Krishna Sunday Feasts

Street urchins are often easy marks for Krishna recruiters offering free Sunday night vegetarian feasts in trade for simple religious devotion. How can you know what deity suits your needs unless you taste-test? And if you’re broke and the Hindu hors d’oeuvres come in the form of dal and basmati… yum! The intent of the Krishna Sunday Feast is not to feed hungry people but, rather, to have people feed “the deities” through their own bodies. It’s a great way to appeal to the spiritually starved if they are also physically famished. Keep in mind, you do have to sit through hours of lecture – though you’ll notice latecomers who know just what time to arrive – and a small donation is sometimes requested. Some temples may ask women to stand in the back but the gurus are slowly addressing the subservient nature of females in Krishna. (Keep in mind ladies: Your brains are smaller than your male counterparts’, so it’s probably a waste of the brain cells you do have to try to reason this out.) Find a temple near you at Krishna.com. Added bonus: “Hare Hare” mantra chanting will remove all your grievous sins.
