The Beauty of Krishna Prasadam

Do you eat to live? Or do you live to eat? It is essential if you want to successfully awaken your dormant Krishna consciousness that you should take sufficient foodstuffs for good health, and not go beyond that.

Overindulging in eating or binge eating is a waste of money and is not good for your health and longevity. Plus it is immoral because it takes food away from those who are starving and malnourished. And even more importantly, it is not good for your Krishna consciousness. K

rishna consciousness means to take only as much Krishna prasadam as is necessary to keep yourself fit for Krishna's service. Krishna prasadam consists of fruits, vegetables, dairy products, and grains which have been offered to Lord Sri Krishna with love and devotion.

The beauty of Krishna prasadam is that by taking it not only are you free from eating sin; you are also freed from the reactions to your previous sins. So who is that person who would not want to take advantage of Krishna prasadam for a healthy and happy life? Only an ignorant fool. Therefore we must enlighten everyone on the glories of Krishna prasadam.
