Bhoga Offering Mantra
Prasadam, which literally means “mercy,” nourishes the body, mind, and soul. It can liberate anyone from material bondage and bestow krishna- prema, love of Godhead. Prasadam is so powerful because food offered to the Lord becomes transformed into a spiritual substance nondifferent from Him.
Bhog mantra has to be recited 3 times before offering food to God. Offerings have to be kept with God for at least 10 to 15 minutes.
Use exclusive utensils to offer bhog to God. you should not be using that utensils for yourself.
Put Tulsi leaves on the bhog preparations on each plate. If possible, place Tulsi leaves on each preparation. Bhog won't be accepted by lord if Tulsi leaves are not put on offerings.
