ISKCON Nashik Prasadam

Every person who visits ISKCON Nashik is offered prasadam which consists of either halava, multi-grain kichari, hot meal, etc. — all prepared with devotion and offered to Sri Sri Radha Madan Gopal before distribution.

Prasadam is not ordinary food. It is spiritually purified food that has been offered to the Supreme Lord. By honouring prasadam, one receives spiritual benefit and purification of the heart.

History

Origins of Food for Life

1974

Origins of Food for Life

A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami, shocked upon seeing village children in Mayapur fighting with street dogs over scraps of food, told his disciples: "No one within ten miles of a temple should go hungry… I want you to immediately begin serving food."

1970s

Expansion

ISKCON expanded its vision of prasadam distribution and developed the Food for Life program to target food distribution to the less fortunate. Special food distribution vehicles were purchased and daily delivery routes to low-income areas began.
