Prasadam Distribution
The Bhagavad-gita, spoken by Lord Krishna, emphasizes the sacred act of offering: “Whatever you do, whatever you eat, whatever you offer or give away, and whatever austerities you perform—do that, O son of Kunti, as an offering to Me.” Eating food is one of the most fundamental needs of life. Modern science acknowledges the significant impact food has on our physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Yet, the transcendental nature of food is often overlooked.
The Vedas introduce us to prasadam, meaning the mercy of God. Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu describes the extraordinary nature of prasadam, “Everyone has tasted these material substances before, but now these same ingredients have taken on extraordinary flavours and uncommon fragrances.”
Prasadam is food that has been lovingly offered to the Supreme Personality, Lord Krishna. When accepted by Krishna, the food is purified and becomes no different from Him. Eating prasadam is considered the pinnacle of vegetarianism and a pathway to the highest spiritual realization.
Distribution of Prasadam
Prasadam distribution is a key activity at the temple, reflected in its vibrant prasadam stalls. A dedicated team ensures cleanliness, quality, and preparation of food. Items are cooked with care in well-maintained kitchens, offered to the Lord, and then shared with thousands of daily visitors as prasadam.
The temple’s food laboratory experiments with diverse recipes, adapting global cuisines to the Vaishnava style of cooking. With nearly 1,200 meticulously researched recipes, the temple’s cuisine blends unique tastes and flavors. Regular quality checks ensure only the finest food is offered to Krishna.
The temple showcases the possibilities of sattvic vegetarian cuisine through its prasadam stalls, offering a variety of foods, including sweets, juices, and cakes. From traditional recipes to modern dishes, prasadam caters to diverse tastes.

Encouraging people to consume Krishna prasadam to nourish their spiritual intelligence remains the ultimate goal. To attract varied preferences, the temple prepares prasadam dishes appealing to different palates. The Higher Taste restaurant provides a refined dining experience, reviving ancient Indian cooking techniques for modern tastes. With elegant décor, the restaurant offers both antiquity and spirituality in harmony.
