Food Prayer

Sri Swami Vishwananda wishes that we start from now on our food prayer with the following verse...: 

Maha Prasade Govinde

Nama Brahmani Vaishnave

Svalpa Punya Vatam Rajan

Visvaso Naiva Jayate

(O king, for those who have amassed 
very few pious activities, 

their faith in maha-prasada,in Sri Govinda, 
in the Holy Name and in the Vaisnava is never born.)

...followed by the food prayer which we do already: 

Brahmar panam Brahma Havir

Brahma gnau Brahmanaa hutam

Brahmaiva Tena Ghantavyam

Brahma karma Samadhina

(The whole creation being the gross projection of Brahman,

the Cosmic Consciousness itself; the food too is Brahman,

the process of offering it is Brahman; it is being offered in the fire of Brahman.

He who thus sees that Brahman is action reaches Brahman alone.) 

Aham Vaishvanaro Bhutva 

Praninaam Dehamaa shritaha 

Pranapana Samayuktah 

Pachaam yannam Chatur vidham

(I, the Supreme Spirit, abiding in the body of living beings

as the Fire (Vaiswanara) in their stomach I am associated

with their Praana and Apaana, digest the four type of foods

(solids, fluids, semi-fluid and liquid) which they eat.)

Om - Shanti Shanti Shantihi

Shri Gurubhyo Namah Hari Om
