Prayers before honoring the Prasadam:

(1)
bhai-re!
sarira avidya-jal, jodendriya tahe kal,
jive phele vishaya-sagore
ta’ra madhye jihva ati, lobhamoy sudurmati,
ta’ke jeta kathina samsare

(2)
krishna bado doyamoy, koribare jihva jay,
swa-prasad-anna dilo bhai
sei annamrita pao, radha-krishna-guna gao,
preme dako caitanya-nitai

Translation:

1) O brothers! This material body is a network of ignorance, and the

senses are one’s deadly enemies, for they throw the soul into the ocean
of material sense enjoyment. Among the senses, the tongue is the most
voracious and verily wicked; it is very difficult to conquer the tongue in
this world.

2) O brothers! Lord Krishna is very merciful—just to control the

tongue He has given us the remnants of His own food! Now please eat
these nectarean grains while singing the glories of Their Lordships Sri
Sri Radha and Krishna, and in love call out “Caitanya! Nitai!”
