BG 3.14 purp. >Judging by this definition, the wretched residents of Grozny, Chechnya, who ate excusively prasadam (as their only daily meal) and were attached to it to the point of tears, were not just devotees, but paramahamsas. :-) Prabhuji, where in this quote you have cited does it say anything about paramahamsa status, which is so difficult to achieve? We should not confuse a devotee taking prasada with being a paramahamsa. That title is reserved for the loftiest of transcendentalists, like Prabhupada and Sukadeva Gosvami.
