== Hinduism ==
Hindus use the 24th verse of the 4th chapter of [[Bhagavad Gita]] as the traditional prayer or blessing before a meal. Once the food is blessed it becomes [[Prasad]], or sanctified as holy<ref>Butash, Adrian (1993)
<blockquote><poem>
</poem></blockquote>
Which translates as 'The act of offering is God (Brahma), the oblation is God, By God it is offered into the fire of God, God is That which is to be attained by him who sees God in all.'
Line 72 ⟶ 74:
Sometimes, the 14th verse from the 15th chapter of Bhagavad Gita is used:
<blockquote><poem>
}}
</poem></blockquote>
This translates as 'Becoming the life-fire in the bodies of living beings, mingling with the upward and downward breaths, I digest the four kinds of food.'<ref>Prayer before eating [http://www.sathyasai.org/devotion/prayers/brahmar.html International Sai Organisation]</ref>
Line 81 ⟶ 86:
Traditional Maharashtrian grace invokes the Lord through the shloka of Sant Ramdas namely:
<blockquote><poem>
{{lang|sa-Latn|vadani kaval gheta naam ghya shri-hariche l
sahaj havan hote naam gheta phukache l
jivan kari jivitva anna he purn-brahma l
Line 90 ⟶ 96:
harichintane anna sevit jaave l
tari srihari pavijeto swabhave ll 2 ll
}}
</poem></blockquote>
This translates as: Take the name of the Lord when putting a morsel into your mouth.
