Shri krishna Bhog Prasad: The festival of Janmashtami is celebrated in the joy of the birth of Lord Krishna. Shri Krishna Janmashtami will be celebrated on the Ashtami date of Krishna Paksha of Bhadrapada month. This time the festival of Krishna Janmashtami will be celebrated on 26 August, Monday.
After worshiping Lord Krishna at the time of his birth, bhog is offered to him with a pure mind. To offer bhog to God, it is necessary to have pure feelings in the preparation of Bhog Prasad.
According to mythological texts, God is hungry for Bhav Bhakti. Devotees who understand the importance of this devotional act also follow it. Offering bhog is a heartfelt way to express love and devotion to God. Whether you are an experienced seeker or new to this process, it is necessary for everyone to have pure feelings.
The bhog to be offered to Lord Krishna on the day of Janmashtami should be prepared with utmost purity. Trilasi leaves must be kept in the bhog. While offering bhog to God, this mantra should also be chanted with devotion. A glass of pure water must be offered along with the bhog.
Patraam pushpam phalan toyam yo me bhaktya prayachhati. That’s why Bhaktyupahritmashnami Prayatatmanah.
In the Shrimadbhagwadgita, Lord Krishna tells Arjuna that whatever a devotee offers to God with love and a pure heart, such as leaves, flowers, fruits, water etc., whatever he can, the Lord gladly accepts (eats) that offering. The meaning of this verse is that no offering is small or big before God – the Lord is hungry only for devotion.
Through this ancient tradition, you can follow the rules of devotion and service from the comfort of your home.
