The Melitopol Yatra needs help. Unfortunately, the hardest hit are the yatras under occupation. Deprived of the opportunity to earn money, devotees need the bare necessities of life.

Before the war, the Melitopol Yatra consisted of 80 devotees. But now, there are only half left. Here is what Omkarahari prabhu, one of the yatra leaders says:

Hare Krsna, dear devotees. Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. My name is Omkarahari das, I am from Ukraine, the town of Melitopol. The town of Melitopol is located in the east of Ukraine, it is a small town which is called the Gates to the Crimea. Right now Melitopol is occupied by the Russian Federation.

Almost all enterprises are closed down. Everyone is jobless, prices for all the groceries are soaring, both for the most necessary ones and absolutely everything. Prices have increased by 3-4 times. However, we meet regularly, we hold Sunday feast programs, namahats. Our main project is Food for Life. This is the project that united the whole yatra. Local devotees gathered together around this project. This project is very much necessary not only for devotees who come, but also for those people who come to us. These are mostly elderly people who have no pension left, they have no social support. The situation is quite difficult for the devotees at present. And all the devotees lost their jobs, they have no social security payments…

USD 1,000 a month would significantly support this yatra. Personally or through the efforts of your community, you can take patronage over the Melitopol yatra.

Sastrakrit prabhu is telling about how Mykolaiv yatra now lives.

This is the city closest to the frontline in the South of Ukraine. It is daily bombarded with projectiles. Most devotees have been evacuated to safer regions. But still, there are devotees who are still staying there: they cannot leave their parents behind, someone is in such poor health that they cannot survive the relocation. The temple is still holding everyday programs and Sunday feast programs. The Food for Life program is a crucial element in the city’s social life – people come to get hot prasadam and Srila Prabhupada’s books. The locals have always loved harinamas on the streets, but now there is special meaning attached to harinamas – it is a symbol that spiritual life continues even when everything around collapses. It is quite interesting that the construction works done in the yatra just before the war had to do with repairing the basement… It was really destiny. Now devotees often go down there because of air raids. The devotees remain enthusiastic in serving Srila Prabhupada’s mission and are confident that things will get better. They are very humble and hardworking. Caring for these wonderful devotees is the source of great joy for us.

The amount of monthly expenses is USD 1650. Expenses include maintaining elderly devotees who have been evacuated to safer locations. Personally or through the efforts of your community, you can take patronage over the Mykolaiv Yatra.

Ukrainian New Mayapura Community in Need of Patrons

Since the beginning of the war New Mayapur ISKCON Education Center has provided shelter for hundreds of devotees who have been displaced because of the war. They lost their property, jobs, yatras, connections and environment they were used to. Many of them have no home left to come back to …

Therefore, now these Vaishnavas connect their lives with New Mayapura. It is not surprising that New Mayapura’s expenditures have increased many-fold: it is necessary to purchase food, fabrics and hygiene products, to pay utility bills …

Yet despite all the difficulties of martial law, the community is successful in maintaining the atmosphere of trust, devotion, love and care. The devotees who came here are provided with everything they need: accommodation, prasadam, personal items and even clothes. And, of course, they take part in daily spiritual programs, serve the Deities and each other. The managers are making every effort to ensure that the devotees in New Mayapur feel protected on all levels: physical, psychological and spiritual. The congregation spends are USD 6,000 to cover monthly bhoga and utility bills.

The main task for New Mayapur now is to increase its energy self-sufficiency as the vital infrastructure of Ukraine is being destroyed including power plants and electricity distribution networks. Now there are around 100 Vaishnava refugees in the center.

Please take care of these Vaishnavas on your own or together with your temple community. Please donate via our website donation buttons or contact us if you need some help.

In a small town of Chortkiv, western Ukraine, the young family of Dhruva-kumara Prabhu took the responsibility in Srila Prabhupada’s mission. They maintain the temple and arrange preaching in the region. Like many communities in western Ukraine, they welcomed devotees in need.

The temple is a small and cozy one. Abhai-nitai Prabhu’s family was given shelter here. With a small child and his wife, he managed to get out of Irpin, the long-suffering suburb town next to Kyiv. Mataji Irina Vovk came here from the city of Mykolaiv, which is still being shelled by ballistic missiles. Devotees’ needs are very modest, about USD 250 a month.

ADOPTED BY ISKCON CANADA!

Both Share Your Care team and Lviv Yatra are extremely grateful to ISKCON Canada for adopting the Lviv Yatra.

The Lviv yatra has played a unique role for Ukrainian devotees. Located on the western border of Ukraine, it hosted hundreds of devotees who were forced to flee their homes in the north, east and south of the country. This yatra provided emergency care to Vaisnavas. It did it especially in the first weeks of the war when there was a massive influx of Ukrainian citizens crossing the border with Poland. It was cold and people had sometimes been traveling for several days before reaching Lviv. The Vaisnavas launched a grand-scale Food For Life program. 200,000 portions of prasadam have been distributed to those in need. To this day, the FFL team is still rendering this service. They go to cities which are being shelled.

Despite the fact that the Lviv temple is under construction, it hosts 35-50 devotees. So far Share Your Care fund has been transferring USD 2000 to the yatra monthly. It has been enough to cover monthly bhoga and utility bills. You can find Vasuttama Prabhu’s report about Lviv yatra in this inspiring video.

We encourage you to share your care with this wonderful yatra. We will help you to communicate with the devotees directly. You will be able to get to know their needs first hand and share the joy of serving Srila Prabhupada’s mission with them.
