Master's Message of Love Reaches Belarus

By Hungarian News Group (Originally in Hungarian)

A team of three disciples from Hungary decided to try to share Master's message of love and compassion with the people of Minsk, the capital city of Belarus. We prepared 36,000 flyers in the Belarus language and started our travel by train on April 29, Golden Year 3 (2006). Although we worried about being able to get through the border, due to God's miracle power our luggage was not even checked. (On the way back it was, but by that time it did not matter.) After arriving in Belarus, we distributed flyers mostly in underground passages and in front of subway entrances. Several kinds of police and militia frequently checked us everywhere we went, within minutes. In Belarus, distribution of any kind of flyer is not allowed. However, some policemen initially still let us do it, as they clearly saw that our flyer’s message had nothing to do with politics and it also seemed unrelated to spiritual groups. Later it became more difficult, as most likely they had been informed of our existence.

Within the five days between May 1 and 5, we managed to distribute all the flyers that we had. Almost everyone took them curiously, and most people read and kept them. Some appreciated Master’s message very much and asked for further information about things like other vegetarian people in Belarus, where to buy vegetarian food, etc. Using a combination of English and poor Russian, we helped them as much as we could.

Orthodox Christian churches are tolerated in Belarus, so we distributed flyers in front of a major church in the city and gave many to church members. Some people who received them said that this was God's message, and that God loves us. One lady even took our flyer into the church to distribute, while another lady asked if we needed some elderly people to volunteer.

We also found that there are vegetarian people in Belarus. Some spiritual groups also exist, but they must keep their identity hidden.

Our biggest discovery was a quiet but positive movement of young people. In Belarus, drinking alcohol on the street is very common, even by young boys and girls. However, the young people of this movement resist peacefully with music, by not drinking, and many of them also by not eating meat! They were extremely happy to meet us. We left 2,000 flyers and some Alternative Living T-shirts with them. These young people had already received and distributed many flyers from PETA (an international animal rights group that promotes a vegan diet). They were also interested in Master's teachings, so we gave them sample booklets in Russian and decided we would keep in contact with them in the future.

Thanks to Master's protection, our efforts of distributing Her message of Love succeeded peacefully, even in this restricted country.
