Iskcon Devotee Running Charity For Home less " Newlife Society" - USIt takes courage to Organize such a Charity Event, I appreciate and proud of Maha Laksmi Dasi who is doing this event single handledly with the Mercy of Lord Krishna. Please read details and lets help Mataji Maha Laksmi on the Charity and Services which she is offering.Brief Summary - Maha laksmi Dasi - "Newlife Society" -Here's a summary of activities:"New Life society is currently giving out free meals, on the average of100 a week. We go to the Venice beach Boardwalk, and distribute organic salad, of which the ingredients have been donated by the local Farmers' Markets. We also get donations of bread and rolls, and include this in the meals. The people receiving this prasada are extremely grateful and amazed that they are being given, at no charge, something so healthy anduplifting to eat. What to speak that it is offered to Sri Radha and Krsna first.......We are currently putting together a grant proposal which will be requesting support for a housewherein 10 to 12 persons who want to rise above homelessness and become productive, responsible individuals once more can find support. We willbe offering the tools of yoga and meditation in this facility, as wellas vegetarian diet. Just today, I met with the owner and two co-workersof "Dancing Siva Yoga and Ayurveda".....they are very interested ingiving their support in terms of sending an instructor(s) to teach oncethe facility is open.Bhakti yoga will also be anextremely crucial part of the presentation to help persons start theirlife over, with a sense of dignity, honesty, and devotion to the Supreme Being. With the strength of the instruction from the ancient Vedas, I feel many persons who have lost their sense of purpose will regain their identity and their strength, and also find an inner meaning about their existence. This will be a project in which devotees from all sangas can participate with the mood of co-operation, love, and compassion for the jivas who have forgotten their true identity."Maha laksmi is currently bound by a promise she made to a godbrother whom she cared for until his departure from this world. Both Patatriraja (disciple ofA.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami) and his mother, Malini Devi Dasi (disciple ofSrila B.V. Narayana Maharaj) left this world under the care of Mahalaksmi. Her husband, Ramachandra, helped extensively as well. Patatriraj prabhu, a healer who often gave his treatments and herbs away free to those with limited resources, passed away ofbone and liver cancer, and his mother, at age 84, lived on for sevenmonths more, then parted this world peacefully in her sleep......havinghad less and less ability to breath due to a tumor in her lungs. She wasonly three feet away from Salagram Sila when she left. Your help inassisting with air fair for the execution of this mission/promise.....of bringing the ashes of these two devotees to the holy dhama, would be so greatly appreciated. Passport is already in order, and visa is being sent out this week (mid September).....now the next challenge is the air fare!All glories to Sri Vrndavan Dhama, and the lotus feet of all the pure devotees of the Lord! May your kindness in helping this mission bringall auspiciousness and fortune to your life. Whether your donation is in the amount of one dollar, or $108, or $1,000,008, the very act of caring to give something is so, so much appreciated. We should all be aware that the energy sent out by the mere THOUGHT of doing good for others is an energy which will change the karma of this planet. Hence, those who are not able to send monetary donations, we are so grateful for your prayers and positive thoughts toward the execution of the plans of New Life Society. With love and affection,Maha Laksmi Dasi, Ramachandra DasaDonations can be made by wire to: Wescom Credit Union, 5645 Sepulveda Blvd, Culver City, CA....USA... account for New Life Society.....bank account # is 751346018.(telephone for bank is 310 391 5049)Or the website has a PAYPAL button located on the donation page.
