In all the temples of Vrindavana or outside of Vrindavana, huge quantities of food are prepared in this ceremony and are very sumptuously distributed to the general population. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">Sometimes the food is thrown to the crowds, and they enjoy collecting it off the ground. From this we can understand that prasadam offered to Krishna never becomes polluted or contaminated, even if it is thrown on the ground. The people, therefore, collect it and eat with great satisfaction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">This is a section of the book \u201cVrindavana Lila\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">To buy the complete book,<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kadachaeditions.com\/art\/vrindavana-lila-english\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000; text-decoration: underline;\">click above<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; The sacrifice known as Govardhana-puja is observed in the Krishna consciousness movement.
