Due to absorption in book distribution, I did not plan ahead for my morning milk. As long as the weather is still a little fresh in the morning, it’s nice to accept little warm or hot milk prasadam.

So I had no choice but to drive the small distance to the market place where Aldi and Woolworth compete. It was 7.30 AM and sleepy Aldi was still closed till 8.30 AM, whereas hard working Woolworth opens at 7 AM. I just took $4.50 for 3 litres of milk.

When I arrived at milk fridges from the corner of my eye(s), I noticed a yellow sticker on one first bottle of milk in the many rows of bottles. It was discounted to $2.00, which is quite rare these days. When I removed that first bottle the second bottle behind was also discounted but nothing more after that. So for my initial money of $4.50 I got 6 litters off milk instead of 3 litres only, thats twice the expected amount and a residual money of $0.50. I call that a miracle because Krishna’s hand was definitely involved here. And I call this effective money management as well. Doubling one’s value is standard business practice for financial success. Thank you Woolworth for this opportunity!

But that was not all. When at the check out I requested Trish to please kindly chant the Hare Krishn mantra with me, she gladly complied. And we went

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna

Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare

I led and she followed. O course, I was wearing my Hare Krishna baseball cap for more preaching bang. And thank you Trish for taking up the Hare Krishna Mantra challenge.

Someone may say: And what are you going to do with 6 litres of milk?

Well Sir or Madam, dont you know that milk is such a wonderful and practical foodstuff that it can be consumed in the “fresh” state as well in the curdled state. In other words, milk never perishes. Besides that I contains all the ingredients that are needed for a healthy life. Babies are the living proof for that.

But to be fair to Aldi, they also have a miracle. Starting from Saturday 19th of October, Aldi is selling a Ferrex lawn mower, including battery and charger for just $249.00, with an astounding 5 years warranty. That’s a significant economic miracle! How does Aldi do it? There is certainly is a lot of good will behind this action, good will to benefit the people. I have been waiting for this “miracle”for quite some time. Thank you Aldi! One Aldi employee confided that he previously had a Ferex lawn mower for the five year warranty period and there were no problems whatsoever. At the end of the five years period, he simply upgraded.
