On the other hand, preparing simple and tasty vegetarian dishes, offering them in front of the image of Krishna or in front of his representation in the temple, bowing down and begging him to accept our humble offering, this is what allows us to progress steadily in life, to purify our body, to produce finer brain tissue, and therefore to clarify our thoughts.

But above all, the offering must be made in a feeling of love, for Krishna does not need food, He who already has all that Is. But He accepts the offering of anyone who wishes to please Him in this way. The dominant factor in the preparation, presentation and offering of such dishes, the main ingredient is love for Krishna, God, the Supreme Person.

In truth, Krishna, God, the Supreme Person has spiritual senses. It is said of his senses, that each of them can perform the functions of all the others. Hence the qualifier, Absolute, which is attributed to Him.

Also, by the simple fact of hearing the words of love pronounced by his devotee when he presents his offering to Him, He can truly eat, taste the food that is placed in front of Him. This is a very important point to understand, because Krishna is absolute, his sense of hearing can perform the functions of his sense of taste, the fact of hearing, for Him, is in no way different from the fact of eat or taste. But only the holy being who, without vain interpretation accepts Krishna as He describes Himself, can understand that the Absolute Truth [which is none other than Krishna Himself], can take food and be to delight in it.

It is necessary to adopt the vegetarian diet if we want to practice spirituality in its pure essence.

In truth, all spiritual practices aim at the purification of the being, and the nourishment must also contribute to this end. Our physical makeup and mental attitude are determined by our diet. Also, the original holy scriptures recommend to those who wish to become aware of Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, to honor the reliefs of the consecrated food which they will have previously offered to the Lord.

If we eat the food consecrated and previously offered to God, we will contract the consciousness of God.

As you can see, the Lord does not ask us to offer Him anything else. In truth, Krishna is a vegetarian. Being God, Krishna can eat whatever pleases Him. He tells us that we can offer Him with love and devotion, a leaf, a flower, a fruit, water, but He never asked us to offer Him meat, fish, eggs and wine.

The consecrated meal and first offered to God makes us immune to material defilement

During an epidemic, we vaccinate people to make them immune to the microbe. Likewise, when one takes food first offered to Lord Krishna, one can resist all attacks
