PRASADAM DISTRIBUTION

Prasadam is referred to as a secret weapon because nobody can figure out how it affects from inside. Paracetamol cures our fever from inside and we are not conscious of each and every chemical process that happens inside our bodies, yet we know by the end of the day that it had an effect in curing us. Similarly, we may be stuck in a complete material perception of life, restlessly lusting over material sense objects like a fool, but once Prasadam enters our body, gradually we will see that there is a tremendous degeneration of envy, anger, lust from our hearts. Unless we control sex desire, peace cannot be achieved. And peace is all that we’re looking for. Therefore, identifying these diseases may help us seek the right medicine. Prasadam is a combination of diet and medicine. And therefore it is the secret weapon, from inside it creates a transformation, it changes you from within.

Krishna says that any sacrifice or yagya that doesn’t conclude with distributing Prasadam is considered to be in the mode of ignorance. Lord Kapila explains in the third canto of Srimad Bhagavatam one of the most important principles of deity worship is to offer bhoga to the Lord and distribute it as Prasadam to all the souls. This is a way of recognizing the presence of the Lord as Paramatma or Supersoul within everyone’s heart. The best way to elevate one’s consciousness to the level of perceiving the Lord’s presence in everyone is by distributing Prasadam.
