ISKCON CONVENTION SEMINARS, RADHADESH 3-7 July 2001

 

Dear Prabhus,

Please accept our obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

 

This year we celebrate the Twelfth Radhadesh Seminar. These seminars were

established to create a European sanga for devotees and preachers and to

help develop a culture of education and open discussion among devotees.

We’ve had some success. For instance the VTE was born at Radhadesh in 1992,

as were other initiatives such as preaching campaigns to protect the

sankirtan movement in Germany, Russia and Poland. The VIHE merged their

courses with these seminars in 1994.

In our present circumstance in Europe we may need to consider consolidating

our opportunities to inspire the devotees in preaching. Practical and

cooperative spiritual sharing will go a long way towards helping our yatras,

temples and devotees learn how to work together; how to plan preaching

together; how to avoid local distortions of philosophy and practice; how to

broaden minds, sustain spiritual education and develop a culture of caring

and concern among devotees.

All of us have a responsibility to help develop this culture in ISKCON and

the tradition of the Radhadesh Seminars serve this need well. We depend on

your sanga to make it work. Every year we offer the opportunity for deep

association, a refreshing devotional atmosphere, great prasadam and of

course, our seminars and classes.

We are looking forward to have your association.
