Why Worship Feels Incomplete Without Prasad

Worship and fasting have special importance in Hinduism, but one thing is the most special in all these religious rituals, Prasad. Often the question arises that why is any worship considered incomplete without Prasad? According to religious experts, Prasad is not just an object of enjoyment, but a blessing of God, which brings blessings and positivity in life.

Prasad means God's grace
'Prasad' in Sanskrit means 'grace' or 'anugraha'. When we offer any food item to God with full devotion and purity, it becomes 'Prasad' instead of ordinary food. It is believed that God accepts it and fills it with his divine energy. This is the reason why accepting Prasad is not just a tradition, but a medium to connect directly with God.

Symbol of positive energy and dedication 
Offering Prasad is a symbol of our dedication and gratitude. It shows that we are grateful to God for everything we have received in life. In the form of Prasad, we offer not just food but our emotions. According to religious beliefs, the positive energy present in Prasad purifies our mind and body and makes us spiritually strong.

Message of equality and unity in Prasad 
After the puja, Prasad is distributed among all the devotees, irrespective of their class or community. It gives the message of equality and unity. Accepting Prasad not only brings God's grace, but also makes us realize that we are all one and there is no one big or small in the eyes of God.

In conclusion, the next time you accept Prasad in a puja, do not consider it just a sweet dish, but consider it a blessing of God which brings happiness, peace and blessings in your life. This is why every puja is incomplete without Prasad.
