Assistance for Widows and Pilgrims
- Widows, pilgrims, and the dying who are left in Vrindaban are given help according to their needs.
- The cost of wood for cremation has become too expensive for many of the poor, and we provide burial rites
according to their individual religion for those left alone to die.
- Many traditionally come to die in this sacred region.
- They have nothing other than what they get through begging. When they collect a little extra money, they
ask to borrow our cooking pots and some cooking fuel. They cook for the poor and distribute a hot meal to those
in need. It is very touching to see this in today's world, where so many people with so much more just walk by
the dying and suffering. Many days when they only have a very small amount of food, you still see them sharing
with the stray animals.
