Global Vedic Village

[Guest guest]

Esteemed Prabhu,

 

Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupad!

 

You've probably heard about the monster Prabhupad Festival we're staging at

Cross Maidan in downtown Bombay, February 12 - 20. In keeping with the

theme: "Global Krishna: Prabhupad's Legacy Lives!" there will be a huge tent

called the "Global Vedic Village," to exhibit graphically Srila Prabhupad's

unique international impact.

 

This tent is separated into geographic areas where ISKCON branches from

around the world can display their individual activities, such as Temples,

Farms, Food for Life, Cow Protection, Schools, Prison Programs, Restaurants,

or whatever activities go on in different places. It's also a great forum

for new projects, such as the Moscow and Mayapur building projects. We

expect somewhere between 20 to 50,000 people per day to see these displays!

 

"Display" means anything from a full-on model, to a promotional video or DVD

if you have one, or a power-point presentation, or simply a set of enlarged

photos (with captions), like that. If you have a brochure or other

literature about your Temple or program, these can be distributed (we can

even have more printed here in India if you send the art-work.) This is not

a commercial enterprise so nothing will be sold in the Global Vedic Village.

 

Ideally, there would be one or two devotees from your Temple to man your

exhibit, but in some cases, if no one's going to be here, we can find

devotees here who can pass out literature, show the video or power-point, or

answer simple questions. Even just a stand-alone unmanned photo display will

suffice, with some sort of write-up in large easy-to-read print.

 

We humbly request each of you Temple Presidents to let us know as soon as

possible if you would like to showcase your particular ISKCON activity in

the Global Vedic Village in some way: tangible proof that Srila Prabhupad is

indeed the greatest spiritual messenger of modern times!

 

All glories to all of your wonderful world-wide services to Srila Prabhupad!

 

Your servants,

 

Gopal Krishna Swami
