Re: Durga prasada

Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krishna! Jaya Shri Guru Parampara! Pranams!   A form of Durga devi known as Bhadra Kali does accept non-vegetarian offerings. But these are the forms of Durga presiding over the modes of tamo guna or ignorance.

Shrila Garuda, the Lord's personal carrier does accept non-veg food sometimes as seen in the his pastime with Saubhari Muni. And Shrila Yamaraja, another pure devotee of the Lord, inflicts great pains on the sinfuls souls in the hellish regions.

Since all of them are performing their functions directly under the guidance, permission and instructions of the Supreme Lord Gaura Krishna, they become immune to any apparent anamolies (even sinful acts) which occur during their services to the Lord. They are protected by the Lord directly in all circumstances. But obviously we cannot imitate such great devotees because we have not been ordered directly by the Lord to perform such functions.

Daaso'smi, Swami Gaurangapada.
