Raw deit
Nanda Kumar : When I first moved into the temple, I ate whatever prasad was served. Then I became Prabhupada's cook, so I had a kitchen, and I could prepare what I wanted. I had come from a Southern California raw-food background, and I started eating salads and fruits and simple food but I wanted to make sure that I was not going against what Prabhupada wanted.
One day I decided to ask him about a raw diet as opposed to taking prasadam. He said, "Actually, a raw diet is the best diet for Krishna consciousness. It's simple. It keeps your body healthy and clear. We don't tell the masses about it, because most people can't follow it, and we don't want them to get distracted from Krishna. But if you can do it, it's the best diet for your Krishna consciousness."
