Mahavir: One morning in Vrindavan the American and European devotees complained to me that they wanted more fruit. At that time breakfast was chapatis and kichari, and lunch was chapati, dahl, rice and a subji. But I had already learned not to change anything, not to ruin a good thing. I went to Prabhupada and said, “Srila Prabhupada, the devotees want fruit in their diet.” Prabhupada said, “Humans are grain eaters. If they want to eat fruit, then that’s all they should eat. Don’t change it.” So I didn’t. I was happy because the chapatis—fresh and hot and just a little burnt— and the kichari were the best. The Vrindavan prasadam was delicious.
