Guest guest Posted March 2, 1999 Report Share Posted March 2, 1999 "I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU CAN EAT" Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya Offers Prasada to the Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu then said, "There is so much food here that it is impossible to eat." Bhattaracarya replied,"I know how much You can eat." "After all, at Jagannatha Puri You eat fifty-two times a day, and each time You eat hundreds of buckets filled with prasada." "At Dvaraka, You keep sixteen thousand queens in sixteen thousand palaces. Also, there are eighteen mothers and numerous friends and relatives of the Yadu dynasty." "In Vrindavana You also have Your father's elder brothers, Your father's younger brothers, maternal uncles, husbands of Your father's sisters and many cowherd men. There are also cowherd boy friends, and You eat twice a day, morning and evening, in the house of each and every one." "Indeed," Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya continued, "at the Govardhana-puja ceremony You ate stacks of rice. In comparison to that, this small quantity is not even a morsel for You." Cc. Madhya-lila, Ch.15, Texts 238-242 (Text COM:2130323) -------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
