OUR MISSION 26 MARATHON

In a moment of extreme compassion and urgency Srila Prabhupada said, "My idea is to attract the people of the WHOLE world to Mayapur". Now that time is fast approaching and the official date of the TOVP Grand Opening in 2026 is TO BE ANNOUNCED SHORTLY. We have two years to the opening of this monumental project, one which will change the course of human history for generations into the future by dispelling the darkness of ignorance in the world and opening the flood gates of Krishna consciousness to all human society. Time is of the essence and it's essential we all work and pray together cooperatively as a worldwide community to insure the TOVP is completed for the pleasure, glory and victory of Srila Prabhupada. This is our combined offering to him out of gratitude for the great eternal gift he has given to us, and we will all be blessed in the process of serving him, our acharyas and Lord Gauranga's holy place of Sridhama Mayapur.

  • In 1971, as a young devotee in Calcutta, Giriraja Swami approached Srila Prabhupada, “I have been trying to understand what your desire is. And two things seem to please you most: distributing your books and building the big temple in Mayapur.” Prabhupada’s face lit up, his eyes opened wide, and he smiled, saying:

    “Yes, you have understood....If you all build this temple, Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura will personally come and take you all back to Godhead.”

THE TOVP MISSION 26 MARATHON FUNDMETER

Together we can make Srila Prabhupada's dream a reality

The below TOVP Fundmeters represent the actual income and projected funds needed to complete Phase Two of the TOVP construction and reach our goal to combinedly offer Srila Prabhupada the completed project by Gaur Purnima, 2026. Together let’s all do our part to keep the meters in the 'Green Zone'! Although our actual 6-year budget is $50M, the $35M goal indicated is what we expect to raise from devotees worldwide in keeping with our motto, "Raising Lord Caitanya's temple by the hands of every devotee". The $15M balance will be raised from well-wishers.

Monthly goal: $800,000

YEAR 2024

Yearly goal: $10,000,000

2023 - 2026

4-Year goal: $35,000,000

SRILA PRABHUPADA QUOTES ABOUT TOVP



  • My idea is to attract people of the whole world to Mayapur.
    26/6/1976 NEW VRINDAVANA - JAYAPATAKA MAHARAJA
  • Now here in India we are constructing a very large Vedic Planetarium...within the planetarium we will construct a huge, detailed model of the universe as described in the text of the fifth canto of Srimad Bhagavatam. Within the planetarium the model will be studied by onlookers from different levels by use of escalators. Detailed information will be given on open verandahs at the different levels by means of dioramas, charts, films etc.
  • ...We shall show the Vedic conception of planetary system within this material world and above the material world…We are going to exhibit the Vedic culture throughout the whole world, and they’ll come here.
    27/2/1976 MAYAPUR – MORNING WALK
  • Now you all together make this Vedic Planetarium very nice, so that people will come and see. From the description of the Srmad-Bhagavatam, you prepare this Vedic Planetarium.
    15/6/1976 DETROIT – CONVERSATION IN SRILA PRABHUPADA'S ROOM
  • And we have asked government to give us 350 acres of land in Mayapur to construct Vedic Planetarium, 350 feet high. It will require eight crores of rupees minimum. I shall exhibit there all the planetary system, bhurloka, Goloka...
    12/4/1976 BOMBAY – MORNING WALK
  • Sources (of funds) means we get contributions from all over the world. All of our branches will gladly contribute. Practically this institution is the real U.N. We have the co-operation from all nations, all religions, all communities, etc. It will be an international institute. To see the Planetarium and how things are universally situated has nothing to do with sectarian ideas. It is a scientific presentation of spiritual life.
    6/6/1976 NEW VRINDAVANA – JAYAPATAKA MAHARAJA
  • We are going to have a very big project at Mayapur. We have to acquire 350 acres of land from the Government and construct a spiritual town... The plans and contemplations are going on in different phases, now when Caitanya Mahaprabhu will be pleased it will be taken up.
    26/8/1976 NEW DELHI – DINESH CANDRA SARKAR
  • Actually it will be an unique thing in the world. There is no such thing all over the world. That we shall do. And not only simply showing museum, but educating people to that idea.
    27/2/1976 MAYAPUR – MORNING WALK
  • Yes, we shall personally supervise everything there at Mayapur, instead of giving everything to contractor. The engineer may simply see that things are being done properly and we shall see that the labor is working properly. Purchase first-class building materials, then there will be first-class building.
    17/5/1972 LOS ANGELES – JAYAPATAKA MAHARAJA
