The sessions end with everyone coming together again for aarti, another type of devotional song, and prasad, which is usually a piece of fruit and chocolate. |
Not content with drawing an Indian map, messages and the like on the sugar cube, Prasad hit upon the idea of doing something quite bizarre. |
When he emerged a few minutes later, he had a tilak on his forehead and some prasad in his right hand. |
What the gods leave, prasad, is the purest food for man's spirit. |
I bowed to the priest, held out my right hand and received the prasad. |
When the temple is reopened, prasad is distributed in two forms. |
