Hare Krishna 🙏
We humbly seek your support for Sanjay Nagnath Thamke Prabhu, aged 43, who serves at ISKCON Hadapsar, Pune, and who is presently awaiting urgent cardiac treatment.
On 26th August 2026, he suffered a heart attack — severe chest pain radiating to his left shoulder, with profuse sweating and breathlessness. He was rushed first to a nearby hospital and then admitted to Sassoon General Hospital, Pune, where he remained under the Department of Medicine for seven days.
Angiography at the hospital’s Department of Cardiology revealed Triple Vessel Disease — a 90% blockage in the LAD artery, a 90% blockage in the LCX artery, and a 100% occlusion of the RCA artery. The doctors’ advice was clear: he requires bypass surgery (CABG).
Because of the heavy backlog of patients at the government hospital, his surgery has been postponed by nearly two months. Living with blockages this severe, every week of waiting carries a serious risk to his life.
To bridge this dangerous gap, Dr. Kanhaiya Jeswani, Consultant Interventional Cardiologist, has advised him to begin EECP therapy (Enhanced External Counterpulsation) without delay. The full course of 35 sessions costs ₹70,000.
Sanjay Prabhu’s financial condition is extremely fragile, and he is unable to meet this cost on his own.
We humbly request devotees and well-wishers to come forward and extend their support. Your contribution, however small, will help him begin this treatment immediately and carry him safely through to the day of his surgery.
Let us come together in this difficult time and offer our support, prayers, and seva to him and his family.
🙏 Hare Krishna 🙏

VaishnavaCare108 Foundation hereinafter will also be referred to as VaishnavaCart108®.
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.
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.
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.
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. 🙏
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.
