NAVY WITH UNDOCUMENTED MIGRANTS WAS FOUND

EL SALVADOR FINDS BOAT WITH GROUP OF 76
UNDOCUMENTED BANGLADESHI ILLEGAL MIGRANTS

SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (AP) – The Salvadoran navy says it has found 76 migrants from as far away as Bangladesh, Nepal and Eritrea aboard a boat in the Pacific. Navy Capt. Maximiliano Corado says the boat was detected about 50 miles (80 kilometers) off the coast, and "without doubt the final destination was to arrive in the United States." The migrants include 25 Bangladeshis, 25 Nepalese, 21 Eritreans and five Ecuadoreans. Navy Capt. Corado said Sunday that the boat set sail a week ago from the Ecuadorean port of Manta. He said all the migrants appeared to be undocumented, and all except the Ecuadoreans are to be deported. The Ecuadoreans were turned over to police for investigation of possible migrant trafficking.

WHAT DO THE VEDIC TEACHINGS TELL US?

The jīvas, or living entities, are now detached from the whole due to material contact. It is therefore necessary for us to strive to attach ourselves again through the latent Krsna consciousness that is within us. Artificially, we are trying to forget Krsna and live independently, but this is not possible. When we strive to live independent of Krsna, we come under the influence of the laws of material nature. If one thinks he is independent of Krsna, he becomes dependent on the illusory energy of Krsna, just as if one thinks that he is independent of the government and its regulations, he becomes dependent on the police force. Everyone is trying to become independent, and this is called māyā, illusion.
