Response to the unsubstantiated and false statements of Smt Maneka Gandhi.
ISKCON has been at the forefront of cow and bull protection and care not just in India but globally.
The cows and bulls are served for their life not sold to butchers as alleged.
With your good wishes, since the lockdown, ISKCON has so far served 4 crore healthy meals through its 73 kitchens across India to low-income families & migrants.
We thank all the volunteers & supporters for coming forward & helping in this time of need.

devotees have started food relief programs in different parts of Ukraine. Standing outdoors in freezing temperatures, these devotees provide hot & nutritious meals to those in need. Many people who come to the counter are happy to have their first hot meal in days.
Keeping in mind the current situation, ISKCON has started a helpline for free food delivery for Senior Citizens, Pregnant Women & COVID patients who are based in South-West Delhi.
Will be expanding the program in the coming days to cover the entire city.

Letter from the Veterinary doctor regarding the Anantapur Govt Goshala that is maintained by ISKCON about which Smt Gandhi made the remarks.
The Goshalas serves 76 bulls and 246 non-milking cows along side milking cows with love and devotion.
Assessment of the local Member of Parliament and MLAs who are regular visitors to the Goshala should some more light on this matter. While Smt Gandhi has stated to have visited the Goshala, none of the workers or staff recollect seeing/meeting her.

. The devotees & volunteers of the Hungary Chapter have done commendable service by serving over 6000 fresh meals so far to Indian students who are in Hungary enroute to India. They are also helping others affected by the crisis.
Disturbing news coming in from Ukraine. Two ISKCON members, Krishna Tattva Das & Madan Gopal Das, who have been selflessly serving fresh food to those in need in the Donbas region passed away after missile attack on our Food For Life kitchen in Alchevsk, Lugansk region.
ISKCON has served 1.2 crore meals since the lockdown, yet I realized that we still have a long way to go to ensure that no one goes hungry.
Thank you for all your help and support so far and let's try to increase our service in the coming days.
Spoke with the senior management of Shemaroo & they were apologetic for the hurtful comments made by a 'stand-up comedian'.
They said they don't subscribe to such insensitive content targeting any religion. Video being removed from all their platforms.

At ISKCON's Govardhan Eco Village in Maharashtra, we have built two rain water harvesting units each of which saves 1 crore liters of water and caters to an entire village and its fields.
Inspired by PM talk, we are now constructing one more.
Revisiting this chart of Lord Brahma's life makes one wonder how infinitesimal we and our big plans are & our sky high egos actually mean nothing.
Ultimately, what matters is reviving our eternal relationship with Krishna.
Taking Krishna Bhakti to every town and village!
ISKCON's Padayatra program has been active for last 50 years & has covered the length and breadth of India several times.
Devotees travel on bullock carts distributing Bhagavad Gita, Prasad & Harinama in every village they pass.
Glad to welcome Param Pujya Vishwa Prasana Tirtha Swami Ji to ISKCON temple in New Delhi. He is the Acharya of the Pejawar Mutt in Udupi & Trustee of the Ram Janmabhumi Tirtha Kshetra.

Our prayers are with the family members of Rishi Kapoor.
In 1989 when Bhaktivedanta Manor was under threat of closure, he joined over 7000 campaigners on a sponsored walk to raise funds for the legal fees. He walked at the front and gave a rousing speech.
While this isn't the entire list of texts but it helps us get a sense of the vast ocean of knowledge and realization of countless Rishis that we could benefit from, provided we start reading them under qualified gurus.
We are feeding freshly made khichdi to over 800 people everyday with the support of ISKCON. Our Bandra East team today distributed khichdi in railway colony, ward 95 in Khar East.
