liberally with a mallet.

3. Place in a large casserole dish, along side one live black "victim" of "police brutality" freshly rescued from death row.

4. Garnish with a blunt-weapon medley, and lock in a large, wood burning oven.

5. As much fun to watch as popcorn, this authentic Cajun dish will snap, crackle, and pop right up until serving time!

6. When the ex-musician's brain fluids are clear, remove from oven.

7. Discard black criminal in much the same way you would discard a pop-up poultry thermometer.

8. Serve with scalloped potatoes and beer imported from a third-world sweat shop.

Roast Leg of Social Worker with Mango Chutney

1. Hack off one social worker's leg with a hack saw or hand axe. (Freshness is not so important at this stage, since most social worker flesh begins to ferment even before the social worker has been slaughtered.)

2. Slice lengthwise along the underside of the leg. The social worker's underdeveloped muscles make for easy slicing; however, you may find it helpful to let the leg sit in the sink of a slumlord's unheated apartment for several hours before attempting to cut.

3. Next, pull open the incision with your hands, and sprinkle freshly ground thyme, rosemary, welfare checks, food stamps, lottery tickets, and receipts for big-screen TVs inside the social worker's leg.

4. Place in a large roasting pan, and bake for 90 minutes at 350��.

5. Baste frequently, as the juices (composed of the blood of poor people) are quite tasty.

6. Serve with individual portions of mango chutney, bibs, and baby spoons with which you will use to feed your guests, as human beings are not capable of feeding themselves without your help.

Southern Baptist Preacher Meatloaf with Mashed Potatoes and Gravy

1. Ask your butcher to grind up one Southern Baptist Preacher.

2. Chop up two medium-sized onions which will never be replaced due to the farmer being damned to hell for working on a sunday.

3. In a large bowl, hand-mix the chopped onions into the ground Southern Baptist Preacher.

4. Add ketchup, red wine, and sweat from the forehead of a liqour store owner who keeps the preacher supplied with booze.

5. Serve with mashed potatoes and gravy, and garnish with one acre's worth of parsley taken from the house of the Choir Leader who will not give you an amen so proceed with caution.
