Mukti· Liberation

Present Offerings With Faith

“The worshiper should faithfully present Me with water for washing My feet and mouth, fragrant oils, flowers and unbroken grains, along with incense, lamps and other offerings.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 11.27.33, translation

What the purport teaches

  • The worshiper should faithfully offer the Lord water for washing His feet and mouth.
  • Fragrant oils, flowers and unbroken grains are also among the offerings.
  • Incense, lamps and other offerings should likewise be presented to the Lord. Faith is the stated spirit of this service.

Try this today

Present a flower to the Lord today, taking a moment to offer it with conscious faith.

Ask yourself

How can I make an offering with greater faith rather than mere habit?

Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.

From Canto 10, chapter 14 onward, the translation and purports were completed by Śrīla Prabhupāda's disciples after his departure, and published by the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust.
