Iskcon Food Life

Lord Sri Krishna says in Srimad Bhagavatam

“I could be worshipped within the Cows by offering of grass and other suitable grains for the happiness and health of the Cows, and one can worship me within the Vaishnavas through offering loving friendship to them and respecting them in all respects.”

Thus, by serving the Cows one can get more spiritual benefit. By Feeding suitable grains with love to the Cows, performing puja, or just doing a simple scratch under the neck of cows one can attract the attention of the supreme personality of God.

In ISKCON Bareilly, our gaushala is associated with ISKCON Kathwada and Ghaziabad where 400 cows have been fed and cared for the past 40 years. Our main goal is to protect cow and provide education about the importance of cow protection.

Our effort is to revive, and re-establish our ancient Vedic culture again.

Food for Life initiative is a free food distribution program, which satisfies and makes healthy the body by providing high-quality vegetarian food to everyone. And it also satisfies the soul because the meal is cooked by the temple devotees and offered to Lord Krishna before it gets distributed to people. Thus it becomes Krishna Prasadam, a spiritual meal that nourishes both body and soul.

In the Bhagavad Gita, It has been stated, “The devotees of the Lord are free from all kinds of sins because they eat food which is offered first for sacrifice. Others, who make food for personal sense enjoyment, verily eat only sin”.

Therefore, Food for Life is the highest welfare service for human beings.
