pradsadam distribution

[Guest guest]

"Giving classes and holding feasts is our preaching.

We should hold sankirtana as much as possible and

distribute prasadam. Gradually when their heart is

softened, then we will talk of philosophy, not in the

beginning."

 

Srila Prabhupada Letter to Tusta Krsna, 08-23-76

 

 

"This gratitude and love for God is exhibited by a

pure devotee, who knows that the Lord lives in every

living entity. As such, temple worship necessarily

includes distribution of prasada. It is not that one

should create a temple in his private apartment or

private room, offer something to the Lord, and then

eat. Of course, that is better than simply cooking

foodstuffs and eating without understanding one's

relationship with the Supreme Lord; people who act in

this manner are just like animals. But the devotee who

wants to elevate himself to the higher level of

understanding must know that the Lord is present in

every living entity, and, as stated in the previous

verse, one should be compassionate to other living

entities. A devotee should worship the Supreme Lord,

be friendly to persons who are on the same level and

be compassionate to the ignorant. One should exhibit

his compassion for ignorant living entities by

distributing prasada. Distribution of prasada to the

ignorant masses of people is essential for persons who

make offerings to the Personality of Godhead."

This is absolutely wonderful BUT

Can someone bring me a quote referring specifically to distribution

on the streets ("Food for Life") and not only in a temple program?

That would be grate!
