Guest guest Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Hare Krishna. Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! When we perform yajna for the pleasure of the Lord, than on the end of yajna we do Purna Ahuti, the last offering, to please the Lord (or/and Agni) as we commit some mistakes dew to our imperfect senses. This offering is meant to complete the yajna by brining complete satisfaction to the Lord. This bananas, Tulasi, and other ingredients are to please the Lord. And if was offered in this way, should be prasadam after. On the other hand, if it was offered to Agni by mishra bhaktas, who believe, that they put in it half of their karma, instead of love, than it can be not exactly prasadam. Best, if it is properly explaned by the preast in the begining of ceremony. > Hare Krishna, > > I have a question, which may be has been answered a number of times, and I > would be thankful if somebody could provide me with the reference. > > When yajna is performed (like for initiation ceremony not some special > yajna) and bananas are thrown into the fire at the end, are they > considered a prasadam (of Visnu) or they are considered a karma, which was > meant to be burned? > > I mean, can devotees take those bananas from fire after yajna and eat > them?
