Help Devotee Rupa Mañjari Das Undergo Urgent Varicose Veins Surgery

Hare Krishna dear devotees,

My name is Rupa Mañjari Das (legal name: Luis Roberto Coto Hernandez). I am 50 years old and originally from Costa Rica. I joined ISKCON in 1995 at the age of 20 and received initiation in 1996 from Srila Prabhupada’s disciple Sri Padambhuja Prabhu (ACBSP).

Over the past three decades, I have had the good fortune of serving in different ISKCON temples including Costa Rica, Panama, Peru, Brazil, Denmark, and Spain. For the last few years I have been serving intermittently at the ISKCON Madrid temple, including one full year of continuous service.

My main services have been book distribution, prasadam distribution, preaching through devotional music groups, and assisting in temple administration.

Recently I underwent umbilical hernia surgery, which exhausted all my savings. In order to manage the expenses I even had to sell my personal belongings, including my musical instruments.

Unfortunately, I am also suffering from painful varicose veins, and the condition is getting worse. A kind devotee associated with Vaishnava Care arranged an online consultation with Dr. Gaurav Gangwani from Bhaktivedanta Hospital (Mira Road, Mumbai). The doctor has advised that I undergo a surgical procedure.

The estimated hospital expense is around ₹2,25,000 (about €2000). I am able to arrange only 10–15% of this amount, and I am falling short by approximately ₹2,00,000, which is beyond my capacity.

I have already booked my tickets to India for April 2026, as the treatment is more affordable there.

At present I am recovering from my recent surgery while continuing to serve at ISKCON Madrid, but the financial burden of the upcoming procedure is too heavy for me to bear alone.

Therefore, I humbly request devotees and well-wishers to kindly help me with this medical expense. Any support you can offer will be a great help for me to receive the necessary treatment and recover.

I sincerely pray for your blessings and support.

Your servant,
Rupa Mañjari Das

Message from VaishnavaCare108 Foundation

Hare Krishna,

VaishnavaCare108 Foundation is sharing this appeal on behalf of Rupa Mañjari Das, a sincere devotee who has served in various ISKCON temples across Latin America and Europe through book distribution, prasadam distribution, devotional music preaching, and temple assistance.

He recently underwent umbilical hernia surgery, which exhausted his savings, and he is now suffering from severe varicose veins requiring surgical treatment. After consultation with doctors at Bhaktivedanta Hospital, Mumbai, the estimated cost of treatment is around ₹2.25 lakhs, which is beyond his current financial capacity.

We humbly request devotees and well-wishers to kindly extend their support so that he can undergo the necessary treatment and recover.

Your prayers and assistance will be greatly appreciated.

VaishnavaCare108 Foundation is a platform to help people in general, who are in need of financial help due to medical grounds.

VaishnavaCart108® is the registered trademark of VaishnavaCare108 Foundation.
VaishnavaCare108 Foundation hereinafter will also be referred to as VaishnavaCart108®.

1. To provide financial support to the needy for fulfilling their medical well-being.
2. To provide support and care to animals in terms of food, shelter, and medicine, especially cows.
3. To provide financial support, maintenance and development of holy places and goshalas.

Any vaishnava/person who has been referred to by a good-standing authority who is in need of financial assistance due to medical reasons.

Yes

Remittance snapshot from the payment gateway to the beneficiary of a particular campaign will be posted whenever they are done and you will see those details inside that campaign itself.

VaishnavaCart108® utilizes Razorpay, a user-friendly and streamlined platform, to process donations. Razorpay imposes a standard transaction fee of 2.5% on each donation. For instance, if a total of ₹1,00,000 is donated, Razorpay deducts ₹2,500, resulting in ₹97,500 being credited to our account.

Apart from the Razorpay transaction fee, we also bear other overhead expenses, including website domain and hosting charges, CA (Chartered Accountant) fees, and other relevant costs. Consequently, to account for these essential expenditures and ensure the smooth functioning of our campaigns, we typically apply a deduction ranging from 1.5% to 2% per campaign.

If the beneficiary is not able to submit the bills for the entire amount collected in a particular campaign due to which some amount remains with us, then VaishnavaCart108® will utilize it for future campaigns.

Absolutely not.
The directors and volunteers working for VaishnavaCart108® do not receive any salary from the campaign funds. Instead, they provide their services voluntarily as an act of devotion. The campaign money is solely allocated to the intended beneficiaries, however a small percentage of the campaign money (1.5-2%) is deducted towards covering overhead expenses (Website & Domain maintenance charges, Chartered Accountant fees, and any other miscellaneous charges which may arise from time to time) and Payment gateway fees.

With every donation made, we send an acknowledgment mail from admin@vc108.org almost immediately. If you do not receive it, then please do check your spam folder and if you find it there then pls unspam it. If you find it missing in spam and your inbox as well, ping us at the below numbers and we will look into it.

NB: Only condition is your email would need to be free of typo 😊

50% Limited to 10% of income of the Assessee.

We usually post only two campaigns a month. This is because our campaigns are shared exclusively within our own WhatsApp community, and we do not seek support from outside sources in most cases. The devotees who contribute to these campaigns also have their own personal and other charitable commitments. Posting campaigns too frequently may put pressure on them, and over time, this could reduce the incoming donations.

Therefore, we humbly request your understanding and patience until your campaign is scheduled for posting.
If you would like the campaign url in advance for your own circulation, we will be very happy to prepare and share them with you, which you must have also noticed as an option in the campaign posting option field while submitting campaign request. However, the official posting from our side will be done only when it is due, keeping the above considerations in mind.

We truly appreciate your cooperation and support. 🙏

To ensure legal compliance, transparency, and protection for both donors and beneficiaries, contributions are collected through a registered charitable organisation rather than being transferred directly to an individual’s bank account.
Under the Income-tax Act, 1961, money received by an individual from non-relatives without consideration may be treated as taxable income under Section 56(2)(x) if the total amount exceeds ₹50,000 in a financial year. In medical emergencies, multiple well-wishers often contribute, and such receipts in a personal account can unintentionally create significant tax liability for the patient or their family.
When donations are routed through a registered NGO:
The funds are treated as charitable receipts of the organisation, not personal income of the patient.
Registered charitable entities (with valid registration under Section 12AB) can claim exemption on income applied for charitable purposes under Sections 11 and 12 of the Act.
This structure ensures proper documentation, audit trail, and utilisation of funds strictly for the stated medical purpose.
It prevents future scrutiny or disputes regarding the nature of receipts in the beneficiary’s personal tax records.
Where applicable, donors may also be eligible for tax deduction under Section 80G.
This approach safeguards the patient from unexpected tax exposure and ensures that all support reaches the intended medical use in a compliant and transparent manner.
