Guest guest Posted November 22, 2000 Report Share Posted November 22, 2000 Dear Raktambara Prabhu, PAMHO. AGTSP. Please post to all users the following announcement. Thanks, Hari bol. ----- ******* SRI MAYAPUR GAURA PURNIMA FESTIVAL 2001 ******* Festival Newsletter First of all, a special note should be made to inform you regarding the ABOLITION OF A COMPULSORY FESTIVAL FEE. Although over the years we have been trying to decrease the festival fee to a minimum (and, in fact, during the past year 2000 Festival we incurred in a loss of 400.000 Rs.) the Mayapur Administrative Council (MAC) and the Festival Comitee members, are concerned regarding the bad feeling that devotees may experience by being charged a fee when they come to visit Mayapur. Although such fee has been necessary (and sometimes not even sufficient) to cover the general expenses that the Festival brings about, it actually may sometimes create a bad mood between devotee-visitor and devotee-residents. If instead devotees will not be charged any fee, it would be easier for them to feel at home, as it should be. Next festival, therefore, there will be no festival fee, but rather an optional donation that one may give, as for his own wish, for helping to cover the huge overall festival expenses. Please take note, however, that room and Prasadam cost should be paid. *** Dates *** 07 Feb. - GBC Meetings start 19 Feb. - GBC Meetings end 20 Feb. - Festival inauguration 21 Feb. - Festival seminars week (six days) 27 Feb. - Gaura Mandala Parikrama starts 05 March - Gaura Mandala Parikrama ends 07 March - Santipur Festival (Prasadam distribution) 09 March - Gaura Purnima 10 March - Gaura Purnima Festival ends 11 March - departures *** Prices *** - Accomodation - Please note that all the prices below refer to ROOM PRICE per day, and not price for each person, as it used to be before.
