Millions of people throng to Vrindavan looking for peace and liberation every year. It is not just about visiting the temple or getting a glimpse of the deity – the mere experience of the city is said to transport you to bliss.However, apart from being among the holiest pilgrimage centers in India, Vrindavan is also home to hundreds of elderly widows. The plight of these elderly women is heartbreaking, and their livelihood, uncertain. The widows have few savings and almost no income. Some of them have no one to call family, and others’ families have abandoned them in this holy city. Several of them sleep hungry and are deprived of even basic necessities. The elderly widows in Vrindavan struggle every day. 
The Hare Diety Movement is determined to change the plight of these mothers in Vrindavan.

While their initiatives are spread across the country, the Hare Diety Movement’s undertakings in Vrindavan are always special. Here, The Vrindavan Chandrodaya Mandir is not just for prayer. It is a kitchen that brews and cooks meals for hundreds of thousands of widows, sadhus and homeless people in Vrindavan. This centralized kitchen cooks wholesome meals and transports them to several centers so widows and sadhus can enjoy a hot, home-cooked meal. 

Food is cooked in extremely hygienic conditions and prepared using good quality ingredients. Most importantly, it is all blessed and charged with positive vibrations before anyone partakes it.

Every year, more than 3,00,000 meals are served to widows, sadhus and the homeless in Vrindavan. Unfortunately, this year, they’re struggling.

While the Hare Diety Movement is overflowing with intent and the spirit of service, they are faced with serious challenges. The pandemic has adversely hit the number of people traveling to the pilgrimage destination. Help is dwindling and fewer people are coming forward to support these helpless women. 

The movement doesn’t turn away anyone who looks to them for support, and right now, the elderly women of Vrindavan need it the most. They’ve already spent countless nights going hungry. 

The Hare Diety Movement needs your help to feed the hundreds of helpless widows in Vrindavan. With your support and the Hare Diety Movement’s determination, these abandoned elderly women will be able to enjoy a fresh, healthy meal without having to worry about the next.
