An Offering Prepared with Great Care

“He prepared a large jug of it in Bengal, and with great care he has brought it here.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Antya 12.107, translation

What the purport teaches

  • Jagadānanda prepared a large jug of oil in Bengal.
  • He brought it with great care, showing the effort behind his offering.
  • His careful preparation did not mean the Lord would accept the oil for His own use.
