Question: While offering bhoga I sometimes get late due to which my family members get irritated maybe because they are too hungry, or they need to take prasāda and go out for work. So, they tell me to hurry up and do some shortcut of this offering process. But I don’t know any shortcut bhoga offering process. I do as per you taught us. Bur generally it takes time, they become very impatient. It seems that instead of wanting to offer to Kṛṣṇa, they want to have it first.
Jayapataka Swami: Technically once the bhoga is offered to Kṛṣṇa, it can be taken. We usually wait till the whole process is finished. But if someone is in a hurry, as soon as the bell rings, that means Kṛṣṇa has already eaten. So, at that time they can take if they have to.
