Upon our request, we have received a number of offers to take over the temporary hospice fund and we are in the process of interviewing some known fair minded, pro active and honest individuals. The Temporary Hospice will remain a branch of VRNDA (the Vaishnavi Retirement and Development Association www.vrnda.org).

The last update from the Permanent hospice in Vrndavan founded by Giriraja Maharaja is that construction has begun and will be completed within a year.

We continue to thank those of you who have been giving every month for the last year and a half, as you have helped so many devotees in need, in Vrndavan (and elsewhere). Likewise, we continue to ask any new donors to give $1, $5, $12, $27, or $47 each month to allow this project to continue until the Permanent hospice is fully operational.

As originally stated, any funds left over once the Permanent Hospice is open will go to Vaisnavascare.com towards the care of patients at their discretion in the Permanent Hospice, once operational. Please go to Buddhiyoga.org for full accountability; and to make donations.

We will keep you updated.

Begging to remain your servant,

Yadunandana Pada Dasa
and the staff of the Temporary Hospice
