In India, the practice was hand grind daily. The women will do that, that’s the exercise for them, and they keep their for them, and they keep their body fit and beautiful. In the morning they chant Hare Krishna and grind. What ever they require for the day, they grind fresh. And actually by the exercise they keep their body beautiful, Yashodamai was doing that, even she is the queen of Nanda Maharaja, what to speak of other women. Churning milk, grinding the wheat, this is their household. Full engagement, Otherwise gossiping… “ Idle brain, devil’s workshop.”
