Iskcon Puerto Rico suffers heavy damages from hurricane Maria

Hare KrishnaBy Guru Prasad Swami

News is devotees are all safe. The temple took great damage. I would like to inform you that our temple in Puerto Rico suffered severe damages. The roof was blown off in the hurricane, and much damage to the temple room and other parts of the temple. We have not gotten a full assessment of the damages to the restaurant, but our preaching center was flooded with 1 meter of water. By Krsna's grace the devotees are all fine. The Deities were moved before the hurricane hit. I hope that our leadership can rally some support for the local temple, restaurant and preaching center, as there are few devotees, and not much financial support from the congregation for major expenses like this one. FEMA is promising to help, but when and who are the priorities is a big question.
