Why we Offering Food To God ?

• Before sitting for food, the place is purified, a seat is put and in a leaf the articles of food are served. Before taking the food, a little water is sprinkled 

 

 

• This repetition purifies the food. Then a little water is sipped.

 

 

 

• According to science as well as medicine, a little water, if drunk before the food is taken, is highly beneficial.

 

 

• The person who takes the food offers it to the deities who dwell in the body in the form of Prana, Apana, etc. He does not eat for himself. The physical body is not the eater. It is the Pancha Prana that takes the food. Thus, taking food also can be converted into an act of Yoga or sacrifice.
