Re: Durga prasada

Nityaananda! Gauraanga! Hare Krishna! The reference in Shrimad Bhagavatam is given below where Goddess Kali began to drink the hot blood of the beheaded thieves:

SB 5.9.18: Intolerant of the offenses committed, the infuriated goddess Kali flashed her eyes and displayed her fierce, curved teeth. Her reddish eyes glowed, and she displayed her fearsome features. She assumed a frightening body, as if she were prepared to destroy the entire creation. Leaping violently from the altar, she immediately decapitated all the rogues and thieves with the very sword with which they had intended to kill Jada Bharata. She then began to drink the hot blood that flowed from the necks of the beheaded rogues and thieves, as if this blood were liquor. Indeed, she drank this intoxicant with her associates, who were witches and female demons. Becoming intoxicated with this blood, they all began to sing very loudly and dance as though prepared to annihilate the entire universe. At the same time, they began to play with the heads of the rogues and thieves, tossing them about as if they were balls.

Shrila Prabhupada means that generally Kali may not accept it, but in some cases she does too.

Daaso'smi, Swami Gaurangapada.
