Conversations and Morning Walks

1977 Conversations and Morning Walks

With little milk mixed up.
Room Conversation -- October 10, 1977, Vrndavana:

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: We have... Jayatīrtha brought us new boxes of Complan from England. You have fresh supply now. You want Complan instead of milk?

Prabhupāda: What do you think?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Well, whatever you take, we don't want you to cough. That's a fact. That's too disturbing. So... (break) Why not take barley water instead of milk? I mean is milk better than barley water?

Prabhupāda: No.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: So yesterday you took barley water and you didn't get mucus. So why not stick with that for a little while and get some more strength? See, if you get mucus now, because you don't have much strength, it will be difficult for you to cough. First of all, better to get more strength. Then we can take up drinking some things like milk which might cause a little mucus, but then you'd have the strength to cough. Now we should not take any risk. Is that a fact? At least that's how I'm thinking. It may be better you drink some barley water. Do you mind drinking it?

Prabhupāda: With little milk mixed up.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Little Complan or milk?

Prabhupāda: Milk.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: All right. Okay, Prabhupāda. Upendra is making just now.

Prabhupāda: There is sufficient weakness.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: There is what?

Prabhupāda: Weakness.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes.

Prabhupāda: I want to sleep.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Should I massage you a little to help you sleep? Okay. Where should I give you massage especially? Where should I massage you especially? Which part?

Prabhupāda: Any part. (break)
