The Mayapur Vaishnava Care team

The Mayapur Vaishnava Care team Mayapur Vaishnava Care Team offers spiritual, emotional, and practical support to devotees in the dham. It's part of it.

Inspired by Srila Prabhupada's vision, we believe caring for devotees isn't separate from bhakti. Since its inception in 2014, MVC volunteers have provided assistive care to over 400 devotees in need. Over the years our team has engaged in excess of 50 volunteers in this selfless service.In pursuance of our vision, we busy ourselves with connecting empathic devotee volunteers with those in need of

care, as well as with creating and maintaining the infrastructure required to facilitate this care. Care within our community happens on four levels which are naturally interconnected: social, physical, emotional and spiritual. Often the most pressing and urgent needs are for immediate and ongoing physical care for devotees struggling with both acute and chronic medical conditions. But whether social, emotional or physical needs are being addressed, all our care is offered with the ultimate understanding that a soul, dear to Krishna, is the recipient of our service.

Not every act of devotion happens on the altar. Sometimes it looks like sitting with someone who is sick, lonely, or far from home. Sarva Drik Prabhu invites you to be part of something quietly powerful. The Mayapur Vaishnava Care Team needs hearts like yours.

This was filmed on a phone, completely unplanned. Drutakarma Prabhu stopped to share what the Mayapur Vaishnava Care Team meant to him. We're glad we were there when he needed us.

Have you ever been looked after by a fellow devotee in a moment of need? Tell us in the comments.

Bhim Prasad prabhu travelled all the way from Kathmandu to be in the dham, and ended up with a serious injury to his ankle. The Mayapur Vaishnava Care Team has been taking him to hospital and making sure he gets whatever he needs along the way. Being far from home when something goes wrong is hard. That's exactly why we're here.

Have you ever needed help while away from home in the dham?

Srila Prabhupada said it plainly: caring for devotees isn't a nice extra, it's part of Krishna consciousness itself. HH Jayapataka Swami reminds us of the same thing. We need to actually learn how to do it, according to each person's real needs.

Have you ever felt genuinely cared for as a devotee? What did that look like?

Tag someone who has shown you real care as a devotee.

It's nice to know what a difference your contributions make to devotees' lives.

WHY IS DEVOTEE CARE IMPORTANT IN OUR SOCIETY?

We have the most complete philosophy, and Srila Prabhupada has given us the wonderful process of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Part of that process is taking care of the devotees. Actually, Krishna says that He has nothing else to do but to take care of His devotees. And since His devotees are always thinking about Him, He is also always thinking about His devotees. So actually, devotee care is one of the primary angas or aspects of Krishna consciousness.

However, I heard that there was a study by some outsiders where they said that of all the schools, ISKCON has the best philosophy, but when they talk about taking care of devotees, then ISKCON is way down the list. So serving the devotees and taking care of the devotees should be a part of our religion, and we should be doing that as daily work instead of feeling it is something that should be forced. [HH Jayapataka Swami]

Dear Mayapur Community devotees, Hare Krsna!
Please accept my pranams.
All glories to Sri-Sri Guru and Gauranga!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

You may remember that there was this 7-year old bright Bengali boy from a Vaisnava family in Swarupganj who we were hoping to be able to get admission for at our Bhaktivedanta National School, a little more than one year ago. And by the very kind-hearted, joined efforts of several well-wishing devotees this boy then received sponsorship for studying in the 2nd Grade of the school and has now been promoted to Class 3.

When I went to the school office, just after Gaura Purnima, in order to make all arrangements for his continued studies, BV National School's Vice Principal, Ramanipati Prabhu, appealed and related to me that on that very day itself parents of altogether 38(!) registered or aspiring students had been desperately pleading and some of them literally been crying to please, please accept or keep their child in the school - despite the fact that they as parents were unable to afford to pay the school fees.

Some of these students are already students of BV National School but due to the development of the overall economic situation over the past year, parents feel themselves forced to remove their child as they can't bear the expenditures anymore.

The administrators of the school on the other hand are asking: "How can we kick out any student who has studied here for several years but due to financial crisis his or her family can presently not cope with the fees?"

Other families are hoping to enrol their child and thus providing it with a bright future by help of a solid and at the same time spiritually oriented education, but find themselves unable to afford it.

The school lost one very large-hearted sponsor last year who was located in UK and very sadly left his body in connection with Covid. Every year he would sponsor a whole bunch of students by his wonderful seva, and him being no more with us has definitely created quite a vacuum for those who were hoping to find financial support.

So here I am, trying to share this with all of you. Education - especially if it is combined with a spiritual outlook and value system - is what can enable a person to positively develop in life and move towards a bright and promising future.

If there is anyone amongst you who feels inspired to help in whatever way possible - or may have friends, or may know somebody who could consider this to be a valuable cause and thus come forward - kindly spread the news or contact me.

Please do so by privately replying to this email at [email protected]. Or call or WhatsApp/Telegram me on the following number:
+91-8538 808 750.

I shall be glad to provide you with more detailed information about the aspiring students and answer whatever questions I can.

You can also directly approach BV National School. In that case please contact either Ramanipati Prabhu, the Vice Principal: +91-9434 486 758
or Suddha Sridhara Prabhu: +91-9232 253 602.

The more devotees come forward in whatever way possible, the more of a chance will be there that we as a community can make a positive change in the lives of all these young and aspiring devotees.

Thanking you for having taken the time to read through all of this, and praying that this finds all of you well and spiritually happy,
yours in service
Janaki dasi

Hare Krishna dear devotees.
Please accept our humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Below is an appeal from a differently abled young devotee who is here in Sridham Mayapur, He requires assistance for getting a wheel chair.

Madhusudan dasa lives in Mayapur where he has been doing seva and studying bhakti sastri.

He joined ISKCON in 2014 in South India. Moved by Srila Prabhupada's books and ISKCON preaching program, he decided to get initiated by H.H. Jayapataka Maharaj in 2017.

When he was 2 years old he got infected with polio and has, since then, been unable to walk. His only mobility option is his electric wheelchair which pretty soon will go out of commission.

Donations are requested to get him a new electric wheelchair so that he may continue his service.
