“There are many sick devotees. Old people and pregnant women, etc. are devastated in the surrounding villages so they are continuing relief work for them for some weeks.”

— JAYAPATAKA SWAMI

After the Flood
By Jayapataka Swami

CHAKRA (Mayapur, India) - The Deities are back in place. The temple room is dry. The devotees are busy cleaning and repairing. 

There are many sick devotees. Old people and pregnant women, etc. are devastated in the surrounding villages so they are continuing relief work for them for some weeks. 

Now the more expensive work of repairing all that was damaged and lost by the flood begins. This includes donating saris, blankets and dhotis to the poorest who have lost their belongings in the flood. Any help is something which would be highly appreciated. 

Our normal free prasadam distribution is increased and in previous years after a flood the number of people coming to eat increased many fold. 

This year there are many people coming for prasadam and shelter. Prasadam distribution will continue on an enhanced level.

Your servant,

Jayapataka Swami
