offer to guru first

In Volume Two of Prabhupada Nectar, His Holiness Satsvarūpa dasa Gosvami describes the mood in which Srila Prabhupada gave out prasada. "He liked to give prasada from his hand, and everyone liked to receive it. It was not just food, but the blessings of bhakti, the essence of devotional service. Srila Prabhupada gave out prasada happily, calmly, and without discrimination. When he gave to children, they liked the sweet taste of it, in the form of a cookie or sweet-meat, yet also they liked it as a special treat from Prabhupada, who sat on the vyasasana [seat of the spiritual master] leaning forward to them. Women liked it because they got a rare chance to come forward and extend their hand before Prabhupada. They felt satisfied and chaste. And stalwart men came forward like expectant children, sometimes pushing one another just to get the mercy from Prabhupada. To Prabhupada it was serious and important, and he would personally supervise to make sure that a big plate was always ready for him to distribute... Although now prasada distribution in the Krsna consciousness movement is done on a huge scale, as Prabhupada desired, it all started from his own hand, as he gave it out one-to-one."    (More...)
