HG Jai Nitai Das and the ISKCON London team welcomed the Padukas, Sitari and International team in true Vaishnava style with a thundering kirtan outside the temple. Flower petals showered Lord Nityananda and Lord Nrsingadev in their form of Padukas and Sitari respectively from the temple rooftop. This gave great excitement to the onlooking devotees and visitors. This also opened up the book distribution service along the road with curious visitors.
HG Jananivas Prabhu placed the Padukas and Sitari on Srila Prabhupada’s head. The devotees generously donated £140,000 and still collecting. When HG Jai Nitai Prabhu was asked by a devotee as to why they were collecting donations for TOVP when the London temple is finding it challenging to collect donations for themselves. HG Jai Nitai Das, a humble supporter of the TOVP project and understand the philosophies so well replied: This was Srila Prabhupada’s dream project. We will first build TOVP then we will build ISKCON London. All the devotees reciprocated with a loud clap. HG Jai Nitai Prabhu said he always dreamed of HG Ambarish Prabhu visiting ISKCON London and today that wish was fulfilled. Such is the mercy of Lord Nityananda. Today we were joined by Ambarish Prabhu and his wife Swaha mataji who spoke wonderful glories and inspired all to donate.
HG Praghosa Das gave a detailed explanation of the actual building and its meaning and essence of the TOVP project which captured the curiosity of those interested in the actual structure and its contents. As usual everyone batedly waited for HG Jananivas Prabhu to speak. HG Radha Jivan Prabhu dug deep into the devotees hearts with his inspiring talks and inspired so many devotees to donate. Many devotees received gifts in return for their pledges and donations. If you still wish to donate please contact HG Jai Nitai Das and make your pledge! Or contact the Tovp team on: 0744860 6646
