Guest guest Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 URGENT!!! Dear Prabhus, PLEASE SHARE THIS INFORMATION WITH OTHER DEVOTEES Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! Srila Prabhupad's whole life was dedicated to bringing the message of Krishna Consciousness to everyone on the planet. In the 108th year of his birth, to re-affirm Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupad's pre-eminence as the greatest spiritual messenger of modern times, a grand-scale Prabhupad Festival will be celebrated at Cross Maidan in downtown Bombay, modeled after the 1971 Cross Maidan Pandal where Srila Prabhupada took Bombay by storm. To inspire the same cultural renaissance and revive the names Prabhupad and Bhaktivedanta Swami I appeal to all of Prabhupad's children and grand children to be a part of this joyous celebration of Srila Prabhupad. Once again the whole city will be alive with excitement about the Hare Krishna Festival. Thousands of global ISKCON devotees assembled in one place will demonstrate Prabhupad's living legacy, and for devotees it will be a blissful experience beyond compare. The dates for the festival are from Saturday the 12th February to Sunday the 20th February, 2005. Many of Prabhupad's most advanced disciples from around the world have already confirmed their arrival and participation. They will givemorning and evening lectures just as Prabhupad did back in 1971.A huge"Global Vedic Village" will be erected to exhibit Srila Prabhupad'sworld-wide achievements with displays from dozens of ISKCON branches. --------------------------- YES, I WANT TO BE THERE! --------------------------- ACCOMMODATIONS: For you to join us for the Festival, various options of staying facilities at Mumbai are given below; once you choose your type of accommodation, you should contact ABHIRAMA DAS at email address <prabhupadfestivalmumbai (AT) pamho (DOT) net> or by telephone at +91-22-2369-7228, andhe will book your room(s).
