JUST SEE THE JOY OF THESE CHILDREN AFTER GETTING KICHADI PRASAD…..
Dear Friends,
Hare Krishna, Hope you are well. My name is Sanak Sanatan Das. I am serving in ISKCON, Vrindavan in Food for Life. I am happy to inform you that we are distributing Kichadi Prasad for 500 poor children, widows and also temple’s visitors. Last Sunday, while I was coming from Delhi by train to Mathura at the station I was approached by a young boy and a young girl saying, “We are hungry, please be merciful upon us….!”
They both had torn clothes and scruffy hair and were thin, suffering from malnutrition. I felt compassion for them and I took out some Mahaprasad Laddus I had in my handbag and gave them. Both of them were very happy eating the Laddus and it reminded me of our Founder Acharya, Srila Prabhupada.
While Srila Prabhupada was at the ISKCON temple at Mayapur, West Bengal and looking outside his room, he saw that the village boys were so hungry that they were fighting with dogs for scraps of food. Srila Prabhupada was shocked to see this scene and was very sad. He told his disciples, “Just think how hungry these children must be? Temple means free food distribution. No one should go hungry within a ten mile radius from the temple. Start free food distribution for these people, by generous Prasadam and Sankirtan distribution the whole world can attain Prosperity and Peace.”
A similar incident took place a few weeks ago when one of our devotees was returning from a bath in the Yamuna River at Kesi Ghat. He came across two widows who were begging for food. The devotee bought some bananas and gave them and asked them to come to the temple for Kichadi Prasad which we have been serving at the temple since last 8 years for around 500 persons everyday. Both the widows came in the evening to the temple and upon taking Kichadi Prasad were very satisfied. You would have loved to see this with your very own eyes.
Taking inspiration from these two incidents I met the temple management committee and we decided to increase the Daily Kichadi Prasadam Distribution, so that the needy can take advantage of the Kichadi Prasadam. We wish to distribute Kichadi Prasadam daily for 1000 persons at the cost of Rs. 1.85 for each donna. The annual budget for feeding 365000 persons will be Rs. 6,75,995/-
Dear Friend, You are a very fortunate person of an intelligent caliber and you very well know that “Charity of food is the highest charity.(Annadhan Sresta Daan)”
Vishnu smriti says “Lakshmi, the goddesses of fortune, resides where those who are charitable.” Srimad Bhagavatam (10.22.35) also says “It is the duty of every living entity to perform welfare activities for the supreme and eternal benefit for others with one’s life, wealth, intelligence and words.”
So Dear Friend, with your compassion filled heart let the love and care for needy flow by making a crossed cheque/DD in the name of ‘ISKCON, payable at Vrindavan and write your full address, e-mail ID, mobile number and send it to the address given below by post/courier at your earliest convenience and acquire divine mercy. You can also pay by credit or debit card through online.
When you think of the wonderful way in which your generous contribution will help, then you shall experience the joy of doing something meaningful, worthwhile, and also the satisfaction of caring for others.
For your generosity and compassion we shall send you a Memorandum Gift Pack, Mahaprasadam and your Tax Exempt Receipt.
Thank you very much for helping the needy. Everyone who receives the Khichadi Prasad will thank you several times.
Thank you for taking time to read this mail.
Yours in the service of Lord Sri Krishna,
Sanak Sanatan Das,
Food Distribution Manager.
