KUCHING: Padawan Municipal Council chairman, Lo Khere Chiang and members of International Society For Krishna Conscious (ISKCON) Malaysia led by its Temple President and Spiritual Counselor, Reverend Prabhu distributed free food to the public at 7th Mile market, Kota Sentosa near here yesterday.
Lo said “We come into this world with nothing, and we leave this world with nothing as well, and the most important thing to do is to give while we are still in this world. As the more we give, the more happier we become and this is a very valuable aspect in life.”
He added that no matter how rich or poor we are, everyone have something to offer, by contributing in many ways, not just in terms of materialistic things but also by contributing our time to listen and talk to someone who had problems and helping them go through hard and difficult time.
According to Prabhu the charity activity is done every month where the members go to different places such as the blind centre, old folks home, orphanage and markets to distribute free and healthy vegetarian food to the people.
He believed that doing charity work was a service to God and it was important to do charity for mankind.
Members of the ISKCOM are encouraged to donate rice, cooking oil and vegetables to cater for 300 people per visit.
