All gate proceeds from the 15th Annual Festival of India this Saturday in

Spanish Fork will be sent to the New York Firefighters Fund. The devotees

at the Krishna temple have asked local firefighters from Utah County to man

the festival¹s entrance booth, collect the $2.00 adult, $1.00 children

admission fee and forward the total to the Firefighters Fund. Last year an

approximate 4,000 adults and children attended the Festival of India.

 

The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), known as the

Hare Krishna movement, a Vaishnava Hindu faith, condemns the terrorist

attacks that took place in Washington D.C., and New York City, on September

11th. We offer our sympathy and prayers of support to the victims, their

loved ones, and all those affected by these terrible acts.

 

Horrendous violence between people has become epidemic in today's world.

Now, sadly, the horror of terrorism has struck deeply in America

 

While the search for perpetrators of these heinous crimes is conducted, it

is important to not slide into the frenzy of hatred that feeds such

violence. America is a nation of laws, and it seeks to lead the world by

upholding standards of justice and freedom. Remembering that the actions of

a few are not representative of the beliefs of an entire group, care need be

taken to avoid stereotyping any religious or ethnic group.

 

"We pray to the Lord, who is the Supreme Father and Friend of all humanity,

that the hatred, racism and sectarianism that feeds such violent attacks

against innocent people of all nationalities will cease, " said Anuttama

Dasa, ISKCON Governing Body Commissioner and Director of Communications.
