Lotusflower 0 Report post Posted December 20, 2008 Hare Krishna, I always hear devotees say, you should always respect Prasdam be it, from Iskcon devotees or Narayana Maharaja Camp. Though when I was in Rupa Sanatana Gaudiya Matha in Vrindavana, after the meal I saw many devotees throwing away the left-overs in a bin and then feeding it to the animals outside.

bija 0 Report post Posted December 20, 2008 Feeding the animals with prasadam (left-overs) is a good thing. I read this in one of the Goswami's writings some time ago. Sorry I cant recall where. This is considered prasadam distribution. Rather than throwing it in the bin with plastics and other unusable waste, why not put it in a compost and feed the worms, critters, and plant life.
