"Regarding what to do with the skim milk after the ghee has been produced. So far I have experience in India, after churning the butter the remnant is called gohle this gohle is called sour milk. Sour milk can be taken by the members of New Vrindaban along with food. In India in villages they have enough milk and sour milk is taken in place of water or in dahl with salt and pepper. So sour milk should be taken by the devotees and ghee used. Cheese is very valuable. Sometimes it is used by sweet meat shops in India and it is called khurcha. If you like you can make cheese but we require much quantity of ghee. My idea is that in India there is a great scarcity of ghee, but I don't think it is practical to send ghee from New Vrindaban to India. Anyway, go on developing New Vrindaban into an ideal community, and I shall be pleased to see the new additions when I come there."

Raw Milk: Milk 'fresh from the cow'; the milk and cream separate, and cream rises to the top. Raw milk is essentially'skim' milk once the cream is removed.
Homogenized: Milk that has been processed to keep the cream from separating from the milk. The homogenization blending process breaks up the milkfat in the cream so that it remains suspended throughout the milk rather than rising to the top.
Pasteurized: Milk that has been processed by a heating process with eliminates bacteria in milk. While the process isn't said to change nutrients, there is a reduction of the B and C itamin levels in pasteurized milk.
Sweet Cream Butter: A typical supermarket butter produced from pasteurized, homogenized milk, with a portion of the cream included.
Country Butter: Hand-churned butter made by first skimming the cream from the surface milk, allowing it to "set" in bowls, then churning with any one of many types of churners. Country butter often has a stronger taste than today's off-the-shelf butter, and more cream is used in the making. It takes about 20 pounds of fresh cow’s milk to make each pound of butter.
Makhan: In India, homemade butter is known as 'Makhan', which may be butter or soured cream rather than the sweet cream butter found in the west. Mahkan is cultured, with whole milk allowed to ferment overnight as in yoghurt or 'dahi' making. The heavier the milk, the lower the temperature of dahi. The temperature should be about 60° F for cow's milk makhan. The next morning it is churned for a steady 15 minutes or so, until the butter forms on the surface. Remove the butter as it forms and continue to churn. The remaining milk product, called 'chaach', or butter milk, is usually drunk with breakfast or lunch. Try making makhan by using 1 quart of heavy whipping cream with 2 tablespoons of plain yoghurt (live culture).
"So the father conception of God, mother conception of God, is not bad. Just like in Bengal especially, they have got mother conception. Mother conception means the same thing, to exploit, take from mother, or father. But the Vaisnava conception is not to accept God as father or mother but as son. Son means to give. Father means to take from him, and son means to take from the father. So if you become father of God, then your business will be to give, not to take. That is Vaisnava conception. From the very beginning of the son's life, the mother is giving service to the son, the father is giving service. Therefore the service is there. Even Krsna is afraid of mother Yasoda. Why? Why mother Yasoda was trying to bind Krsna? Because He disrupted the process of service of mother Yasoda to Krsna. That is... Mother Yasoda tried that "You have broken the butter, and You have distributed to the monkeys, You rascal. Then how You will live? I kept the butter for You so that You will eat and You'll become fatty. And You have broken that, and You have distributed the butter to the monkeys, so You must be punished." So the aim is to serve Krsna, not that Yasoda is thinking, "My butter is spoiled by this child. Therefore He should be punished." He (she) is anxious to see that "Krsna may not starve for want of butter. He's child. He does not know. He has distributed the butter to the monkeys." But Krsna knows that "These monkeys are
