HOW DOES KRISHNA EAT OUR OFFERINGS?

SRILA PRABHUPADA SAYS:

“The Isopanisad states: “The Supreme Lord walks and does not walk. He is far away, but He is very near as well. He is within everything, and yet He is outside of everything."

How can Krsna walk and also not walk? As a crude example, consider how the sun at noontime shines on your head. Now, if you begin walking, you will see that the sun is accompanying you.

Although Krsna is in Goloka Vrndavana enjoying pastimes with His associates, He is simultaneously everywhere in this material world. In this way the Supreme Lord "walks and does not walk."

If Krsna were not present here as well as in Goloka, how could He accept the food the devotees offer Him? Don't think that Krsna does not accept the devotees' offerings. He can stretch His hand immediately if one offers Him something with devotion.

In the Bhagavad-gita (9.26) Krsna says, “tad aham bhakty-upahrtam asnami”: That means, "Whenever someone offers Me something with faith and love, I accept it."

People may ask, "Oh, Krsna is far away in Goloka Vrndavana. How can He eat your offering?

" Yes, He accepts it. Yes, He eats it--provided it is offered with love”.
