First-class puris prepared by Kurma Dasa
Satsvarupa : While staying in Sydney, Srila Prabhupada held an initiation and sacrifice in the backyard. The devotees then brought Srila Prabhupada the Deities' maha-prasadam. He looked at the plate and picked out one puri. He smelled it, poked it with his fingers, and then tasted it. "This puri is the best puri," He said. "It is perfect. Bring me the man who has cooked this puri."
The devotees ran off and found the fortunate cook, Kurma dasa. They brought him before Prabhupada, who said, "Thank you very much for following the rules and regulations. I can understand that to cook such a puri you are following all the rules nicely." Prabhupada explained that that was the way to do things properly - to follow, to be strict.
"I don't like second-class things," he said. "I like first-class puris." Every day while in Sydney, Prabhupada used to have Kurma's first-class puris and he liked them very much indeed.
