The Lord Praises Raghunātha’s Prasādam

“Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu said, “Of course, every day I eat varieties of prasādam, but I have never tasted such nice prasādam as that which Raghunātha is eating.””

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Antya 6.324, translation

What the purport teaches

  • Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu said that He ate varieties of prasādam every day.
  • Nevertheless, He said He had never tasted such nice prasādam as Raghunātha was eating.
  • Although Svarūpa Dāmodara had called the food unfit for Him, the Lord expressed His delight in it.

Try this today

When taking prasādam today, pause to appreciate it rather than looking for variety.

Ask yourself

How does the Lord’s praise invite you to reconsider judging prasādam by variety alone?

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

The study points are short summaries drawn from Śrīla Prabhupāda's translation and purport; the practice and question are plain words for trying the verse today.
