PN Prasad Posted June 8, 2003 Report Share Posted June 8, 2003 On June 7th, the President of India, Dr.Abdul Kalam and Karnataka Chief Minister S.M. Krishna visited ISKCON Bangalore. I watched the news that evening and I can summarize as follows: 1) He (President) offered obeisances to Lord Radha Krishna, Lord Chaitanya, Narasimha Deva and Srinivasa Govinda. 2) He offered a beautiful garland to Srila Prabhupada. 3) He served food to 200 poor children from Bangalore rural schools. 4) He inagurated the 'Kids for Kids' programme under the Akshaya Patra programme, wherein a rich kid will sponsor food for poor children in various schools. 5) He appreciated the devotees for holding such a nice programme under which they serve food to 43,000 school children daily. 6) He also said that the number will increase to 1,00,000 children daily. The devotees are trying to increase the food distribution to 2,50,000 by 2005.
