Dear devotees, PAMHO & AGTSP.

We wish you the best in this very auspicious & blissful occasion of the appearance day of the Supreme Lord Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu from the crest jewel of all the Tirthas Sri Mayapur Navadwip Dham ( the appearance site of The Supreme Lord in 516 years ago) and we pray to Srila Prabhupada to shower his mercy upon all of You during this day and give us more and more Krsna Prema and allow us to do more Seva for Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu and his intimate associates so thus we can achieve pure love for Radha & Krsna.

These days in Mayapur from March 24 we have many Spiritual-Cultural-Artistic activities and our installations are full of nice devotees from all over the world for the celebration of the 30th anniversary of ISKCON Mayapur festival and by the mercy of Our Beloved founder Acarya His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada we hope to have an excellent day full of transcendental activities like Mahaabhisheka that this year will be in Srila Prabhupada's park where thousands can see and bath the lord and this year installations are bigger than ever with 3 altars including one for ladies, and we have none stop artistic programs and none stop 72 hours Harinam Sankirtan in a special pandal, as we had yesterday a great Jagannath Rathayatra attended by thousands of devotees and pilgrims here in Sri Mayapur Chandrodaya mandir, we also have a Mini market, exhibitions and dioramas about Krsna Lila as well amusement park for the children, etc.

Today there will be the opportunity to light 516 lamps to Lord Gauranga as well offer conch and Sankh for performing abhishek so we hope many of you can send and email requesting participation in this unique event, to (bps@pamho.net or tmk@pamho.net) we also have a free prasadam distribution for thousands of people coming and many are here already and we hope that for this seva more and more people will get the opportunity to get love for Godhead as is the desire of Sri Krsna Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
