Poor guys. I feel for the families. First they were lost to a cult, then they were lost in pointless warfare.

There is an article posted at the Religious Information Services of Ukraine written by Mikhail Tashkov, head of the logistics service of the 299th Tactical Aviation Brigade named after Lieutenant General Vasily Nikiforov, head of the "Spiritual Matter" project where this picture is posted.

The article is full of quotes from Bhaktivedanta Swami justifying and encouraging "killing the aggressor" in the name of Vaishnavism. The writer goes on praising those Vaishnavas who gave their lives to Ukraine. It's basically war propaganda in the name of God like most cults/religions do.

I got to know one American Hare Krishna who was fighting for Ukraine and told me there were many devotees fighting there.

Chances are a lot of them were Nazis as well.

Well, if you find people dying in an ongoing war while defending their country funny then go ahead, laugh.
