Prasadam Sharing Experiences - 1

8:40-9:00PM, EST

I have a habit of witnessing "Ekantha Seva" daily at S.V.Temple, Cary, NC (Sri Varu Sannidhi) at 8:40PM and obtained so many experiences every day. I would like to share one of the best moments.

@9:15PM - One of the festive day, the Ekantha Seva time has extended to 9:15 PM for Devotees Darshan. Once Darshan (Curtain) was closed, I was helping to close the temple Doors.

Suddenly, one of the Devotees came inside the temple and feeling disappointed for not having Sri Varu (Lord Balaji) Darshanam. I was clueless, started thinking of a way to make her happy. Once she stepped out of the temple, immediately noticed "Banana Prasadam" in my hand which was given by Priest.

Immediately called her and offered the same "Banana Prasadam" and I could see happiness in her eyes.

The next minute felt like, receiving more bananas as prasadam just by giving one Banana Prasadam to her. Amazing feeling and by giving to her I could also attained so much happines and which can not be expressed

Immediately remember this slogan, "Givers really are happier than takers"

Age old Concept : What goes around comes around

Happiness and happiness-related brain activity also went up when actually giving, the research team found, and left givers in a happier overall state than those who acted selfishly. Interestingly, relatively small acts of giving gave rise to just as big a happiness bump as bigger acts, the investigators said

2018 - Krishna Janmashtami Prasdam experience

Sunday 2nd September 2018 @9:15PM

Sunday (2nd September 2018) @9:00PM witnessed Ekantha seva and felt Blessed on the Krishna Janmashtami day. Priest invited me to his house to take Krishna Janmashtami eve prasadam. Felt like this is invitation from Krishna on such an auscipicous day.

Priest offered me the prasadam with a lot of love and affection which made me eat till the neck. I was unable to breathe and came home with heavy stomach and unable to sleep.

I decided to meditate and was able to do it for 45 minutes. Amazingly started experiencing how food / rice grainstravels in Esophagus (like water in Water pipes). After 45 minutes of meditation stomach felt light and was able to breathe comfortably. That was the first time I was able to experience such thing and unable to get the same till now. Thanks to Supreme Lord for giving me such a wonderful experience. Felt really satisfied (సంతృప్తి).

Brief Notes how food goes inside:

The hand that gets the food from your plate doesn’t keep the food with it. It passes onto mouth. The mouth takes it to the throat. The throat doesn’t hold the food there, but passes it onto Esophagus. Then it gets carried down to stomach,small intestine and large intestine. Ultimately, food gets broken down as it needs to and where it needs to. While the entire process is important, observe that none of the parts hold on to the food. They pass it on to where it needs to go.
