According to a temple spokesperson, “Most people in Vrindavan live in dire conditions. When the cold winter months approach, many do not even have warm blankets and clothing. The cold weather will bring very severe suffering to those who are not prepared. Thus we wanted to ensure that these women [and men] have what they need to survive the harsh conditions.”
An estimated 5,000 sadhus attended the Thursday distribution while about 4,000 sadhvis and widows attended on Friday. (V)
