DADHI AND SCHOOL LUNCH

By Govinda Mohini devi dasi

Last year when Daddhi started school, we faced a challenge. The school did not allow him to bring food from home, and there they did not serve vegetarian food. So we started to look at several private schools that allow him to take lunch at home during the lunch break.

I shared this situation with a friend of mine, Jenny, our yoga teacher, and she told her daughter ate vegetarian lunch in the public school, and she told me to go again to his school and try to resolve it. Then I thought, if I prayed to Krishna to help me in this situation, probably He is speaking through Jenny.

So me and Daddhi went to school and they told it was very difficult because they don't accept food cooked in school. But I could try to speak with the person in charge and they gave me her address. We walked for 25 minutes and always chanting Hare Krishna. And Daddhi said to me: "Mum, Krishna is going to help me, I know that!"

When we got there, the person was a friend of a big friend of mine and she recognized me!!! I explained our situation and she said to me to send her an email and everything will be ok. In 10 minutes Krishna resolved our situation and protected His little devotee.

On the way back home we chanted again to thank Krishna. We enjoyed a lot that day!!!
