Hare Krsna Maharaj,

AGTSP

PAMHO

Hope your health is better. We have recently purchased home remedies books. They are quite nice. For colds they recommend milk boiled with ginger and turmeric or turmeric and pepper. We have tried the ginger and turmeric method..it gives some relief.

Two small questions -

1. Which wood (type..bamboo, teak, etc) was used to make Shri Krsna's flute?

            ASA - He has many flutes.  Many are made of bamboo.

2. All scriptures say that Shri Krsna was blue in colour. Since that is not normal skin colour and actually if a baby is blue..its not considered good for his health..were not Krsna's parents, friends, relatives concerned about it? They did not know him as God then how did they accept the blue colour?

      ASA - This is 5,000 years ago at the end of Dvarpara Yuga.   It is like talking about how things were in New York city in the Fall after winter, (Kali-yuga) has come.   In Dvapara yuga people lived to be 1,000 years. Same account the Bible. Carbon dating can't help us.    People had different natural healthy colors then. Now we get black brown white and some redish hue for american indians.  jAYA
