“…the Sunday Love Feasts at the Portland temple gave me a ‘taste’ for Krishna consciousness. …feasts were magical in those early days. I look forward to reading FEAST because I still long to have the magic back again…”
—Drsta dasa (ACBSP)
“When I finally moved into the temple, I discovered that those opulent Sunday feasts became the highlight of my devotional life. They kept me going from one week to the next.”
—HH Niranjana Swami (ACBSP)
“Srila Prabhupada entrusted his followers with his transcendental legacy, and his followers don’t want any aspect of that legacy—including its magnificent prasada repertoire—to slip away, for sri krishna-prasada is an indispensable part of our very means of conquest over the material energy.”
—Visakha devi dasi (ACBSP)
“…One by one, I sampled the preparations: bada, sweet rice —every taste new, incomparable. I thought that everything was perfect: the guru, the chanting, and the prasada.”
—HH Giriraj Swami (ACBSP)
“FEAST is a valuable tool for training present and future cooks in our ‘Kitchen Religion’ because it aims to keep alive the art of preparing sumptuous feasts, cooked with ghee and spices, for the pleasure of Lord Krishna.”
—Dhirasanta dasa Goswami (ACBSP)
