In December of 2015, to celebrate Gurudeb Baba Hariharananda's Mahasamadhi, the KVG Monastics and some of the midwest Kriyavans arranged for food donation for the local pantry and also volunteered in the local soup kitchen. Their noble deed earned words of praise from the locals and also helped spread the word about Kriya Yoga.
Words of Praise from Liftup Ministry
For the same occasion KVG also donated winter clothing to local school district
Good words from Joliet Board of School Inspector
