Yet he was willing to approach the U.S. government to get surplus food to be distributed to the poor. Do you think they gave the surplus food because it was going to be offered to Krishna and distributed without discrimantion to spiritualize society, or do you think they gave it to help the starving villagers in India? In otherwords, what do you think the concerned devotees said to the U.S. government representatives that they would do with the food? And did Prabhupada appreciate that these devotees had acquire the surplus food for prasadam distribution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
