PRAYERS FOR HONOURING PRASADAM TO LORD KRISHNA

HARE KRISHNA TO ALL DEVOTEES,

 

what are the prayers for offering food to lord Krishna ?

 

and when food has been offered after that which prayer to sing before eating that prasadam ?

 

Suppose if a person is hungry n he is outside in market n he buy fruits does he has to sing any prayer in heart n offer fruits to lord krishna before eating???/

 

suppose a person is outside n he buys something n want to eat that how to honour that to lord Krishna please??

 

in house we have to offer only main food ( like veg curries n chapati) or everything whatever we eat which does not have onion n garlic like fruits, chips or coffee ( carro brand its decaffeinated).

 

please tell the process of how to honour Prasadam to lord Krishna n prayers in detail please??

 

thanks.

 

HARE KRISHNA

    Hare Krishna dear Devotees, please accept my humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

    Devotees cook to feed Krishna. That means they do not use anything which cannot be offered to Him things like onion, garlic etc.

    We buy fruits, vegetables, grains, milk...to make food for Krishna - our home Deities. To feed Them and do not allow Them to remain hungry. And after offering and pleasing Them Devotees accept Deities remnants as a Prasada.

    If we are out and do not have proper place to offer to the Deities then one can do the same thing in mind. In mind wash the fruit, cut if needed; put into nice plates, put Tulasi leaves then offer prayers and request Deities in our mind to accept this fruit. Prayers we read same.

    Then chant Hare Krishna Maha Mantra and then after take that food from the Altar (again in mind) and offer that to Srila Prabhupada and one's own Diksha Guru then accept it as a Prasada.

    Usually we should not buy cooked grains especially from outside. Cooked by non Devotees. Only milk sweets or milk we can take from karmis but not cooked grains. Only in rare situations.

    Your servant,

      It would be really nice if you can provide the translated meaning of these mantras, especially the highlighted one's

      maha-prasade govinde
      nama-brahmani vaisnave
      svalpa-punya-vatam rajan
      visvaso naiva jayate
       

      sarira avidya-jal, jodendriya tahe kal,
      jive phele visaya-sagore
      tar' madhye jihva ati, lobhamoy sudurmati,
      ta ´ke jeta kathina
      samsare

      Dear Maral Mataji , Many milk sweets are also prepared by mixing grains, then what is the reasoning that milk sweets prepared by karmis can be offered and not regular cooked grains.

      Jai Jai Shree Krishna

      Radhe Radhe.

        translation of the above prayer is here: http://www.vaishnavsongs.com/maha-prasade-govinde/

        Milk sweets as like peda, or simple kava or mava, burfi without aluminum coil, sandesh we can buy but not those mixed with grains.

        But in some Holy Places like Sri Govardhan, and Jagannatha Puri Devotees take sweets like sampapri, Jagannath sweets, laddus cooked by local dhamvasis.

        Your servant,

  • thats the prayers you should say when you offering food to krishna:

    nama om vishnu-padaya krishna-preshthaya bhutale 
    srimate bhaktivedanta-swamin iti namine 
    namas te saraswate deve gaura-vani-pracharine 
    nirvishesha shunyavadi pashchatya desha tarine
    (prayer to srila prabhupada)
    namo maha-vadanyaya krishna-prema-pradaya te 
    krishnaya krishna-chaitanya-namne gaura-twishe namaha
    (prayer to lord chaitanya)
    namo brahmanya-devaya go-brahmana-hitaya cha 
    jagad-dhitaya krishnaya govindaya namo namaha
    (prayer to lord krishna)
    before you eat you should say that: 

    maha-prasade govinde
    nama-brahmani vaisnave
    svalpa-punya-vatam rajan
    visvaso naiva jayate
     

    sarira avidya-jal, jodendriya tahe kal,
    jive phele visaya-sagore
    tar' madhye jihva ati, lobhamoy sudurmati,
    ta ´ke jeta kathina samsare

     krishna baro doyamoy, koribare jihva jay,
    sva-prasad-anna dilo bhai
    sei annamrita pao, radha-krishna-guna gao,
    preme dako chaitanya-nitai


    if you dont offer the food to krishna you should say "om shri vishnu"
