Thanks rohini108, i never knew about this festival. I will definately look into this. Thanks once again, may krsna bless you forever.

These widows are good simple vaisnavas. I saw a documentary once on these woman and in some cases even their sons have abandoned them, so they spend their last days in the dhaam. One lady I saw was very old, sleeping on the floor with a beautiful picture of Nitaai-Gaura.

 

It would be nice to assist the project that is caring for her:pray:.

Thank you for ur reply bija. I really appeciate it! Did you see the documentry named widows in india, i cant post the url, but you can search widows in india and you will find it.

thanks once again. may krsna bless you always.

I don't have the websites handy (although I can look them up if you like) but there are several projects in Vrndavana that are worthy options for those who have a little extra gink and would like to be of service: aid for the abandoned widows in Vrndavana, restoring the forests of Vrndavana, and restoring the Vraja kunds (over 100 of them.) Nice sukriti if you are so inclined towards that type of seva. I like the idea of helping the elderly in your short list. The Vrndavana widows would qualify in that category. There are also aging Vaishnavis (worldwide) who would like to retire in the Dhama but cannot do so without assistance.

Hello,

Thank you so much for ur wonderful reply. Actually the widows in vrindavan was on top of my list i dont know why it slipped through my mind, thanks for your suggestion again. I have seen a documentry on this and its really touching. I am hoping to visit vrindavan this yr (that is if krsna wants) and i will definately make it a point to donate as much as i can. Thank you once again. May krsna bless you forever!

Hello All,

I dont want to donate under ignorance, where the money is not needed or used. I know in india there are lot of NGOs that need money.I have short listed few places i would like to donate. Please do write your comments/suggestions. I really appreciate anyone's help. Thank you. May krsna bless everyone.
