IYF Update



IYF Delhi is planning to acquire a vehicle which will help in quickly and economically transport devotees across various locations in and around Delhi. Already 4.7L have been pledged by the earning IYF members.

Tata Winger has been proposed as a viable option.

Some contributors have generously donated 50 thousand to even 1 lakh rupees.

Contributing their hard earned money for propagating Krishna Consciousness has been authorised in Vedic Scriptures as well.

Bhagavad Gita Chapter 12, Verse 11.

Translation
If, however, you are unable to work in this consciousness of Me, then try to act giving up all results of your work and try to be self-situated.

Purport (by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada)
It may be that one is unable even to sympathize with the activities of krsna consciousness because of social, familial or religious considerations or because of some other impediments. If one attaches himself directly to the activities of krsna consciousness, there may be objections from family members, or so many other difficulties. For one who has such a problem, it is advised that he sacrifice the accumulated result of his activities to some good cause. Such procedures are described in the Vedic rules. There are many descriptions of sacrifices and special functions of punya, or special work in which the result of one's previous action may be applied. Thus one may gradually become elevated to the state of knowledge. It is also found that when one who is not even interested in the activities of krsna consciousness gives charity to some hospital or some other social institution, he gives up the hard-earned results of his activities. That is also recommended here because by the practice of giving up the fruits of one's activities one is sure to purify his mind gradually, and in that purified stage of mind one becomes able to understand krsna consciousness.


All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.
All Glories to IYF Devotees
