Lord Caitanya's Childhood Pastimes
159
PURPORT
According to the system of worship, when something is offered to deities outside one's home, it is generally not cooked food, but raw rice, bananas and sweetmeats. Out of His causeless mercy, the Lord would snatch the offerings from the girls and eat them, admonishing the girls not to worship the demigods but to worship Him. This worship of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu is recommended in the  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam :
kṛṣṇa-varṇaṁ tviṣākṛṣṇaṁ sāṅgopāṅgāstra-pārṣadam yajñaiḥ saṅkīrtana-prāyair yajanti hi sumedhasaḥ
"One should worship the Supreme Personality of Godhead who appears in this age of Kali with His associates as Pañca-tattva: the Lord Himself and His associates Nityānanda Prabhu, Śrī Advaita Prabhu, Śrī Gadādhara Prabhu and Śrīvāsa Thākura. In this age, an intelligent person worships the Pañca-tattva by the method of chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa  mahā-mantra  and, if possible, distributing  prasāda ." ( Bhāg.  11.5.32) Our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is introducing this bona fide method of worship in the western world. Its members are going from village to village and town to town with Deities of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu, teaching people how to worship the Lord by chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa  mantra , offering  prasāda  and distributing it to people in general.
