"Foods dear to those in the mode of goodness increase the duration of life, purify one’s existence and give strength, health, happiness and satisfaction. Such foods are juicy, fatty, wholesome, and pleasing to the heart." BG 17.8

does the prasadam from our temples have those 4 qualities?

CHANTING

“There is no vow like chanting the holy name, no knowledge superior to it, no meditation which comes anywhere near it, and it gives the highest result. No penance is equal to it, and nothing is as potent or powerful as the holy name. Chanting is the greatest act of piety and the supreme refuge. Even the words of the Vedas do not possess sufficient power to describe its magnitude. Chanting is the highest path to liberation, peace and eternal life. It's the pinnacle of devotion, the heart's joyous proclivity and attraction and the best form of remembrance of the Supreme Lord. The holy name has appeared solely for the benefit of the living entities as their lord and master, their supreme worshipful object and their spiritual guide and mentor. Whoever continuously chants Lord Krishna's holy name, even in his sleep, can easily realize that the name is a direct manifestation of Krishna Himself, in spite of the influences of Kali-yuga.”

- Bhaktivinoda Thakura

We sometimes inquire from our conscience. Conscience says, "No, don't do this." But still we do it. Still we do... That is our avidya. Because we do not know, in ignorance, in spite of the Supreme Soul, Supersoul is forbidding, "Don't do this," still, we shall do it. That is called anumanta. We cannot do anything without the sanction of the Supersoul, but when we insist that "I must do it," then He says, "All right, you do it, but you'll suffer your sequence. My word is, Supersoul order is, that 'You give up all this nonsense. Simply surrender unto Me. I will give you all protection.' " But no, that he'll not do.

„Dawniej, kiedy ludzie wędrowali przez świat pieszo, jechali na wierzchowcach albo płynęli statkami, podróż przyzwyczajała ich do zmiany. Obrazy ziemi przesuwaly się przed ich oczami wolno, scena świata obracala się ledwie - ledwie. Podróż trwała tygodniami, miesiącami. Człowiek miał czas, żeby zżyć się z innym otoczeniem, z nowym krajobrazem. Klimat też zmieniał się etapami, stopniowo.” [R. Kapuściński, Heban. Warszawa 1999, s. 71.]
