Guest guest Report post Posted January 31, 2010 Dear Kumari ~ this is a lovely idea, but maybe you want to ask Swamiji about it, or the food bank. They might not want food that has been handled by someone else donated. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but if it were me, I'd check it out.

In the grocery stores there are collection areas for food for the needy in the area. I think I will put the rice back in its bag and put it in the collection area. Why shouldn't the prasad go to those who really need a blessing? In fact, I should be donating to the needy, anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
