Society distributes meals to pupils Campaign to promote vegetarianism held to mark group’s 50th anniversary

THERE are many ways one can celebrate an anniversary. Some throw lavish parties and others do a simple get-together. The International Society of Krishna Consciousness of ISKCON, which will celebrate its 50th anniversary next year, distributed free meals to pupils to promote vegetarianism recently. It was carried out under the Sastra Dana Anna Dana programme organised by ISKCON Malaysia together with Bhaktivedanta Books Trading Malaysia Sdn Bhd and Food For Life Society Malaysia. The group visited selected Tamil schools in Kuala Lumpur and Klang. Last month, they made their first stop at SJK(T) Vivekananda in Petaling Jaya, where Food For Life Society gave out 720 meals to pupils and teachers there. The session started off with the pupils singing the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra.
