Inmate Sues for PrasadamOriginally published by: www.chakra.orgOriginal article: Inmate Sues for PrasadamDate: 2 years 16 weeks agoEdited: Minor editing (a comma here, an emdash there ...)
In response to a law suit citing obstruction of religious practice, the Arizona attorney general has requested the Tucson ISKCON temple and Govinda's Natural Foods Restaurant to provide three meals a day for inmate Jeff Walls, a Hare Krishna devotee in Federal Prison. Walls told the state that eating the prison food violated his religious practice of only eating sanctified food prepared in a clean, meat free kitchen by a brahmana with spiritual consciousness. The attorney generals office is negotiating with temple president Sandamini Mataji to provide those meals. Since the prison is over an hour away, the prasadam meals would be kept frozen and picked up on a bi-weekly basis for distribution. The state is mandated to provide prisoners with meals according to their religious beliefs such as kosher and halal meals, so why not prasadam? This may be the first in a series of sanctified meals demanded by Krishna devotees imprisoned all over the country who are concerned about their upliftment and purification. Undoubtedly this would be very pleasing to Srila Prabhupada and Krishna.

Yet it wasn't until 1988 Candrasekhara Dasa established the official ISKCON Prison Ministry in the USA, as an outlet for householders to preach without having to leave their homes; all they had to do was write letters. Shyama Priya Dasi, now an IPM volunteer for seventeen years, was gripped by the idea of such a personal service the moment she was first introduced to it in 1990. Download gratis di programmi
