Why should you volunteer with us?
Being part of ISKCON Whitefield’s ‘Cause for Life’ program has been a truly humbling experience. Through these initiatives, I’ve had the privilege of serving nutrient-rich meals to those who need them the most. It’s incredible to see how a simple act of kindness can bring warmth and hope to so many lives. These programs don’t just feed people—they uplift communities and create a lasting positive impact in society. I feel truly blessed to contribute to this noble mission and make a difference, one meal at a time.

I feel fortunate to be part of the ‘Cause for Life’ volunteers group. It enables me to fulfill my desire for social work through Prasadam distribution among slum people and school children. It is a great initiative to provide free Prasadam whenever volunteers request. Every time I do this noble work, I feel so happy seeing people eating the Prasadam with great satisfaction.

I’m very grateful to ISKCON for running this Cause for Life program. In this program, we feed needy people who can’t afford food. Recently I went to an NGO where I celebrated Diwali with children who live in the slums and distributed Prasadam to them. The children were very happy while celebrating Diwali and receiving Prasadam. While I was distributing food to the poor children, I felt joyful as I could help the community. Post this experience, I learnt how grateful I should be for the food I get, and the importance of giving back to the community.

Distributing Krishna Prasadam feels like a transcendental activity. It's a very fulfilling experience especially when each person’s face lights up with joy when they receive Prasadam. It isn't just the taste of the sanctified food, but the palpable presence of Krishna's mercy that makes all of us feel this way. The act of giving, coupled with the profound spiritual significance of the Prasadam, creates a sense of deep fulfillment and connection. This isn’t just a distribution; it is sharing of love, and the Lord’s mercy with everyone around. It is an incredibly humbling and uplifting experience, and I feel very fortunate to be a part of this glorious seva for the pleasure of the Lord.
