Naivedyam... can the Vedic brahmins eat the remnants ?

Some friend who had read about the post on not eating naivedyam offered to God by some pious brahmins and was seeking some clarification..

My reply is

The direction that Naivedyam should not be eaten is for the Vedic Brahmins who keep agni and perform many vedic rituals..because, in that process, they invoke God in themselves and even their eating is just like doing naivedyam to the Brahmam or Yajnapurusha..

So they can eat only pure food which is not offered to anyone else..

For Vaishnavas, it is prescribed that anything eaten should be offered to Narayana.. So they eat naivedyam alone

Brahamins like us who just lead an ordinarily pious life but could not follow the strict Vedic way and do not do agni karyams daily, need not hesitate about eating food offered already to god as naivedyam..

It is not the naivedyam that stands in the way, but the special rituals daily performed by the old elders, which we do not perform these days..

So we can do the next best, we can offer the food to God, and He blesses it and we can definitely eat it..
