Drinking Water Without Touching One's Lips to the Container

[Pratyatosa Dasa]

Srila Prabhupada always did this. I've even seen professional athletes do this. It's important that we all get into this habit of common sense cleanliness, especially in front of the deities.

 

If you're clumsy like me, then at least get the kind of bottle that some types of bottled water comes in, the kind that has a spout and a cover for the spout. Then you can squirt the water into your mouth. With a little practice, you can learn how to do it without spilling it all other yourself!
