Rambhadra Das spoke about his experiences and learnings from leading devotees who served in the Covid Food Relief campaign. Apart from the practical experiences and challenges faced on the ground, he also shared the deep philosophical inspiration he and his team derived from the books of  Srila Prabhupada and His personal example to serve humanity.  

About 75 faculty members attended the session. They were intrigued by the fact that ISKCON devotees could take up such a risk of life to serve humanity. Many of them enquired further into the content of the scriptures that could inspire people in that direction.
