Govinda : Several times when I brought Prabhupada’s lunch plate in with subji, rice, dahl, and chapatis, he said, “When I was in India, everyone told me, ‘Oh Swamiji, don’t go to America. In America there will be no food for you. You will starve. They only eat meat in America.’” Back then there wasn’t much interchange between India and America. Prabhupada said, “I simply told them, ‘What is that? I shall live on bread and potatoes.’ I thought I would be living on bread and potatoes, but now I see that Krishna has sent everything; dahl, rice, chapatis, subjis.” He was amazed and happy about that.
