Name: Mithi Lassi

It is natural...for us to trust in ourselves. It is so natural, and so confirmed by the habits of a lifetime, that no ordinary difficulties or perplexities avail to break us of it. It takes all God can do to root up our self-confidence. He must reduce us to despair; He must bring us to such an extremity that the one voice we have in our hearts, the one voice that cries to us wherever we look round for help, is death, death, death. It is out of this despair that the superhuman hope is born. It is out of this abject helplessness that the soul learns to look up with new trust to God… How do most of us attain to any faith in Providence? Is it not by proving, through numberless experiments, that it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps? Is it not by coming, again and again, to the limit of our resources, and being compelled to feel that unless there is a wisdom and a love at work on our behalf, immeasurably wiser and more benign than our own, life is a moral chaos?... Only desperation opens our eyes to God’s love.

INSTRUCTIONS

Taken from "The Hare Krishna Book of Vegetarian Cooking" by Adiraja dasa,
Mithi Lassi (Sweet yogurt or buttermilk drink).
For best results, dissolve the sweetener in a small quantity of hot water
before mixing it with the other ingredients.
Mix all the ingredients together with a whisk or an electric blender until
the surface of the lassi becomes frothy.  Serve chilled, either by adding
crushed ice or by refrigeration.
As an alternative to rose-water and cardamom, try 3 tablespoons of lime or
lemon juice, 3 tablespoons of flavored syrup, or 1/2 cup (50 g) of crushed
red berries, ripe banana, or ripe mango.

A Message from our Provider:

“We need to discover all over again that worship is natural to the Christian, as it was to the godly Israelites who wrote the psalms, and that the habit of celebrating the greatness and graciousness of God yields an endless flow of thankfulness, joy, and zeal. #J.I. Packer”
