In Vaishanav families foods are first offered to deity of Krsna and then eaten in gratitude or honored as prasadam. Once Kedarnath dutt who was belonging to a Vaishanav family, brought mangoes from market. His child, Bimala Prasada inadvertently ate a mango which was not yet offered to Lord Krishna. When asked about this by his father, Bimala Prasada was so upset over this offense to Lord Krishna that he took a vow to never eat another mango throughout his life. Later on when the child grew up, he became a very great vaishanav yogi known as Srila Bhaktisidhanta Saraswati Thakur and spread the teachings of vedas to millions of people.
A perfect yogi never thinks of personal sense gratification but offers all sense objects in service of the Lord and accepts only His remnants and in this way he constantly meditates upon the Lord and naturally experiences detachment from sense objects.
B.G: 8.12 : The yogic situation is that of detachment from all sensual engagements. Closing all the doors of the senses and fixing the mind on the heart and the life air at the top of the head, one establishes himself in yoga.
