Dear Devotees and Friends of the TOVP,
Hare Krishna! All Glories to Srila Prabhupada! This month we will all be celebrating the Divine Appearance of Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, the Golden Avatar. ISKCON is one of the branches of Lord Caitanya’s samkirtan movement, and currently the most well-known. The TOVP will play a very important role in fulfilling Lord Caitanya’s prediction that His name will be heard and chanted in every town and village, and we are all pioneers of this 10,000 year period predicted by shastra and confirmed by Srila Prabhupada.
The TOVP will outlive all of us and carry into the future the message of Godhead and the science of Krishna consciousness, which includes self-realization, philosophy, cosmology, sociology, and every aspect of human existence culminating in spiritual perfection. The long-term vision we each should carry is to see to it that this project carries on well into the future to perpetuate our parampara and Lord Caitanya’s desire.
For Gaura Purnima this year we are offering two important service options:an extension period to complete your existing TOVP pledge, or a chance to fully sponsor a new seva option, either of which will get your name included in the TOVP Book of Devotion to be offered to Srila Prabhupada at his murti installation ceremony in October this year. Additionally, in February we officially launched the PRABHUPADA IS COMING! Installation Abhisheka Campaign on Nityananda Trayodasi, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to sponsor an abhisheka for His Divine Grace’s new murti.
We hope you will all take advantage of some of these seva options. You will personally benefit, and at the same time help with the continued construction needs of the project. It’s a real transcendental win/win situation.
I hope you are inspired by the contents of this March TOVP Newsletter, and I thank you for your support. Have a wonderful Gaura Purnima!
Your servant, Ambarisa das Chairman
