TO THE DIVINE

As part of practicing the presence of God in life, offering food to the Living Deity as 'Naivedhyam' is done as a sacred worship ritual on daily basis and during the Vedic festivals. Once offered to the Divine, this pure "nectarine food" is partaken by the devotees and shared with all as 'Mahaprasad' across all temples worldwide.
