Food for Life Global is a non-profit vegan food relief organization founded in 1995 to serve as the headquarters for Food for Life projects. Although Food for Life Global has roots in ISKCON, it is a completely independent non-profit organization that supports the work of Food for Life projects under the management of ISKCON as well as many other non-profits that are not. Its network of 211 affiliates span the globe, with projects occupying over 60 countries.[1] Volunteers provide up to 2,000,000 free meals daily.[1] Food For Life engages in various sorts of hunger relief, including outreach to the homeless, provision for disadvantaged children throughout India, and provision for victims of natural disasters around the world.[2]

The new TOVP Pujari Floor
The new TOVP Pujari Floor
The Iskcon will throw open on Thursday the world’s largest pujari seva on a single-floor facility spread over 2.5 acres at the Temple of the Vedic Planetarium at Mayapur in Nadia.
Devotees from over 77 countries are expected to attend the inaugural ceremony that will also mark the countdown to the opening of the Vedic planetarium, the Iskcon’s flagship Rs 700-crore project slated to be completed in March 2022.
“This is going to be the largest floor for worship and other seva facilities in the world,” Iskcon spokesperson Subroto Das said.
The huge floor of the “seva facilities” is fitted with over 20 specially-designed rooms for worship, cooking prasad, stitching deities’ attire, training priests from across the world and rendering several other seva services.
The architectural pattern of the centrally air-conditioned and CCTV-monitored seva facility is a viewer’s pleasure. It is made with marble stones brought from Bolivia and France and specially-designed glass-fibre-reinforced gypsum.
The Iskcon authorities said the floor would remain open for public viewing for one hour every day after its inauguration on February 13. Three deities — Sri Radha Madhava, Sri Pancha Tattva and Sri Nrsimha — will be shifted to the floor later.
The initiative is being viewed as a major step towards the opening of the entire Vedic planetarium in 2022.

TOVP - FULFILLMENT OF A PROPHECY with Ajay Piramal and Hema Malini
The TOVP fulfills a divine prophecy made 500 years ago.
I wish to thank from the bottom of my heart all the worldwide donors and supporters of the TOVP who, for the last nine years, have inspired me with their devotion and love for Srila Prabhupada's mission and the TOVP.
I am eternally grateful and you will undoubtedly be blessed for your service to Sridhama Mayapur. If you have not yet made a pledge or a donation, this is the time now to help and to solidify your relationship with Sridhama Mayapur and the TOVP project.
There are less than four years left to complete Srila Prabhupada’s dear most project by the Grand Opening date of 2022. And there is still much work to do. The MISSION 22 marathon is in full force and we need your help now more than ever to reach our common goal. For the next two years we require $10 million annually and $15 million total thereafter, making a grand total of $35 million to complete the project.
