"Yes, this was my question also. It's not always possible to go through the whole ceremony. I'm retired but have a husband with advance Alzheimer's disease. I'm also a senior, who needs to eat small snacks throughout the day. "

Prasadam

I say the three prayers three times to Sri Prahbupoda, Chaitanya, and krshna after preparing a meal. I'm wondering if one has to do this each time, even before a snack, in order for the food to be prasadam.

Please describe yourself so that other like minded devotees can find you.

I am an 82 year old woman, who came to Krshna Consciousness about six to seven years ago. I meet with a small group of devotees here in Wichita. Because I have a disability that doesn't allow me to travel and because I care for a husband with late stage Alzheimer's disease, I am no longer able to travel, so i haven't been able to visit a temple for several years. My dream is to visit Vrindavin. if it is Krshna's desire that I do so, he will make it possible.

What are your expectations from this community?

I often have questions that I need answers to. I am reading the Shrimad-Bhagavatam and it is difficult for me to understand certain parts.

Describe any specific service you would love to offer to Lord Krishna & His devotees?

Because of my limitations, I am unable to do too much besides donate money to the movement. I specifically donate to Food for Life Global. If I'm able to donate my time to the movement in the future I plan to do so
