I love how you were inclusive to various spiritual paths. I tend to default to the Christian faith as that is how I was raised. But I learn so much from other paths that just add further value a depth to my own spiritual practice. It gave confirmation and was encouraging to see references to Christ and the Bible. Thank you for sharing your practice. I love the reverence you bring to food offerings. ❤😊
Hare Krsna Mataji. Thank you so much, I did not know that other faiths also mention about offering food to the Lord! Very important point for preaching!! Thank you 🙏
True whatever u said to some of the comments learn to accept God as a friend as a gurdian as a child or as a lover he’s is there in every form choose to accept and love God rather than keeping him far away from u hence the Bhog as a simple offering of love it’s early morning here and it feels so peaceful to see all of this
Please don't be offended. . Once upon a time, there was a sage. He used to place his food before Shri Krishna's Murti, then chant the Maha Mantra 108 times. Meanwhile his food's quantity reduced and he would be happy that Lord Krishna has accepted his offering. Then he used to eat the remaining food. Slowly and gradually he noticed that the food started reducing more and more and a time came what Lord would consume all the food. Initially the sage was happy that Bhagwan is accepting all food but the increasing hunger forced him to seek Bhagwan's mercy. Suddenly he heard a voice, "Oh! dear sage, you used to make me wait before eating food until you chanted the Maha Mantra 108 times. So I used to eat a little bit out of hit because I would be hungry. But now it's too much. If you keep me waiting I'll eat the whole food without waiting for you to complete your 108 times Maha Mantra." In surprise, the sage asked "But Lord, I was doing this all for you. Then why." Lord replied, "Am I not you? Are you not me?"
Hare Krishna mataji In my house my mom is incharge of cooking food but she is a non devotee then how should I offer that food to god.please reply mataji
Dear Eshita, even if she is not a devotee you can still offer her food. But offer the ones without onion and garlic and without non veg of course. That way your mom indirectly will be serving Krishna. How nice ha?
Good question, Shruti. If you feel you did a mistake of putting less salt then offer a salt in a small vessel along with food. Deities will put salt Themselves :D Usually, while putting salt or whily beginning the cooking we should think Radharani is ruling me and She actually cooking for Krishna. If you cook in this pray-full mood She will take care of salt and taste. So there won't be need to taste. And other thing is a good recipe should have quantity of salt noted down.
@@MohiniMadhavi seriously mataji deity will put themselves salt and all ?? mataji actually i am beginner in cooking earlier I never loved cooking but for laddu gopal I cook sometimes so I feel like I don't know it will taste will krishna live this taste .. should I taste so that I can make some arrangements for better taste 😀😀😀😀😀
Whatever we wanna eat we have to offer first to Krishna. Yes, at our home we offer everything. But since I cook twice, breakfast and lunch/dinner together so we offer two times. And snacks we offer in bulk and keep in one box as maha prasadam not mixing with bhoga.
Jesus never told He is God, but always told He is Son of God. But yes we can offer food to Son of God too, because He won't eat it first but will offer it to God.
@noorsulaimani Luke 23:34: Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” When Jesus was crucified, he uttered these words about those who begged for his crucifixion. He asked his father, who, in Christian theology is known as God the Father, for forgiveness of those who asked for his murder.
@@MohiniMadhavi What??? Do you know the Jesus are God in Holy Trinity (Holy Trinity are not three gods but one God, I know its difficult but Father, Son and Holy Spirit are one) and in Christianty God can't eat any food beacuse he don't want these food He want only to be worshiped by people Please don't talk about Christianty if you don't know that religion
Dear Bhavna, there are different standards of worshipping Deities at home. In Jagannatha Puri they offer 56 times palatable dishes to the Lord. In many big Temple they offer 5-8 times. At home we should offer whatever we cook at home. Suppose if we eat 3 times a day then we can offer 3 times. But the minimum is at least once Deities should eat food. Because Deities are like kids. We shouldn't keep them hungry.
In Islam, Allah is God so He doesn't need food to exist. There is no such thing in Islam where you have to offer food to Allah. He is beyond eating and things like that(since it is a humanly thing). Peace🤝✨
Yes, He is beyond eating and things like that. It is like a child offering one candy to his mommy. Mommy can have thousands of candies herself. She is beyond what child can give. She can herself make thousands of candies, so she doesn't depend on child's candy. But when she receive it from her child, she feels billion times happier than she makes herself something. We are not talking about what God is beyond of or not, we are talking about 'love' devotion, bhakti. That is, what attracts God.
@@MohiniMadhavi - Hi. Instead of food we offer our complete devotion, leaving off sins , our five daily prayers, being kind and compassionate to everyone around us, humans and animals alike. It is God who provides us with food so we thank him or give “Shukr”. Shukr - Gratitude. Hope this clarifies the concept for you. 🥰
There no god before Father and son of god; Jesus. He pay the price of blood in die for your sins and u must surrender your worship the false god and repent to Jesus for your sins. If u not surrender and believe In Jesus pay the sins in die for you. Then you will not go heaven and straight hell for pay your sins. There no worship the false god before God and Jesus
@@MohiniMadhavi If you declarers on your mouth: you repent and faithful in Jesus was death and rose from the death. He paid his blood for your sins. Then you shall saved and your name will be written on the book of life and book of death. In name the Jesus, Praise to Jesus.
But Jesus don't want food and He can't eat that food Do you know? Jesus is a God in Holy Trinity (One God in three persons) and God isn't want food or wine or water He want to pray, good, worship and love to humans and God If you aren't be Christian (Catholic Church is the only true not protestantism) you cannot understood the mystery of Trinity or Sacrament or Eucharist
With all due respect young one . There is no where in quran allah says allah wants food offering but it does say : allah doesn't ask for food but it is allah that will provide food for us and every creature allah made .. "say allah is one . Allah is independent free of need but every single thing that exist need him . Allah doesn't give birth nor was allah born. There is no one equal or comparable like allah". This one of the shortest chapter in quran called surah iklhas. God is not like humans or anything god created he is higher way higher than creation pure and exalted is god
Thank You Mohd Prabhuji for watching the video and telling about Your valuable opinion! True, in Quran Allah didn't tell to offer food. But He talks about sacrifice. In previous ages, when there were powerful brahmanas it was allowed to sacrifice an animal. So that while reading mantras and offering to God that same animal immediately used to take a human body. In this age where people kill animals for pleasure it is forbidden to kill them. Then what we can sacrifice for God? Everything vegetarian we eat. Because in Vedas the All Attractive God says to offer Him flowers, fruits or water. So it is good to offer.
Also we accept God to be our Father, aren't we? If so, let me bring an example of different stages of love. Kid may take food from his dad and thank him. But intelligent kid will not only take the food given by dad and eat himself but will offer back to his dad. That way child shows immense love towards his dad. Though dad may have everything. He doesn't depend on his own kid. He has lots of money. But he will be very happy to accept food from his child as an act of love. So true, God owns everything. He is not like us, hungry. He doesn't need anything. But still He reciprocates with loving exchanges of His devotees.
@@MohiniMadhavi 22:34) For every people We have laid down a ritual of sacrifice (- although the purpose of the ritual is the same -) that they pronounce the name of Allah over the cattle He has provided them.64 Your Lord is One God; so submit yourselves to Him alone. And give, (O Prophet), glad tidings to those that humble65 themselves (before Allah), ......."Another verse" :(22:37) Neither their flesh reaches Allah nor their blood; it is your piety that reaches Him.73 He has subjected these animals (to you) that you may magnify Allah for the guidance He has bestowed upon you. Give glad tidings,74 (O Prophet), to those who do good......... Sister there are many chapters and verses for clarity I set few examples in rough translations from the holy book Quran
@noorsulaimani you don't have to worry because you don't believe so why worry, hell and heaven is only for those who believe and do good deeds as an example parents also punish children if they disobey or warn them against punishment for wrongdoing and forgive them if they seek forgiveness and reward them if they do good .. GOD is higher above the creation and LOVE of GOD can't be compared it's way more infinity times more than our parents would ever love us .. so live and let live but just to give my opinion it's better to be a salve To ONE GOD than many or humans or material things or work the slavery to ONE GOD is a free will .. GOD is free of need from anyone or anything In the worlds (universes)
