Welcome to official Gaudiya vaisnava religious community website!
2019/10/14 A GREAT DATE! Gaudiya Vaishnava religious community is registered at the Ministry of Justice! It took as one year exactly to reach our goal of registering the community !
Big thanks to everyone who contributed morally and financially to our goal!
Currently, the community consists of founders, a council, and a large number of uniting members.
Anyone who wants to support the community financially and wants to be named in the Newsletter, let us know by email. email saulesjega@gmail.com, otherwise your victim will remain anonymous and we will not reveal your identity publicly.
FUTURE PLANS
✓ Create a website for the Gaudiya Vaisnava religious community, with an annual maintenance cost of around € 30 (this may vary slightly).
✓ To seek state recognition.
✓ To integrate vegetarian, vegan (mushroom-free) menu into various institutions (education, national defense, social care, imprisonment, personal health care, etc.). Legally, this is already possible, but it has not yet been implemented in reality, and it is hard and tedious work for anyone personally to fight against windmills in these establishments. Therefore, our mission will be to make it easier for everyone and make it possible for healthy nutrition to be available in mentioned institutions all over the country.
