Prasadam

Scientific Reasons for Partaking Naivedya as Prasadam

Prasāda is to be consumed by devotees as an asupicious offering.

The offerings may include cooked food, sugarcane, or fruits. Vegetarian food is usually offered and later distributed to the devotees who are present in the temple.

Partaking of prasada reminds us that food is not merely intended to appease our taste. This act also purifies the food.

Food is digested through the gastric fire

The life force within us, i.e. the five physiological functions like respiratory, excretory, circulatory, reversal and digestive systems are getting purified..
