Re: Offerings to Lord Krishna
Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krishna! Jaya Shri Guru Parampara! Pranams! Yes, there are further instructions in the Gita itself. Please refer to the verses about the foods in the modes of goodness, passion and ignorance. Also there is a verse in the Shrimad Bhagavatam (dyutam paanam striyah sunaa yatraadharmas catur vidhah) which states that any kind of intoxicating addictives (paanam) whether in leaf form or liquid form or any other form are adharma, what to speak of offering them to the Lord.
I prefer to reply to previous post about different Shastras privately since we do not discuss or criticize direct or personal names of individuals, groups etc. on this forum. We cannot imitate our Acharyas, we have to strive to humbly follow in their footsteps according to our capacity.
Daaso'smi, Swami Gaurangapada.
