https:\/\/is.gd\/5l0HUQ<\/a>)<\/p>\nThe world is facing widespread famine \u201cof biblical proportions\u201d because of
\nthe coronavirus pandemic, the chief of the UN\u2019s food relief agency has
\nwarned, with a short time to act before hundreds of millions starve.<\/p>\n
More than 30 countries in the developing world could experience widespread
\nfamine, and in 10 of those countries there are already more than 1 million
\npeople on the brink of starvation, said David Beasley, executive director
\nof the World Food Programme.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are not talking about people going to bed hungry,\u201d he told the Guardian
\nin an interview. \u201cWe are talking about extreme conditions, emergency status
\n\u2013 people literally marching to the brink of starvation. If we don\u2019t get
\nfood to people, people will die.<\/p>\n
Lecture on BG 4.1 — Bombay, March 21, 1974<\/p>\n
\u201cAnnad bhavanti bhutani (BG 3.14)<\/p>\n
Simply by dry lecture, how they will feel happy? There must be sufficient
\nfood grains so that people may live happily, the animal may live happily.
\nEspecially in India you will see. No animal is fatty, either cat, dog or
\ncow. They have no eating. So annad bhavanti bhutani. They must be given
\nsufficient food, annad. Krsna does not say that “You fast and chant Hare
\nKrsna.” He does not say. Krsna is not so impractical. He says, “Eat very
\nnicely, keep very nicely, and chant Hare Krsna. Make your life successful.”
\nThat is Hare Krsna consciousness movement. Krsna consciousness movement is
\nnot one-sided. It is all-embracing. Sarve sukhino bhavantu. Krsna
\nconsciousness movement wants to see everyone happy. Without being happy,
\nhow you can remain peaceful? That is not possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
Parasurama das: Yesterday I parked the van outside the house of some sick and isolated
\npeople, while I made a delivery. Within seconds I had a line of random
\npeople asking for food, whoa, sign of the times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
