HH Gopal Krishna Maharaj’s Vyasapuja a Grand Success for the TOVP

On September 8th, in New Delhi, HH Gopal Krishna Maharaj’s disciples held his Vyasapuja celebration. This years celebrations were held with a special message. With folded hands Maharaj requested his disciples to come together in support of the construction of the Temple of the Vedic Planetarium. Maharaj emphasized how magnificent and glorious this new temple in Sri Mayapur would be.

During the program a letter written in 1969 from Srila Prabhupada to HH Gopal Krishna Maharaj was read out loud. In the letter Srila Prabhupada requested Maharaj to consider building a temple for Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu in Sri Dham Mayapur.

HH Gopal Krishna Maharaj especially invited Lord Nityananda’s padukas and the TOVP fundraising team for the occasion. Maharaj generously offered the fundraising team a prime time slot to make their presentation.

Due to the mercy of their spiritual master, HH Gopal Krishna Maharaj’s disciples enthusiastically made commitments to support the construction of the TOVP. More than 700 devotees made pledges that day, totaling more than 2.5 million dollars.

The willingness of Maharaj to open his doors to the TOVP fundraising team, despite the fact that he has five major temple projects of his own to complete, encouraged everyone present.

The leaders of ISKCON have shown great appreciation for the effort Maharaj has made to assist the TOVP Project. For this act of devotion to the lotus feet of Sri Sri Radha Madhava and Srila Prabhupada, we congratulate and offer him our heartfelt gratitude.

Hare Krishna,

TOVP Fundraising Team
