Frequently Asked Questions

RASVRA prasadam is not just blessed, it is temple-sanctified with documented authenticity. Each offering begins its journey within the sacred walls of Kashi Vishwanath Temple, where it is blessed by priests who carry centuries of ritual knowledge. It is then crafted following strict satvik principles using only pure, temple-respected ingredients.

Unlike regular prasad you might receive at temple counters, RASVRA offerings are:

• 100% vegan and cruelty-free, honoring all life as sacred
• Lab-tested and FSSAI certified, ensuring complete hygiene and safety
• Free from refined sugar, palm oil, and artificial ingredients, made only with organic jaggery and natural components
• Crafted by trained artisans from Beggars' Corporation, ensuring your purchase creates dignified employment and social impact
• Personalized with your name, as your name is offered during the temple ritual before your box is prepared

Every RASVRA box carries not just blessings, but transparency, purity, and purpose.

Your blessing journey follows a sacred protocol:

Step 1: Name Offering When you place your order, your name (and lineage if provided) is documented and offered during the puja ritual at Kashi Vishwanath Temple by a trained Shastri.

Step 2: Temple Sanctification The prasadam ingredients and components are sanctified within the temple premises through traditional Vedic rituals that have been performed for centuries.

Step 3: Photographic Documentation For pre-launch orders, we provide photographic evidence of your personalized puja being performed, which is emailed to you as a keepsake.

Step 4: Artisan Crafting After temple blessing, the prasadam is handcrafted by trained artisans from Beggars' Corporation in hygienic facilities, maintaining ritual purity throughout the process.

Step 5: Final Assembly Each box is assembled with the reverence of preparing an offering for the divine, with your personalized temple blessing card included.

This is not mass production. This is sacred preparation with your devotion at the center.

The artisans behind RASVRA are individuals whose lives have been transformed through Beggars' Corporation, a social rehabilitation initiative founded by Mr. Chandra Mishra in Varanasi.

These are men and women who once begged at temple steps, invisible to society, unreached by opportunity. Through vocational training, skill development, and dignified employment, they have been empowered to become skilled artisans who now craft sacred offerings with pride and purpose.

When you purchase from RASVRA, you create:

• Stable, fair-wage employment for artisans and their families
• Vocational training opportunities that break cycles of poverty
• Education access for their children, creating generational change
• Dignity and social respect by transforming "charity recipients" into valued contributors
• A model of real seva, where empowerment replaces pity

Each artisan understands deeply what it means to receive prasadam when you need it most. Now, their hands prepare these blessings for devotees like you, and your purchase becomes part of their transformation story.

This is not charity. This is partnership. This is dharma in action.

Yes, dairy has been used in many traditional prasad recipes. But RASVRA asks a deeper question: Can devotion evolve without losing its sanctity?

Our vegan approach is rooted in ahimsa, the principle of non-violence that sits at the heart of dharma. In our tradition, every creature is sacred. The cow is revered as mother. The snake adorns Mahadev's neck. The creatures of creation are not separate from divinity, they are expressions of it.

Modern dairy production often involves practices that contradict the reverence our scriptures teach. Industrial farming, forced breeding, calf separation, and exploitation dishonor the very animals we call sacred.

RASVRA chose a different path:

• We use pure, plant-based ingredients that honor all life without compromise
• Our recipes follow satvik principles rooted in Ayurvedic wisdom and temple tradition
• We work with temple priests and traditional recipe keepers to ensure spiritual authenticity is maintained
• We prove that purity and compassion can coexist, that tradition can evolve without dilution

Many ancient satvik preparations were already plant-based: jaggery, coconut, tulsi, bel, cardamom, nuts, and sacred herbs. RASVRA honors this lineage while ensuring no life is harmed in the process.

Because when we worship Mahadev, we must honor all His creation.

RASVRA prasadam is crafted fresh in small batches to maintain maximum purity and potency.

Shelf Life: 2 months from the date of packaging

Storage Instructions:

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
• Keep the container tightly sealed after opening
• Refrigeration is not required but can extend freshness in hot, humid climates
• Avoid exposure to moisture or heat

No Preservatives. No Artificial Additives.

Our prasadam stays fresh naturally because we use traditional preparation methods and ingredients with inherent shelf stability: organic jaggery, roasted nuts, dried herbs, and cold-pressed oils. The absence of moisture and the natural antimicrobial properties of ingredients like tulsi, clove, and cardamom keep it pure without chemicals.

Best consumed: Within 45 days of opening for optimal taste and texture, though it remains safe for the full 2-month period.

Treat your prasadam as you would any sacred offering, with care, respect, and mindful storage.

Absolutely. RASVRA blessings are perfect for sacred occasions and meaningful gifting.

Ideal for:
