Jayapataka Swami: We found in India that when you are guests people serve prasāda even if you don’t want! We heard that even if someone says they don’t want, they serve them any way! If they put their hand to block it, they still serve it. Only like a tiger if they roar, “NO! NO! then okay they don’t give!” So, in India, the hosts they force the prasāda on you. At the same time, we don’t want to waste we eat all the prasāda. Therefore, we have to learn to take the plate over or roar like a tiger!
