Guest guest Posted November 2, 1999 Report Share Posted November 2, 1999 By now you have all heard about the devastation in Orrisa. We have just contacted the Bhubanesvara Temple as the phone lines were out for the last four days. The devotees explained the situation is very bad and people are starving as there is no food or water. From the Bhubanesvara temple they have been sending out a van to distribute food for the last four days. The people are so ravished by hunger they literally attacked the truck. The temple president Prataparudra Prabhu has explained he can distrubute more prasadam but he needs funds. Here at the Bombay temple we are sending $5000 immediately and have started a fund raising drive. I appeal to all of you to send funds to help feed people prasadam this is really required. You can send your donations to Iskcon Juhu Mumbai 49 India along with your letter that your donation is for the emergency food relief effort in Orrisa. We will immediately transfer the funds to our temple in Bhubanesvar. Bombay devotees are also going to Bhubanesvar to help with the relief effort. When our devotees find out more we will let you know how to send funds directly to Bhubanesvar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
