On February 26th, under the direct inspiration and guidance of His Holiness Bhakti Caru Maharaja, the TOVP Fundraising Team consisting of Jananivas prabhu, Ambarisa prabhu, Mother Svaha and Vraja Vilas prabhu held a fundraiser at the Kolkata temple and raised an incredible $400,000 in pledges to everyone’s amazement.
Led by the Lord in the form of His Padukas and Sitari, the TOVP Team inspired the devotees with the vision of this great world-changing project, bringing not only a sense of unity to all the devotees for the local preaching, but for the worldwide mission of Lord Gauranga’s samkirtan movement. Momentum is building as more and more devotees become enthused to help complete the TOVP construction and see the fulfillment of Srila Prabhupada’s vision. This is due to the fact that it is bringing the members of ISKCON together for a common worldwide cause, above and beyond their local interests, and that this worldwide cause is, in fact, inspiring the local causes to expand and grow. It is as Srila Prabhupada said:
“The more you help develop Mayapur, the more Lord Chaitanya will bless your area of the world and it will flourish”
Letter to Hari-sauri
We are now planning other tours in India, Malaysia, Singapore, and China and Sivarama Maharaja has begun discussions with us about tours throughout Europe. We look forward to bringing the Padukas and Sitari along with Jananivas prabhu wherever we can to enliven the devotees and receive support for this grand project.
