All right, she has a question.

Question: I prepared some food, offered it to Krishna, and put it into the refrigerator. Then I took it out later, and I needed to heat it again. When it was heated for the second time, does this food lose its qualities or do they remain? Do I need to offer it to Krishna again?

Answer: No, they remain.

Question: What if I prepared a meal, ate one spoonful of it, and then remembered I hadn’t offered it to Krishna? Is it ethical to offer it to Him after that?

Answer: Not really. But at least you remember this. That is how it is in the beginning. You take… Ah!

Question: So what should I do?

Answer: Try better next time. Ok, thank you.

Question: Could you repeat what are the four types of purification you talked about?

Answer: Ok, you get purified by thinking of God in the first place; just thinking of God is the first one. You offer the food, that is the second one. You chant the mantras, that is the third one. You eat the food, the fourth one.

All right, we cannot take too much time because it gets late so quick. Come tomorrow night, we will continue. HARIBOL.
