Janmastami / Vyasa Puja 2020 – Important TOVP Announcement

Promotion Launch for the TOVP Celebration of Srila Prabhupada’s 125th Appearance Anniversary Year in 2021.

Janmastami and Vyasa Puja this year marks the launch of the TOVP Management’s announcement to the ISKCON world of our plans for the celebration of the 125th Appearance Anniversary Year of ISKCON Founder/Acharya, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. While the specific date of his Vyasa Puja is August 31, 2021, we have arranged two very special events to commemorate and worship the Samstapak Acharya for the next 10,000 years.

“I have given you instruction, it will never stop; it will go on. At least for ten thousand years it will go on.”

Srila Prabhupada, June 21, 1976

First, we are organizing a three-day festival that will include Lord Nityananda’s Appearance Day (the adi-guru) on February 25 along with a special in-home, live streamed Prabhupada Installation Program, the official worldwide Opening of the Samadhi of His Holiness Bhakti Charu Maharaja on February 26, and the INSTALLATION OF THE NEW PRABHUPADA MURTI IN THE TOVP on February 27. This installation is of monumental importance as it places Srila Prabhupada in the TOVP to watch over the completion of the project. Six different kinds of abhishekas will be offered and we encourage your support during this Janmastami/Vyasa Puja time. Sponsorship opportunities are immediately available as part of our worldwide combined guru dakshina campaign. Read more at the address below:

Second, for Srila Prabhupada’s Vyasa Puja we will be offering him a one-of-a-kind, magnificent, gold-leafed Book of Devotion containing the names of TOVP donors. This offering of the names of donors to Srila Prabhupada on this most sacred occasion will symbolize the incredible support from all his followers worldwide who have helped to make his dream a reality. The book will be an amazing artistic piece, 15″ (38 cm) x 20.5″ (52 cm) in size and 55 lbs (25 kg) in weight. To have your name included in the TOVP Book of Devotion, complete your pledge by December, 2020 (starting Nrsimha Bricks and up), or make and complete a new pledge. Read more at the address below:
