Coming Together: 30th Anniversary of the Mayapur Festival

[Guest guest]

The Mayapur Festival Committee has intensified its planning and organization

for this year's festival to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the first

Mayapur Gaura Purnima Festival. This coming Mayapur Festival will therefore

be particularly ecstatic!

 

Here are some highlights:

 

· Already 15 GBC's have committed to stay on after the GBC meetings to

participate in the seminars.

 

· No festival fees.

 

· Daily transportation available for those not wishing to stay out overnight

on parikrama.

 

· A World Peace Maha-yajna.

 

· Exhibition of the growth of Srila Prabhupada's movement around the world.

 

· Free seminars.

 

· Please write naru-gopal.jps (AT) pamho (DOT) net for convenient advance-accommodation

bookings.

 

· Former gurukula students receive free prasadam and accommodations. (Please
