Posted July 8, 2005

The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) UK expresses its deep regret and sympathy to all those who were injured and bereaved by the appalling terrorist attacks across London.

Lord Krishna devotees across the United Kingdom are deeply saddened by the terrorist atrocities which have brought havoc to the City of London, claiming innocent lives and injuring scores of commuters.

His Grace Praghosa dasa, the Governing Body Commission and leader of ISKCON UK said in a statement: "Terrorism is an abomination that threatens the lives of all, irrespective of their culture, race, religion or creed. It is important that during times of such barbarism the people and leaders of all faiths stand shoulder to shoulder and defeat ungodliness."

"We pray that peace will come to those whose lives have been affected by such acts, and we offer our closeness at such difficult times," he continued.

Issued on behalf of the ISKCON (UK) by Hari-dhama dasa, National Communications Director.
