VVrindavan Dham is a refuge for devotees, sadhakas and the poor alike, many of whom are deprived of food, appropriate shelter and clothing. This year too, like previous years, we covered the needy people with blankets late in the night. On two different nights by 5 vehicles, blankets were distributed at all major spots of Vrindavan, like roadsides of the Vrindavan parikrama marg, bank of Yamuna river and in front of all main Temples. Moreover, on other separate night, full sleeve inner garments (woolly cotton) were also distributed among Sadhus and the poor on the streets in and around Vrindavan. Following are the counts of blankets and woolly cottons distributed:
