Miyagi, Japan — Food for Life Global affiliate FFL Japan provided thousands of kgs of fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as cooked vegetarian dinners to survivors living in shelters in Wataricho Shiyakysho in the Miyagi-ken district for many months following the devastating tsunami. To make the food a special offering to the people of Miyagi, volunteers first unloaded the produce inside the ISKCON Cultural Centre temple and offered prayers so that the food was blessed and energetically purified. “We call this high energy food,” said temple president, Naganatana Das. “By doing this the food becomes nourishing for body, mind and soul, he explained.” The produce was then loaded back onto the truck in preparation for the long 5 hour drive the following morning.
