Staying away from Certain foods

[sudhaya 0]

 

Hare Krsna

 

During certain months, you have to stay away from certain foods such as leafy vegetables, some months milk products, etc, do devotees actually practice this?

 

I can't imagine being able to do this, it seems more difficult that living by the 4 regulative priciples!

Hare Krsna.

 

Yes, Prabhu. A lot of devotees practise this, even in the west. If you are in Vrindavan or other holy places, surely many many devotees practise this.

 

Don't worry if you cannot perform these austerity's, but its a plus if you can.

Srila Prabhupada said that if you can chant 16 rounds daily and follow the 4 regulative principles, you can go back home back to godhead.
