Preparing food with spice of loving offering I don;t know how and when I began to feel intense devotion for Lord Krishna...there are too many moving parts and contributing factors, to date I am not religious or ritualistic..to me Christ consciousness or Krishna consciousness is one and the same ..but I will share some very personal account here..My dearest Soma Devo , the man with heart of Gold (I call him the cosmic man ) had a very powerful influence over me...he is a living example of what a life of loving devotion and surrender to God is ..he re-centered my faith in God in the most balanced and loving perspective with no dry , speculating philosophies and theories When I visited him in Arkansas, he introduced me to his very beautiful mate , Sharanagati Sharon Burch (she is my God mother , soul sister both in one) who brought me into a very beautiful loving faith of preparing prasadam (which refers to practice of preparing meal with loving devotion , offering it first to Lord and then eating and sharing the remnants of the food offered). The experience of being in presence of Sharan and Soma was extraordinary for me ! I can totally understand the confusion in the minds of those who have not had a direct , first hand experience in tasting the extraordinary potency , mercy and bliss that comes from eating prasadam..I have been preparing prasadam every day (I confess I am not perfect by any standards) but I surely can feel the difference in my consciousness and emotional state on days when I may have missed preparing prasadam.. As with all things, the proof of pudding is in tasting it, the potency of any faith is also in experiencing it directly. If you feel curious to know about Prasadam , this article might be for you. I assert , one doesnt have to be religious or become a Hindu to live in loving devotion..God , has no religion. He only accepts offering that comes from deep faith, loving surrender with no ulterior motives including the motivation to seek blessing!
