The Sunday ‘Love Feasts’ was a term coined by Srila Prabhupada in the early days of the Hare Krishna movement in America. He would hold lunches once or twice a week, providing delicious Krishna prasadam to the entire hippie community of 26 Second Avenue, New York.
Love Feasts: Beginning of a sweet relationship
Krishna is the storehouse of pleasure. The food that is offered to the Lord becomes non-different from Him. When someone eats such sanctified food, free of all karmic reactions, they feel a great sense of satisfaction immediately. This sweet hook brings back many souls again to the prasadam, and in the time being, they become devotees of the Lord.
What started from a small storefront in New York, where Srila Prabhupada first gave the taste of the plethora of Indian-vegetarian preparations to the world, is now a global phenomenon. Today, the Sunday Love Feast is celebrated worldwide, where anyone, regardless of their faith, honours Krishna’s mercy with the chanting of Hare Krishna Maha-mantra.
The culture of providing sumptuous lunches to everyone is popular throughout the world. Every ISKCON community, wherever they may be, keeps a love feast on Sundays. Millions of people have received Krishna’s direct mercy by honouring delicious prasadam.
ISKCON at its core is an institution that promotes pure devotional service towards Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
