25 Years of Service in Separation

[Guest guest]

This coming Kartik will mark 25 Years of Service in Separation from our Divine

Master and Savior of the world, Srila Prabhupada. We want to invite all the

devotees, especially those who were present at that divine event 25 years ago,

to join together with the followers of Srila Prabhupada throughout the world

for a wonderful festival of Srila Prabhupada Consciousness. The festival dates

will be 6,7, and 8 November, so you should start planning now how you can

participate in this event for the pleasure of Srila Prabhupada.

 

There will be no festival fees and free prasadam for all. We're also planning

how we can provide free accommodation if we can work out the details. Among the

many events being planned, daily there will be memories of Srila Prabhupada

given by his close followers. One day there will be a glorious Mahasankirtan

party carrying Srila Prabhupada for darshan of the seven main temples of

Vrindavan in the original palenquin we used on that occasion. Everything will

culminate on the 8th with all the leading disciples offering their

sraddhanjalis at the lotus feet of His Divine Grace. This will be followed by

the Maha-abhisheka, with everyone getting the opportunity to bathe Srila

Prabhupada. And then of course the Maha Feast for the pleasure of all the

Vaisnavas.

 

The Executive Committee of the GBC has also put this festival on the agenda of

their coming meeting in July. Anyone who has suggestions, or wishes to help

make this a memorable program is free to contact myself at

<deena.bandhu.acbsp (AT) pamho (DOT) net>. We're in the planning stages right now, to plan

out as many possible programs for everyone to participate in glorifying Srila

Prabhupada.

 

Anyone who was present at that divine moment 25 years ago and has any

difficulty to come, should also contact us to see if we can help in any way to

make arrangements for you. Let us use this opportunity to unite all the

devotees at the lotus feet of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Srila

Prabhupada, and renew our enthusiasm to spread his divine mission throughout

the world.
