Not Hunger, but Hate: ISKCON Kolkata on Man Eating Chicken in Organisation’s UK Restaurant
In a shocking incident, a man deliberately ate chicken at an ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) restaurant in London, sparking outrage among devotees and authorities. The incident has raised questions about the motivations behind such an act and the impact it may have on the reputation of the organisation.
According to reports, the man, who has not been identified, entered the ISKCON restaurant in London and pulled out a packet of meat from his bag. He then proceeded to eat it in front of other customers, filming himself as he did so. The incident was captured on camera and has since gone viral on social media.
In response to the incident, ISKCON Kolkata’s Vice President, Radharamn Das, condemned the act, saying that it was not an act of hunger, but rather an act of hate. “This wasn’t hunger. This was hate – calculated, deliberate, and shameless,” he stated. Das also expressed his disappointment and concern over the incident, stating that it was not what the organisation stood for.
ISKCON is a spiritual organisation that promotes the teachings of Lord Krishna and emphasizes the importance of vegetarianism and non-violence. The organisation has a strong presence in India and around the world, with many devotees following a strict vegetarian diet.
The incident has sparked widespread outrage and condemnation from devotees and supporters of ISKCON. Many have taken to social media to express their shock and disgust at the man’s actions, with some calling for him to be banned from the restaurant and others calling for greater security measures to be put in place.
The incident has also raised questions about the impact it may have on the reputation of ISKCON. The organisation has worked hard to promote its message of peace and non-violence, and incidents like this can be perceived as a setback.
In a statement, ISKCON UK said that it was “deeply saddened” by the incident and that it was “working closely with the authorities to ensure that the perpetrator is held accountable for his actions.” The organisation also reiterated its commitment to promoting vegetarianism and non-violence, stating that it “stands firm in its values and principles.”
The incident has also sparked a wider debate about the importance of respecting the dietary preferences of others. Many have taken to social media to express their support for ISKCON and its values, with some calling for greater education and awareness about the importance of respecting dietary choices.
In conclusion, the incident at the ISKCON restaurant in London is a shocking and disturbing act that has sparked widespread outrage and condemnation. While it is important to respect the rights of others to eat what they choose, it is also important to recognize the impact that such actions can have on the reputation of an organisation and the values it promotes.
As ISKCON Kolkata’s Vice President Radharamn Das so eloquently put it, “This wasn’t hunger. This was hate – calculated, deliberate, and shameless.” The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of promoting peace, non-violence, and respect for others, and the need to take action to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.
