Scented with perfumes and flowers, the water comes gliding down through His lotus feet and is collected and mixed with yogurt. In this way this cara\u1e47\u0101m\u1e5btam not only becomes very tastefully flavored, but it also has tremendous spiritual value. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana\"><span style=\"font-size: small\">It is described in the Padma Pur\u0101\u1e47a that even a person who has never been able to give in charity, who has never been able to perform a great sacrifice, who has never been able to study the Vedas,who has never been able to worship the Lord-or, in other words, even one who has never done any pious activities-if he simply drinks the cara\u1e47\u0101m\u1e5btam which is kept in the temple, he will become eligible to enter into the kingdom of God.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana\"><span style=\"font-size: small\">In the temple it is the custom that the cara\u1e47\u0101m\u1e5btam be kept in a big pot. The devotees who come to visit and offer respects to the Deity very submissively take three drops of cara\u1e47\u0101m\u1e5btam and feel themselves happy in transcendental bliss.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana\"><span style=\"font-size: small\"><i>(Nectar of Devotion, Chapter 9)<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana\"><span style=\"font-size: small\"><b>NOTE INGREDIENTS:<\/b> Water which has washed the Lord mixed with yogurt and seeds of Tulsi tree<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 #SunEdit<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Become Eligible to Enter into the Kingdom of God &nbsp; BY: SRI VRINDAVAN DAS &nbsp; Bhaktivedanta Book Trust Jun 12, 2016 \u2014 SRIDHAM MAYAPUR (SUN) \u2014 &nbsp; Srila Prabhupada&#8230;&#8221;There is this specific statement in the Padma &hellip; <a class=\"kt-excerpt-readmore\" href=\"https:\/\/www.isvara.org\/archive\/become-eligible-to-enter-into-the-kingdom-of-god\/\" aria-label=\"Become Eligible to Enter into the Kingdom of God\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":40,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21985","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-english"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-24 06:07:15","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.isvara.org\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21985","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.isvara.org\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.isvara.org\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.isvara.org\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/40"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.isvara.org\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21985"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.isvara.org\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21985\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.isvara.org\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21985"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.isvara.org\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21985"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.isvara.org\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21985"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
