Guest guest Posted May 10, 2001 Report Share Posted May 10, 2001 ISKCON Poland's Premier Preaching Program Invites International Participants Indradyumna Swami, the head of the Polish Festival tour, expects between 2000 and 10,000 people to attend Hare Krsna festivals six nights a week during a four-month tour starting May 26. Back on Polish soil for an 11th year of summer festivals Indradyumna Swami says entertaining thousands of guests each night requires a dedicated team of devotees. "There are almost unlimited services such as acting, cooking, loading our many tons of equipment, setting up the stage, tents and exhibits on the festival site, festival security and, of course, singing and dancing on our 60-person harinama party." The tour is divided into three parts. This year the Spring Tour will run from May 10th to June 22nd, the Summer Tour from June 23rd to the August 2nd and Woodstock, August 9th to the 11th. Dates for a proposed Fall Tour are still unconfirmed. The Swami already has a team of 120 devotees, enough to cover the services on the Spring Tour. However he is eager for all the helping hands he can get for the Summer Tour, focused on elevating millions of vacationers concentrated in small towns along the Baltic Sea coast. Padayatra Europe will advertise the festivals, walking the breadth of the coast. Prominent ISKCON leaders, including Bhakti Caru Swami, Tamal Krsna Goswami, Trivakrama Swami and Candra Mauli Swami, have already confirmed their participation in the Summer Tour. Others are expected to join for the most crucial period, the Polish Woodstock from August 9-11. "Woodstock will be the crowning event of the summer preaching effort," said Indradyumna Swami. "An estimated 400,000 energetic young people will be there. As in previous years, a literal Krsna village of tents will be set up at a prominent location on the grounds. The main tent, the size of an American football field holds up to 10,000 kids at a time. All will be able to take part in kirtana, lectures, plays, and concerts by Undrop, Shelter and Village of Peace. Over the three days, we plan to distribute 60,000 plates of prasadam."
