Csaba Black
Ten years ago, a monk first introduced me to the Bhagavad-gita, and through it I became acquainted with the philosophy and principles of Krishna consciousness. I was very drawn to the aspect of self-improvement in Vedic philosophy, as well as the idea of transcending ourselves to live by helping others. While working at the time, I would get up at 2 a.m. to attend the morning spiritual programs, and on weekends or holidays I would try […]

A toy for every child!
„The toy. The strange one. Round and beautiful, wonderfully lovely and wonderfully good, it opens and closes—a button, a sphere, a bead, a ring. A magic key and the flame of a candle, a colorful shadow lantern.” (Dezső Kosztolányi: The Toy) A few weeks ago, our foundation launched its program titled ’Toys for Every Child!,” which aims to bring joy to as many children across the country as possible with a variety of toy gifts. Our organization […]

Éva Várallyay
I’ve long been thinking about how I could be a more useful member of society. How could I, too, help people? I believe that helping those in need should be our fundamental duty. We cannot know what plans God has in store for us. A long time ago, when I was playing with my children at the playground and helped a little girl who was crying because she had fallen and her mother wasn’t there at the moment […]
