Dear devotees and well wishers,
We are deeply saddened by the loss of life and property and horrendous human suffering due to the recent earthquake.
More than 12,000 people have lost their lives [source: Reuters] caused by the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria on 6 February 2023. This tragedy will have lasting and irreversible consequences in both countries. Humanitarian help in many forms and monetary support are pouring in.
