<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Evening Darsana -- February 15, 1977, Mayapura|Evening Darsana -- February 15, 1977, Mayapura]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: So much of this, what we produce, is given for the cows, because the cows cannot graze year round. Because for about four or five months there's too cold weather. Four months. So they have to have stock of food. "Oats-10 tons, wheat-10 tons." The wheat is... You tasted the cāpāṭi.</p>
<p>Brahmānanda: Excellent.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Very tasty.</p>
<p>Brahmānanda: Nearby there's a mill, and they grind the wheat fresh.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Hm?</p>
<p>Brahmānanda: Near to our farm is a mill where they grind the wheat fresh.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Our mill?</p>
<p>Brahmānanda: No.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: We are going to get one now. It is not difficult to have a mill. "Hay-45 tons."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: In India the practice was hand grind daily. The women will do that. That's exercise for them, and they keep their body fit and beautiful.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Oxen can also grind, I think. Can oxen also?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, there is no need oxen. Individually, small grinding-chapki(?). And in the morning they chant Hare Kṛṣṇa and grind. (sings) Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare... This is very nice process. Whatever they require for the day, they grind fresh. Very nice system. And actually, by this exercise, they keep their body beautiful.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Keeps them well engaged.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: And engagement. Yaśodāmāyi was doing that, even she is the queen of Nanda Mahārāja, what to speak of other women. Churning milk, grinding the wheat, this is their household. We have got that picture. Full engagement. Otherwise gossiping...</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Trouble.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Trouble. And whisping for laugh. That's all. (laughs) Whisping or whispering?</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Whispering.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: (chuckling) "Idle brain, devil's workshop." Then?</p>
