The Temporary Hospice Fund Is Working

We need $1 or $5 from each of you

Sep 15, USA— The Temporary Vrndavan Hospice Fund is working. We have already begun sending monthly funds and supplies to Vrndavan for the care of Kusakrata Prabhu. We have been in contact with Vaishnavas Care (Sangita Prabhu) and have given her my official word that any unused funds will go into her capable hands towards the eventual permanent hospice already being built in Vrndavan.

For now, these funds will allocate a few rooms, nurses, doctor, food, shelter, and other incidentals for devotees transitioning in Vrndavan by choice or by premature death during their pilgrimage. I am in contact with several capable hands-on devotees in Vrndavan who are doing the groundwork there.

The magic number is 340 (only because that is the number of centers ISKCON has around the world). Anything multiplied by 340 (+/-) is a lot in Vrndavan.

The accounting in the West is being handled by Ujjvala Devi in New Dvarka. The accounting in Vrndavan is being handled by Vishaka Priya Prabhu. The groundwork is being handled by Krsna Kumari Prabhu, and the actual care for Kusakrata Prabhu is being handled by Baladeva Prabhu.

And Jayalalita of www.VRNDA.org will be helping us with her non-profit to properly distribute the funds in accordance with the IRS 501(c)3 regulations of non-profits. I would like to thank those devotees and all our donors that are helping to set this into motion.

The donation base is being slowly populated by small pledges, which will in the end be sufficient to give tremendous aid and care to many of your Godbrothers and Godsisters passing on from Vrndavan.

Please help by making your pledge of $1, $5, or $12 (or more) by going to www.buddhiyoga.org/Hospice.

To see the donation base entries go to www.buddhiyoga.org/temp-hospice-accounting.htm

We need everyone to give, please. Please also pass this on.

On behalf of those passing on and those volunteering their time, we thank you.
