Mahaprasad

There's something special,

about making simple food,

into divine offerings. 


Mahaprasad...


Devotional offerings to deities, 

when shared among devotees,

creates a sacred space within. 


Following ancient traditions, 

using earthen pots & firewood,

and sold in temple premises.

Then there are times,

being freely distributed, 

to poor and needy.


Yet, here each morsel,

makes our heart content, 

while filling the stomach.

Limited spice & condiments,

having restrictions in elements, 

still brings magical taste.


Mahaprasad...


In those moments,

everyone comes together,

to partake in big gatherings. 

And I wonder, how special it is,

pure & sacred, these God's gifts,

letting us experience, soulful bliss!
