Inside Our Humble Widow's Traditional Kitchen

Inside the humble kitchen of Radha Kunda, the widows continue to prepare meals with the highest level of cleanliness, preserving the traditions and standards they learned in their Bengali villages. Here, the widowed women can be seen cooking chapattis on the ground, a method they prefer as it connects them to their roots and keeps the cooking process authentic and grounded. This traditional style allows them to prepare fresh, soft chapattis with great precision—using freshly ground local grains from the nearby Radha Kunda market.

Unlike the standing methods often used in Western kitchens, this crouching position allows the widows to move freely and comfortably, following the cooking techniques they've known all their lives. Their hands, steady and sure, roll and cook up to 800 chapattis every day, offering hot meals to the community, prepared with love, care, and the highest level of attention to detail.

In this traditional kitchen, every meal embodies the essence of Vrindavan's simplicity, community, and devotion—a connection between the past and present and a reflection of the women’s unwavering dedication to their service.

Widows Distributing Meals with Love

After the meals are prepared, the widows of Radha Kunda take on the important task of distributing the meals to their fellow widows and community members in the beautiful courtyard of Madan Mohan Mandir, along Shayma Kunda's banks. With sweet smiles on their faces and hearts full of loving devotion, these gentle women share their freshly prepared meals with women in need in the Radha Kunda community, ensuring no one goes without the nourishment they deserve. This simple, yet loving offering is more than just charitable meal distribution, for these women their offering is an act of service to the community, creating space for loving connection and devotion as they serve the sacred land of Vrindavan with selfless love and grace.

Every morning and evening, the widows rise to remove debris, flowers, and other offerings from previous pujas, ensuring the sacred waters remain clean and pure. They also focus on maintaining the ghats, samadhis, and surrounding temples, which have been integral to Vrindavan’s history for centuries. Their dedication is unwavering, as they serve with love and devotion, keeping these holy places ready for pilgrims and devotees to honor and worship in this sacred land.

Our Brajavasi Community Cleaning Around Govardhan

The work of the Brajavasi men and women continues as they dedicate themselves to cleaning and maintaining Govardhan Hill and its surrounding areas. This month, they focused on the parikrama paths, gardens, and sacred temples throughout Govardhan. The ongoing issue of trash requires daily maintenance, but thanks to the tireless efforts of our community, Govardhan's most important places remain beautiful, clean, and welcoming. The efforts to remove debris and keep sacred spaces pristine ensure that pilgrims who come to worship can do so in a beautiful and peaceful environment.
