Svarūpa Dāmodara Calls the Food Nectar
“Svarūpa Dāmodara said, “You eat such nectar every day, but you never offer it to us. What is your character?””
What the purport teaches
- Svarūpa Dāmodara described Raghunātha dāsa’s food as “nectar.”
- He remarked that Raghunātha ate it every day but never offered it to them.
- Following his smile and his tasting of the food, the question “What is your character?” reads as affectionate teasing.
