“Give Me Love”, is the new Hare Krishna centre in the heart of the famous
Camden Town, Central London, opened by the Prasad Distribution team
officially known as Food for All, by the mercy of Srila Prabhupada.
It’s already attracting so much attention, everyone wants a photo.
*George:* Well, we should try to see God in everything, so it helps so much
having the food to taste. Let’s face it, if God is in everything, why
shouldn’t you taste Him when you eat? I think that *prasadam* is a very
important thing. Krsna is God, so He’s absolute: His name. His form,
*prasadam,* it’s all Him. They say the way to a man’s heart is through his
stomach, so if you can get to a man’s spirit soul by eating, and it works,
why not do it?
There’s nothing better than having been chanting and dancing, or just
sitting and talking philosophy, and then suddenly the devotees bring out
the *prasadam.* It’s a blessing from Krsna, and it’s spiritually important.
The idea is that *prasadam’s* the sacrament the Christians talk about, only
instead of being just a wafer, it’s a whole feast, really, and the taste is
so nice—it’s out of this world. It’s undoubtedly done a great deal toward
getting a lot more people involved in spiritual life. *Prasadam *breaks
down prejudices, too, because they think, “Oh, well, yes, I wouldn’t mind a
drink of whatever or a bite of that.” Then they ask, “What’s this?” and
“Oh, well, it’s* prasadam.”* And they get to learn another aspect of Krsna
consciousness. Then they say, “It actually tastes quite nice. Have you got
another plateful?” I’ve seen that happen with lots of people, especially
older people I’ve seen at your temples. Maybe they were a little
prejudiced, but the next thing you know, they’re in love with *prasadam,* and
eventually they walk out of the temple thinking, “They’re not so bad after
all.”
*Mukunda:* The Vedic literatures reveal that *prasadam* conveys spiritual
realization, just as chanting docs. You make spiritual advancement just by
eating it.
*George:* I’d say from my experience that it definitely works. I’ve always
enjoyed *prasadam* much more when I’ve been at the temple, or when I’ve
actually been sitting with Prabhupada, than when somebody’s brought it to
me. Sometimes you can sit there with *prasadam* and find that three or four
hours have gone by and you didn’t even know it. *Prasadam* really helped me
a lot, because you start to realize “Now I’m tasting Krsna.” You’re
conscious suddenly of another aspect of God, understanding that He’s this
little *samosa.* It’s all just a matter of tuning into the spiritual, and
*prasadam’s* a very real part of it all.

Some more coloured pages from my Sherlock & London Graphic Novel. The project has been going on for several years and will probably take some more. More info here:
Because the story of the graphic novel is about John sending Sherlock on a treasure hunt through London on his birthday, it also fits with this month’s @sherlockchallenge : Game
Looking down a stairway toward the flats opposite, Alexandra and Ainsworth Estate
Interestingly to save space, the heating for the flats comes through the walls rather than radiators. The downside is that the heating is communal which means neighbours need to agree to one temperature for all the neighbouring flats. Surely a recipe for disputes?
Whilst I have plenty more Alexandra and Ainsworth Estate photographs to post, to avoid monotony I shall post some photographs of other locations before returning to the estate.
