Hare Krsna

This is a short photo story about growing grains (beans in this case), collecting them, drying them, and storing them in jars for years of later use. Annad bhavanti bhutani–In BG(3.14) Krsna tells us that all living entities subsist on food grains. Here is one such grain that practically anybody can simply grow, to fulfill this obligation to the Lord of Creation.

tied up in  bundles, we keep the beans here until they are very crispy brown on their outside skins-these have just gone into the greenhouse for drying which takes about a month or so.

next we bring all the beans in the house and shell them all-and here is what you have left-all kept for years in jars in our pantry shelves for gradual use in various preps. Beautiful, aren’t they??

Only Krsna can create in this way, a practical, store able  and beautiful bean foodstuff for eventual offerings to Him.
