Cooking prasadam in the community kitchen

How It All Began

In 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the streets of Mayapur were quiet. Lockdowns had disrupted livelihoods across the region, and many families in the surrounding villages were struggling to put food on the table.

It was during this time that an unexpected donation from grandparents became the seed of something extraordinary. What started as a simple impulse to cook and share a meal with those in need grew into a daily practice, then a weekly program, and eventually a full-scale food relief operation.

From a small kitchen in Sri Dham Mayapur, TH3 LOT began distributing prasadam -- vegetarian food sanctified through offering to Lord Krishna. By boat across the Ganges delta, by rickshaw through rural roads, and on foot through village lanes, the team reached communities that other aid programs had missed.

Today, over 250,000 plates later, the mission continues to grow. But the spirit remains the same: cook with devotion, serve with love, and trust that the Lord provides.

How Did TH3 LOT Come About?

TH3 LOT is the name of our kitchen. We pray for a plot of land. A co-op where people come together as a spiritual community, share their skills and grow veggies — living off the land.

Over time the meaning of TH3 LOT developed — TH3 LOT means everyone, the lot of us together on this Earth. We are all on this planet together — we require a broader vision to understand that we are all in the same family, and the Earth is our mother.

And finally, the confidential meaning of TH3 LOT is "The Lord Owns This." So why the 3? Well, it is an acronym for Krishna, the Lord of Threes.

Sri Dham Mayapur

Our kitchen is located in Sri Dham Mayapur, West Bengal, India -- one of the most sacred pilgrimage sites in the world and the birthplace of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. From here, we distribute prasadam across villages throughout the Mayapur-Navadwipa region, reaching remote communities by boat and rickshaw.
