Manvantara· The Manus and right dutyShare Prasāda, Honor Everyone’s Relationship With God
“One should offer prasāda to the demigods, the saintly persons, one’s forefathers, the people in general, one’s family members, one’s relatives and one’s friends, seeing them all as devotees of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.”
What the purport teaches
- Prasāda should be offered to the demigods, saintly persons, forefathers, people in general, family, relatives, and friends.
- Everyone should distribute prasāda, considering every living being a part and parcel of the Supreme Lord. Feeding the poor should also be done by distributing prasāda.
- Being related to the Supreme Personality of Godhead does not make someone the Supreme Lord, Nārāyaṇa. The purport warns that confusing the two endangers devotional life.
