When I first joined in Sydney, we used to have really nice lunches — two or three different subjis, homemade bread, rice, dal, chapatis, sweets; this was our daily lunch. When Prabhupada came, he immediately stopped it. He said, “Rice, dal, and chapatis. Bas! For the Sunday feast, they can eat opulently. But it is not good for spiritual life to eat too opulently.”
