Massive explosion🔥in North East Bharat. Yes, Hare Krishna explosion!

With 200 schools, where more than 4,300 tribal students are studying, we can say that we have stopped the giant wheel of the conversion mafia in many villages where ISKCON TRIBAL CARE has reached. Our tribal brothers are returning back to their roots. Many small children's who are studying in our school's can recite more than 100 Gita slokas at a stretch.

ISKCON Tribal Care, for the last decade, has been working with the tribes. These villages are in very remote areas and there is no mobile network. Most villages are only accessible by boat and devotees have to walk 10 to 15 kms to reach our bases in some parts. While some states, like Mizoram, pose a herculean task due to the government's old policies banning Sadhus from entering the state, most other northern states, especially Assam, due to the strong government of Shri @himantabiswa , ISKCON Tribal Care is able to bring back people to their roots, which is Sanatan Dharm.

However, we have seen a huge illegal infiltration of people from Bangladesh, which is a matter of great concern. Details can be found in the tweets below in this thread.

Here is a thread on our visit to these tribal villages during this Christmas holiday and how we celebrated Hare Krishna festivals with the tribes. Please read and share. If you want to support, there are details in the last tweet of this thread. Hare Krishna 🙏 .......1/8... continued...

Tweet 2/8: Tribal students from our Bhaktivedanta school & Nimai Pathsala performed various cultural programs on 25th December. These students are not only taught regular subjects along with Vedic shastra but are also trained in sastra or martial arts, yoga, etc. They are naturally very fit, and an added advantage is that there is no mobile network in these tribal places, which is beneficial for their overall mental and physical development... continued in next Tweet..3/8

Tweet 3/8: In our school, instead of teaching students 'A' for 'ANIMAL' and 'D' for 'DONKEY,' we teach them 'A' for 'ARJUNA' and 'D' for 'Dronacharya.' This way, alongside learning alphabets, they gain insights from the great characters of our heroes.

Sanatan Dharma teaches its students loyality towards own Rashtra Bharat, while other relegious groups lacks it. At our schools, students are taught loyality towards Bharat.

HG @amoghliladas prabhu, who is also traveling in tribal areas, is imparting knowledge to students in his trademark captivating style. ...continued in next Tweet..4/8...

Tweet 4/8: One of the main challenges for ISKCON devotees is that tribal families live scattered across the hills. Each family resides on a different hilltop, and reaching them sometimes requires walking many kilometers through dense forests and even rivers. During the monsoon for four months, these families are completely cut off from even their nearest neighbors. In this video, we visited a tribal family that has returned to Sanatan Dharma. Witness how they, with their family, worship Sri Sri Radha Krishna with such love and devotion. We observed that every tribal family that has embraced Sanatan Dharma wears tilaks on their foreheads, including their children.

Tweet 5/8: On the first day, when we could still use a car to reach some tribal villages, our car broke down, and we had to walk 15 kilometers in the dark night to our base camp. Locals informed us that illegal immigrants from Bangladesh are occupying these hills, and the danger is not from the wild animals or snakes but from these people. Continued....6/8...

Tweet 6/8: One notable concern we've noticed is the infiltration of illegal immigrants from Bangladesh into the hills of the North East, where they are forcibly occupying land belonging to tribal communities. They earn money by selling natural resources from the forest and continue to multiply in numbers. About six years ago, a minor daughter from a tribal devotee family was kidnapped and brutally killed by a Muslim youth after a heinous act. Addressing the expulsion of these illegal Bangladeshi migrants poses a significant challenge for the government in the North East. continued...7/8...

Tweet 7/8: For the past decade, ISKCON TRIBAL CARE has been silently working in tribal areas across India, led by His Holiness Bhakti Purushottam Swami. We appeal to you to contribute and share this message, aiming to protect the entire North East from the influence of the giant conversion mafia and population jihad. For contributing please find details in the next tweet in this thread: ...
