Hare Krishna dear Devotees, please accept my humble obeisances!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
When I did not had access to direct Devotee association and Temples my ONLY source of spiritual income was ISKCON Desire Tree web site.
---Thousands of Lectures
---Ebooks
---Discussions
---Blogs
...
So I am sure many of You also had and having such like experiences.
And I am sure there are still people who want IDT to survive for many, many years.
In order web site continue to survive and serve to people it needs to be supported also, doesn't it?!
Here is the list of some main expenditures of the web site: http://www.iskcondesiretree.net/page/donate-to-iskcondesiretree
If we - thousands of us could give at least 100 - 300 Rs per month we could maintain it.
True knowledge should not be sold for money. So web site is not selling anything for anyone other than making everything available free of cost to anyone in any part of the world.
But to show our gratitude and assist little bit we could spend some of our coins to IDT, couldn't we?!
So that people who are doing seva on IDT basically be focused on doing their selfless service rather than worrying about basic needs, aren't they?!
I felt uncomfortable to ask something from all of You! But still I hope many of You will take it seriously!
Thank You so much!

Hare Krishna dear Devotees, my humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Whenever You make donations to the bank account given above please make sure You inform Vaishnava Seva Prabhu at vaishnavasevadasa@gmail.com
So that we could collect them and use them for iskcondesiretree web sites.
Thank You!
If You want to keep Your name anonymous then You can just mention it.
Your servant,
Dear Rohit Prabhu,
please use whatever here on IDT for free. Nobody is forcing for money.
Donation is a thing which is given with desire to help. It should not be taken forcibly, isn't it?!
Just be happy!
Your servant,
Hare Krishna mataji,
if every devotee in this website pays 100rs per month will it suffice?
my humble obeisances Prabhu,
The link of expenditures is already given. Please refer to that if some information is needed!
Again donation is a thing when one does charity with selfless desire and understanding to help.
Krishna says patram, puspam, phalam toyam...But He does not say give me only fruit or flower if You Yourself have fruits, flowers...i mean being a billionaire to offer to Krishna a Ruppee, isn't it?!
If one eats cake but offers to Krishna wheat roti...
Everyone does it according to one's own capacity, doesn't he/she?!
Be it 100 Rs or 100 $.
Thank You for Your interest!

Each ISKCON Temple has separate financial department Prabhu.
Each Temple should manage with their donations. Some Temple does not depend on other Temple.
So ISKCON is an organization but each Temple, farm, cafe...have separate financial issues.
And ISKCON Desire Tree is also separate from other Temples. None of Temples give money.

I want to tell this to ADMIN of IDT that please add some more third party for making payments .
I have came to know that PAYPAL accepts MASTER CARDS of only 2 or 3 Indian Banks ,
in India most of us have MASTER CARD and if some site supports Indian Banks Master Card ,then payment option would be easy , please look into the issue .
For eg in people having MASTER Cards of Indian Banks : Only Axis Bank and ICICI bank Master Cards are accepted by PAYPAL not any others , paypal also says this that they accepts some Master Cards,though they do not mention the names of Banks !
Hare Krishna !
Thank You Ashwani Kumar Prabhu for Your attempts.
Your request was sent to Vaishnava Seva Prabhu. Very soon he will arrange something.
You are right, for Devotees staying in India there should be some facility other than paypal.
