I have already issued a post inquring as to Dietary Restrictions. These are the questions I asked. Do you have dietary restrictions/beliefs? ii. What are Dietary beliefs? iii. Is there a sacred origin/what is origin? iv. How long/continuous is belief structure? 1. Have they changed? 2. If so how have they changed? v. Does food serve a sacred purpose in religious services/celebrations? 1. If so how vi. Are there any differences in dietary practices from the movement in India or elsewhere in the world? I appreiciate the information that was provided to me but I have a few more questions. If anyone can reiterate the questions above giving me more information as well as answer my new questions that would be greatly appreiciated. 1. Are the cooking utensils purified or special in any way? 2. Is the kitchen used in the cooking of the food purified or cleansed in any ritualistic fashion before the food can be truly prasada and offered to Krishna 3. Are there certain food items that are more pure and thus more appropriate to be offered to Lord Krishna? Thank you very much for your time

Thank you very much for your time and effort in answering my questions. You were very informative and should help to make my paper as accurate and informative as possible. Thank you again, Nicci
