Personally, the Supreme Personality of Godhead is teaching us. And He is ordering in the Bhagavad-gita, patram puspam phalam toyam yo me bhaktya prayacchati. He is mentioning especially vegetables, grains, fruits. But not that everyone can offer Krsna all these things. No. He says yo me bhaktya prayacchati. He does not accept anything from the hands of a non-devotee. Therefore the non-initiated student cannot offer Him. He doesn't accept. He says especially yo me bhaktya prayacchati. He must be devotee. He is not hungry that He has come to your temple to eat. No. He is giving food to all the living entities. Eko bahunam vidadhati kaman. That one Krsna is giving all the necessities of life to all the living entities. So what we can offer? We cannot offer anything. Everything belongs to Krsna. Still He is very kind. He comes before you as you can handle Him, as you can dress Him, as you can wash Him, you can touch His lotus feet. Krsna is giving you chance. It is very difficult to approach Krsna, but Krsna is so kind that He has appeared in your temple and He is accepting. According to the rules and regulation, if you offer, He will accept.
