December 5, 1975 : Vrindavan

Hari Sauri: A local devotee, Sri Visvambhara Dayal, popularly known as Bhagatji, arrived at 9:00 p.m. to prepare Srila Prabhupada's hot milk and hold light discussion on the temple management, gurukula, and other matters. Srila Prabhupada drinks a glass of hot milk every evening just before taking rest, sometimes supplementing it with a savory like kachori, paratha or fried chira. He gave the cooks clear instructions how to make each preparation. His milk has to be exactly the right temperature - very hot, so that it can be easily digested, but not so hot that it burns.

One previous evening he demonstrated to me how to bring boiling milk to the right temperature for drinking. Calling for another bowl, he poured the milk from his silver cup from a height of about six inches into the bowl and then back again a few times to aerate the milk and reduce the temperature. When it was just right, he drank it.
