Hare Krishna,

 

regarding Tsunami and Srila Prabhupada´s quotes, I found the following very

valuable quite of Bhaktivinoda Thakura:

 

Bhaktivinoda Thakura on Charity

 

"Those who think that devotion to God and kindness to the jivas

are mutually different from each other,

and perform accordingly in their life,

such persons will not be able to follow the devotional culture.

Their performance is only a semblance of devotion.

 

"Therefore, all the types of beneficence to others, like kindness,

friendliness, forgiveness, charity, respect, etc. are included in Bhakti...

Charity of medicines, clothes, food, water, etc.

shelter during adversities, teaching of academic and spiritual education,

etc.

are the activities included in the devotional culture"

(Bhaktivinoda Thakura, Sri Tattva-sutram, 35)

 

 

your servant

Sita dd.
