Churning milk, grinding the wheat

In India the practice was hand grind [wheat] daily. The women will do that. That’s exercise for them, and they keep their body fit and beautiful. In the morning they chant Hare Krsna and grind. Whatever they require for the day, they grind fresh. And actually, by this exercise, they keep their body beautiful. Yasodamayi was doing that, even she is the queen of Nanda Maharaja, what to speak of other women. Churning milk, grinding the wheat, this is their household. Full engagement. Otherwise gossiping… “Idle brain, devil’s workshop.”
