  • Mahaprasada is the food that was offered to the Lord. Maha-maha-prasada is the maha-prasada of the Lord that is offered to the pure devotee of the Lord.
  • If one accepts the remnants of maha-prasada, the soul goes straight to the abode of the Lord.
  • Pastime of Ramanuja Acarya’s maha-maha-prasada that transformed the lizard into a demigod after ingesting it.
  • Even those who do not have sukrti (spiritual merit), do not have faith in the Deity, in the holy names and in the Vaisnavas, if they accept mahaprasada, the benefit will come.
