In order to offer our readers, volunteers and supporters an outlet for making a prayer request for themselves or a loved one, as well as to respond to the requests of others, we at Vaisnavas C.A.R.E. have created a forum for this purpose. Often we hear of a fellow Vaisnava who is enduring some hardship, sickness, or terminal illness. Due to the compassionate nature of a devotee the desire is there to help and somehow alleviate or lessen their suffering. We may not be sure how we can help, due to distance or other reasons. Prayer is something each of us can do. We can all offer a prayer, artika, or other spiritual activity in the name of a Vaisnava in need. The Vaisnavas C.A.R.E. prayer forum was created so that many can post prayer requests, read, and respond to the requests made. Please take advantage of this opportunity.

Your aspiring servant, August 23, 2010 Prayers For Rose Forkash Founder of Friends of Lord Krsna (F.O.L.K.) Rose's only daughter joined the movement in 1970. Like most of the devotee's parents, the Forkashs were concerned. They never heard of this strange cult who sang and danced in the streets. Further investigation lead them to the paramahamsa, Srila Prabhupada. Soon they appreciated his pure and elevated teachings. The Forkeshs came regularly to the temple. Rose noticed other parents and felt compassion for their bewilderment. She saw how we alienated our parents. While enthusiastically embracing everything Prahupada gave us, we "threw the baby out with the bath water" The typical scenario was an anxious parent came looking for their lost child. This child most likely dropped out of school. Gave up all friends and a job without any notice. Standing before them was once their baby now dressed in a sheet, head shaved, or nose pierced. We didn't greet them in a customary polite way. No, we used a mixed foreign dialect. Made them take off their shoes. Sit on the floor with a paper plate, over filled with a strange spicy arrangement of food. No spoon, no fork, no napkin. They sat awkwardly while we preached non stop. Mind you,our parents did not bend well. They never sat on the floor. The ladies wore nylon stockings which shredded without shoes. At that time avocados were considered exotic. Eating with your hands was very crude. We did more to alienate them than the Communist. Rose was a great mother who understood the situation. She and her husband, Sam started a successful organization called Friends of Krishna. They bridged the generation gap. They reached out to many a worried parent in different ways. Rose knew her generation needed certain comforts. She arranged luncheons with tables, chairs and silverware. They wore their shoes and became comfortable. The Forkeshs helped Prabhupada include our parents in receiving Lord Caitanya's mercy. Rose and Sam did a great service for Srila Prabhupada. She was just hospitalized for a blood clot that went to her spleen. Please pray that she is comfortable. Nagapatni Devi Dasi Letter to Mrs. Rose Forkash from Srila Prabhupada -- Bombay 3 April, 1977
Mrs. Rose Forkash
Dear Mrs. Forkash: Please accept my greetings. I beg to thank you for the nice "Parents for Krishna newsletter dated March, 1977. It is very nicely done. This newsletter should be sent to all the parents of our devotees. Just recently the mother of one of our senior devotees, Mrs. L. H. Gibline, whose son is Jayapataka Swami, Director of our Mayapur Project, visited Mayapur West Bengal as well as our other Indian centres. She was very much impressed with the deep philosophy and roots which our movement has within the culture of India. You can communicate with her at the following address: Mrs. L. H. Giblin
I am sure she would be very pleased to be an active assistant. If the parents of our devotees study the philosophy of Krishna consciousness there is no doubt they will benefit equally as their children are now doing. I hope this meets you well. Yours faithfully,
ACBS/tks

Website September 4, 2010 We humbly pray at the lotus feet of Lord Shyamsundarji and Kishoriji to cast Their merciful glance upon Rose, who has served Srila Prabhupada and his movement very devotedly. Lord please allow this wonderful devotee to recuperate from her painful bodily pains and guide her to continue to remember Your glorious pastimes. May she always serve You and Your lotus feet eternally. Rose mataji, I have had the good fortune to attend your birthday and meet you at Santa Barbara several times,at Srila Gurudev Giriraj Swami's Vyasa Puja festival,several years back. I pray to see you again in good health and Krishna conscious spirits. You are an inspiration for us. With much love, August 27, 2010 Dear Lord Krishna, Please give Your mercy to Your devotee Rose who has done so much service for Srila Prabhupada's movement. Savitri Dasi August 26, 2010 Dear Rose, Rarely one accepts the ways of the Vaishnavas like you, and even more rare is the oppotunity to be able to please a Pure Devotee of the Lord, such as HDG Srila Prabhupada. So with these things in mind I offer you my humble obeisances, and pray that you are given complete shelter of the Lord at the moment of leaving, withfFull blessings of all Devotees and HDG Srila Prabhupada. May you find Krsna Consciouness in your heart eternally, and go back home at the end of this lifetime. Your servant, August 23, 2010 Dear Lord Krsna, Please continue to give Your loving mercy to Your dear servant, Rose. She has done so much for the devotees during her life. She has pleased Srila Prabhupada by helping our parents to better understand our life in devotional service. Please protect her always and keep her at Your lotus feet. Your servant, August 23, 2010 Dear Lord Krsna, Kindly continue to keep Rose at Your lotus feet--now and always. Your servant, August 23, 2010 Dear Krishna, Today I am asking You special protection for a very unique soul. Rose's daughter is a senior devotee who has certainly performed an incredible amount of spiritual activities and tapasya and who is very dear to Shrila Prabhupada. However, all her choices and decisions came from her own will, such as the activities she has performed in Krishna Consciousness. Mother Rose, on the contrary, followed her beloved child through all possible situations, some of which were certainly very uncomfortable, bewildering and perhaps very painful. But she did all of that out of unconditioned love. Not only, she thought about other parents who were obviously going through her same difficulties. Out of generosity she decided to help others, share her experience and turn her sorrows and anxieties into a powerful supporting weapon. How totally unselfish this lady has been!!! Please, now she is experiencing some difficulty, some physical pain. This pain now is only hers, it is her bodily pain, but this time we want to share her difficulty and paticipate. It's only fair that we all start caring for her just as she has cared for other people. It is her turn to receive love and support from the devotees. Please my Lord, Please Mother Radha, queen of compassion, direct Your loving glance onto this wonderful lady and let her be healthy again, fully active in her mission. Thank You very much for listening to me,
August 23, 2010 My Dear Lord Krishna, Please give Your blessings to Rose who has done such wonderful service for You and for Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON. Kindly give her strength and pease at this time. If it be Your will please give her healing and take away any suffering she may have to endure. Please also give strength and peace to her family and loved ones. This person is truely one of Your blessings.

Offer a prayer for HH Mukunda Goswami on this V-C.A.R.E. Website August 23, 2010 Dear Lord, Only now I read about Mukunda Gosvami's operation.

Krodha-krt dd UPDATE Dear friends, Yesterday I got an email that Syamachandra das had a little bit of a miracle while offering his service to their deities in home. He unfortunately passed out while he "went to cut outfits for our lordships in the altar room," as his partner and caregiver put in the email. They all thought Syam prabhu had left his body. Instead, when they approached his seemingly lifeless body, and were carrying him to his bed. Well this is what Ziad wrote: "My mum andI immediately rushed in and carried him to the bed. He continued on about all wonderful things he saw,how Radharani fed him and put gopi dots all over his face. The strangest thing is that his mouth was blue,which he says is the amritam Radharani fed him, and his face was covered in dots. More amazing is the fact that Radharani had actually moved on the altar and the necklace she was holding was on the floor at Syam's feet. He also mentioned seeing all his relatives who had left their bodies,and even mine who he never met. They were all here to lead him home,and he cried." Please continue to offer prayers for Syamachandra das, I believe your prayers are being heard by Their Supreme Lordships. What a wonderful service this is. I could only hope the same for just a bit of the mercy you all have shown when it comes to my time. Please excuse my bother, but I request that you continue to pray for our brother. Hare Krsna! August 18, 2010 Dear Sweet RadheSyam, You are but our only mercy and refuge. I pray that You continue to watch over Your servant Syamachandra Das. Radha, please continue to show Your causeless mercy to these nice devotees and their family who need as much strength as possible during the stressful times. Also please bless the devotees that are praying for Syam Prabhu, he is very fortunate to have such pure devotees praying for him. My gratitude to them is boundless. Hare Krsna. Vrindavand Bhakta Wil
My sweet brothers and sisters, Yesterday I received word that Syamachandra's condition continues to worsen. He is now asking for us to pray for his safe journey back home. According to his doctors he may have several months left, but no one knows. He is in deep distress, and so are his loved ones. Even though they are devout devotees, the sadness of separation is there. They request prayers for comfort and readiness for the final journey. Vrindavand Bhakta Wil
August 11, 2010 I would like to request prayers for a beloved devotee of our Lord. His name is Syamachandra das. Syamachandra das has been a devotee since the age of 11. As he grew up as a bramachari, he later became temple secretary at the New Jagnanatha Puri temple in Phoenix, Durban. He is a disciple of H.H. Bhakti Caitanya Swami, and was initiated Syamachandra das at the age of 19. According to his long time friend and now care giver Ziad Prabhu, Syamachandra not only introduced him to the KC movement but has tirelessly worked to impart the knowledge of the Supreme, enlightening many a soul. Syamachandra das has a very acute case of cancer and is undergoing treatment for it, and of which both have affected his health profoundly. My request for prayers to make Syamachandra days as comfortable as possible during this very challenging spiritual, and physical period. I also humbly request that we pray for his dear friend Zaid prabhu, for his own safekeeping of his health and who is taking care of Syamachandra das unfailingly through this process. Never leaving Syamachandra's side, and who is himself deeply devoted to Lord Krnsa. I am sure they would appreciate the love and support from such sweet devotees as you, who are fulfilling a wonderful service to all devotees, and in that way making our Lord very satisfied. Your servant,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada. I would like to introduce you all to Ajita Krishna Dasi, a long time servant of Srila Prabhupada since around 1985 and disciple of HH Giriraj Swami. Over the years she has performed numerous daring outreach preaching services all over Southern Africa, including Lesotho and Swaziland. She was also responsible for securing one of the largest monthly donations to ISKCON Food for Life in South Africa from the Hollard Insurance group; a donation that ran for over twenty years to our Johannesburg/Soweto Food For Life program. In short she has proven her dedication to Srila Prabhupada's mission. For some time she has struggled with cancer and recently she moved into the Radha Radhanath Temple to focus completely on her Krishna consciousness and to prepare for the inevitable. Today we came to understand from medical assessments that she has between forty eight hours to seven days to live. I feel Krishna has offered her a wonderful opportunity to pass her last days in the association of devotees preparing her consciousness for the ultimate test. And I feel that Krishna has offered us all just as wonderful an opportunity to reciprocate with her on behalf of Srila Prabhupada for all the dedication she has always shown. It is a timely opportunity for us to test our love for Sri Sri Radha Radhanath by assisting one of Their dear servants go back to Them. I encourage you all to contribute in some way to help prepare her for her daunting test -- either in time to spend chanting, reading to her or being part of the kirtan in her room, and/or financially to cover medical costs, or constantly offering prayers to Sri Sri Radha Radhanath to clear her path back home, back to Them. Time is of the essence in this service -- please contact the following devotees immediately to help: Vibhu Caitanya Das, Mallika Dasi, and Sukumari Dasi all on 031-4033328 or Haridev Das on 0834510088 If you are able to help by way of donations, please deposit your
contribution in: Thank you for your time and consideration of this humble request. May this find you all well.

Dear Devotees, Please accept my respectful obeisances. All glories to the ISKCON gurus. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
At the present moment Padma is in the intensive care unit (ICU) under continuous medication. Her situation is stabile, her mother can go in and feed her in every 3 hours. The other extensive examinations have not shown any other deficiencies or problems. She got strong enough that she could be operated. The doctors scheduled her heart surgery on the 2nd August (Monday) 9:00 AM (CET). The surgery takes about 5-6 hours. The surgery needs an elaborate preparation and a long post-operation period, what can last for days or even weeks.
We would like to ask you to please pray so that Padma could be strong to take this extremely difficult and stressful situation and recover soon, and so that Adi Radhika Mataji and Gaura-sakti Prabhu could get enough strength in the middle of this spiritually and emotionally hard and straining situation. Srila Sivarama Maharaja visited Padma in the hospital and then he put her picture on the altar at the lotus feet of Radhe-Syama and Gaura-Nitai so that Padma can get their mercy also. There is a great need for each and every support, words and prayer. We would like to ask you however to please don't try to get in contact with Gaura-sakti Prabhu or Adi Radhika Mataji personally or on the phone, but they are happy to receive encouraging, supportive e-mails at: (gs@1108.cc) or SMS messages. Gaura-sakti Prabhu and his family will spend the following weeks or according to the situation even months in Budapest near the hospital in a rented apartment. Gaura-sakti Prabhu is continuously dealing with the issues of leading the Hungarian yatra as per his time permits, but his personal communication is limited to speaking with the members of the two Boards of Directors only, so all communication will be through the directors. We would like to ask you to please pray for the little Padma and please do the bhajans for her, so she can get the mercy of the Lord and recover soon. Your servant,

Medical science is so advanced that such big operations can be performed on little babies. It is hard to imagine what Padma is going through, since she cannot express herself and is completely helpless and dependent. But You are with her, so please protect and guide her, nurse her to health with all Your mercy.
Please also give courage and strength to her parents. This must be a very stressful time for them. Only You can give solace and peace during this difficult time for them.

Forgive me for asking anything from You sweet Syamasudara, I am such a fallen soul, and certainly unqualified, but this child Padma is. I know that you are the cause of all causes, therefore we need to accept whatever happens, but for this child I your lowest servant ask for mercy and good health for the sweet child Padma, and for the fortitude that her loving parents need now. Radha, I pray that You ask Sri Krsna to hear our pleas for His grace and merciful heart to help this child become strong, prosper and learn to love the Divine couple. With this I'll end, knowing and in full faith that Padma, although challenged now, will bow before You, Sri Krsna and our beloved her beloved grand father guru, Srila Prabhupada. Om tat sat! Jai Sri Sri Radha Govinda! Your servant, August 3, 2010 Dear Radha Krsna, Please protect this child and allow her to recover quickly.

In spite of all our conflicts, we are a network of people who really care, and this does come out at difficult times. Dear Vaikuntha, don't doubt this even for a moment.

Please give Vaikuntha Das peace and allow him to always remain at Your divine lotus feel and serve You eternally. Your aspiring servant, July 16, 2010 Sent in by Daivisakti Devi Dasi He reasons ill who says that Vaisnavas die, His Grace Aindra Prabhu Attains the Spiritual Realm. With extreme anguish we inform the devotees of the disappearance of His Grace Aindra Prabhu on the night of July 16, 2010. He was alone in his room worshiping His beloved Deities when apparently there was a gas leak from his cylinder. Some devotees heard a sound and there was some smell, but no one knew from where it came. Devotees knocked on Aindra's door, but there was no response all night. His door is very thick, and there is one trap door in it. In the morning when Aindra didn't come to the temple to dress Sri Sri Radha Shyamasundara, the devotees then could understand that something serious had happened. With difficulty they broke open the trap door, and only one devotee, Adi Kesava Das, was small enough to enter the room. When he entered he saw that the entire room was black and there was disturbance everywhere. It appeared that Aindra might have lit a match in the room and that caused the gas in the air to ignite and burn the room. Aindra was behind the altar. It looked as if he had tried to open the window, but was unsuccessful, so he offered his obeisances behind Sri Sri Gaura Nitai, and left his body in that position. When Adi Kesava found him, Aindra was already long gone, and his body was still offering obeisances. At this moment the formalities are under way to bring Aindra Prabhu in procession to Sri Yamunaji. The entire Vaisnava community will surely lament at the disappearance of such a stalwart kirtaniya who inspired the world with akhanda kirtana. His saintly guidance and example as a pure and devoted disciple of Srila Prabhupada has certainly qualified him for express entry into the eternal lila of his beloved Lords, Sri Sri Radha Shyamasundara. More information will be posted throughout the day. There are photos of Aindra Prabhu's altar and room (before the incident) at the following site: The official website of the 24-hour kirtan: http: http://www.24hourkirtan.com Also see V-C.AR.E.'s Memoriam page July 21, 2010 Thank you so much to HG Aindra Prabhu who made every moment spent at Krsna Balarama Temple Vrndavana a treasure that will be held in my heart for eternity. Every time I went I would sit and listen to His Bhajans/kirtans and watch everyone being enlivened by his playing/singing. For sure He will surely be missed by all devotees who knew of him or even just heard of Him. All glories to Aindra Prabhu who made a deep impact in the world of the Vaisnavas in general. May chanting the Maha Mantra enter into our hearts as it did for him . All Glories To HIS GRACE AINDRA PRABH Lilavilasini Devi Dasi July 21, 2010 GLORIES, GLORIES to the devotee of the Lord who has attained His Supreme Abode!!!! For there is no doubt about Aindra Prabhu's total dedication and devotion as a musician for Shri Shri Radha Syamasundara!!! Although we were extremely sorry about his early departure and the nature of it,we rejoiced about his accomplishments as a devotee. We personally grew up in Krishna consciousness with his bhajans and we still go to sleep with them. And, to my husband's constant regret, the old bhajans are not available anylonger and we wish we could have complete and good quality recordings of all of them. But for this we will have to go to Goloka Vrindavana, which will still take many lifetimes for us. Dear Lord Syamasundara, dear Aindra Prabhu, please always accompany us with Your sweet melodies and let there always be fantastic spiritual music for people in this material world!!! Thank you very much, your humble servant July 20, 2010 Dearest Srila Prabhupada, We were so blessed with the association of Aindra Prabhu. He exemplified enthusiasm and dedication to Sri Sri Radha Shyamasundara in so many ways. The most remarkable was his ability to chant the Holy Name, absorbing us all in the nectar of the transcendental taste, for hours and hours. How can he be gone? I wish when he was here I thanked him for his service and the impact he had on my devotional life. Now, I have only his example, which shines so bright. Please allow me to follow in his footsteps. Nagapatni Devi Dasi July 18, 2010 This world is more unfortunate due to the abrupt departure of Aindra Prabhu. He will surely be missed by the entire Vaisnava community. I pray he is eternally situated at the lotus feet of Radha Syamasundara, always singing Their glories. Your servant, July 18, 2010 Our Dearest Lordships Sri Sri Gaura Nitai, Now that our most dearest and most loved kirtaneer , Aindra Prabhu has reached your lotus feet, bless him eternally to serve you, as he served as an example to the world that the holy name and only the holy name can be our salvation. His chants inspired our youth and others who had no interest in spiritual life nor the taste for the holy name… When the name Aindra Prabhu came to be known more and more young people have been drawn to Srila Prabhupadas movement as they listened to his vibrant kirtan chants on his 24 hour kirtan…and now they are trying to follow his example. Yesterday was an emotional time as as the youth in Ladysmith South Africa paid homeage to this kirtaneer… although they had not met him.at all , yet he had made a huge impact to their hearts . We pray that as na eternal servant of Our Dearest Lordships Sri Sri Gaura Nitai that Aindra Prabhu will bless us to continue to appreciate and relish the Holy Name. Your aspiring servants, July 17, 2010 Dear Sri Sri Krsna and Balarama, This world is now feeling the separation of Your dear servant, Aindra Das.

I am praying for Rae and her family to become closer to You, our dear Lord. In this way, all troubles and grief can be overcome. Your servant, Excerpt from Bhakti Vikasa Swami's Website: Yamunanath Das, the Russian devotee who is married to Hare Krishna Dasi's grand-daughter telephoned me just now. Hare Krishna Dasi left for Moscow yesterday and reached there. However, while on her way home in the train, she passed away. Yamunanath Prabhu asked me to pass on this message. He lamented that she was not able to leave her body in the holy dhama of Vrindavan, but fate had it otherwise. Editor's Note from V-CARE: Offer a prayer for Hare Krishna Dasi on our website

Please give strength and peace to her family at this difficult time. Your humble servant, Dear Devotees, I want to ask for prayers for the departed soul of my father who passed away in February this year. Although he was a pure materialist without any interest in spiritual life, I certainly have to thank him a lot since without my parents I would have never looked for God, and I would never had said "Yes" to Krishna and my guru. Despite of his pure material interests I see some good qualities in him that have definitely influenced my life and my personality a lot. In young years he was a very goal-oriented family man. He had a clear vision about what he wanted to achieve in life for his family and how he wanted to die. He definitely lived his material dream. It was amazing for me to see that even his last desire about how he wanted to die became fulfilled. In a material sense he was a very caring father and in terms of reliability, organizational skills, and cleanliness he was always an example for me. He died at he age of 80 years painlessly. I want to ask for prayers that he will become reborn in a Vaisnava family where he can start his spiritual life consciously. Thank you. Your servant, Offer a prayer for Vaisnavi Rani's Father on Vaisnavas C.A.R.E. Website

We pray for this soul so he can very soon return to You and remain at Your lotus feet eternally. Kindly give spiritual strength to his family and help them to heal from their deep loss. Your servant, June 17, 2010 Dear Lord Krsna, Please give shelter to the departed father of Vaisnavi Rani Dasi, Your very sincere devotee. Please give this soul Your unlimited mercy so he can continue in his spiritual life. Please keep this dear soul at Your lotus feet eternally. Your servant, June 17, 2010 My Dear Lord Narsimhadeva, Please accept my prostrated obeisances at your lotus feet. You are so merciful to relatives of your devotees as You so kindly explained to Prahlad Maharaj regarding his father.

Yours, June 16, 2010 My dear Sri Sri Gaur Nitai, I am praying for the dear departed father of Your faithful servant, Vaisnavi Rani.

We would like to inform you that on the 20th July 2010, the second daughter
of Gaura-sakti Prabhu (the president of New Vraja Dhama, and the yatra
president of Hungary) and Adi Radhika Mataji, Padma was born. The delivery
was smooth, and natural. Padma is a nice, strong, long black haired girl. 14
hours after she was born the doctors diagnosed that she has heart problem
called transposition of the great arteries. She was immediately taken from
the hospital where she was born to the Cardiology Institute by the infant
ambulance.
During the surgery the arteries what are in the wrong position will be
relocated to the proper one. These kinds of surgeries are being done in
Hungary since the ’70s and there are 3 more babies waiting for this
operation in the same Institute. After the surgery the situation of the
babies gets better and stabilizes immediately. After the post-operative
period the children are released from the hospital. This will not effect the
quality of life of the babies, their health will be normal and they can even
do sports later on.
