DRINKING CARANAMRTA:

 

Caranamrta is obtained in the morning while the Lord is being washed

before dressing.Scented with perfumes and flowers,the water comes gliding

down through His lotus feet and is collected and mixed with yogurt.In this

way this caranamrta not only becomes very tastefully flavoured,but also has

tremendous spiritual value.As described in Padma Purana,even a person who

has never been able to give in charity,who has never been able to perform a

great sacrifice, who has never been able to study the Vedas,who has never

been able to worship the Lord-or, in other words,even one who has never done

any pious activities-will become eligible to enter into the kingdom of God

if he simply drinks the caranamrta which is kept in the temple.In the temple

it is the custom that caranamrta be kept in a big pot.The devotees who come

to visit and offer respects to the Deity takes three drops of caranamrta

very submissively and feel themselves happy in transcendental bliss.
