LC MAHAPRABHU was a strict renunciate in Puri–then why did HE consume stored prasadam for 100 men ??–HDGSP recites this extrordinary lila—–

Prabhupada: Yes. It is for the devotee. A devotee can eat, as Caitanya Mahaprabhu was eating. Govinda, His servant, complained, “Sir, so many things are lying here, and everyone asks, ‘Whether Caitanya Mahaprabhu has taken my preparation?’ ‘Oh, yes, He has taken.’ So I have to speak so many lies. You don’t take. What can I do?” He said, “All right, bring it. Bring it.” So He began to eat for one hundred men’s foodstuff stocked. He finished. Then He asked, “Any more?” So now only the bags are there. Everything finished. [laughs] So He ate everything, one after another, one after another, one after another. “All right. Bring, bring, bring.” So He can eat. We cannot.
