Home Base: ISKCON-Baroda

This evening we called a meeting of several leading supporters of ISKCON Baroda at the temple here. We informed them that we are ready to send our two vans, with a seating capacity of 25, filled with devotees and congregational volunteers to the devastated areas of Kutch and Saurastra within the next couple of days.

They decided that initially they would donate 80 (100 Kg) bags of rice, 25 kg of moong dal, vegetables, and 10,000 water pouches. These supplies would accompany our two vans in a 10 ton truck.  Joining in this endeavor will be ISKCON's Vallabh Vidyanagar center, located on the campus of the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University.

By Basu Ghosh Das

CHAKRA (Baroda, India) - August 24, 2000: On Wednesday, 23 August, 2000, the auspicious observance of Sri Krishna Janmastami was observed in a grand way by ISKCON at Hare Krishna Dham, Gotri Rd., Baroda. The Mandir was especially decorated both inside and without by flowers, balloons and lights. Crowd control arrangements by the management of ISKCON insured that the members of the public all had the change for a peaceful darshan on the auspicious day. Crowds queued up from the gate of the Mandir for almost 1/2 a kilometer onto the main Gotri Road.
