TOVP – The Second Hare Krishna Explosion

In 1984, Srila Prabhupada’s dear disciple and first editor, Hayagriva dasa, published his long-awaited book, The Hare Krishna Explosion, The Birth of Krishna Consciousness in America, 1966-1969. In it he described the earliest days of the Hare Krishna Movement, soon to become ISKCON, the International Society for Krishna consciousness, and the ensuing explosion of growth that took place, eventually to shake the entire world.

He quotes Srila Prabhupada, “Just as Krishna is always expanding, anything related to Krishna is also expanding.” And the expansion has been continuing ever since until the present time.

Now, with the Grand Opening of the TOVP just around the corner in 2026, scheduled for a three-month-long celebration of kirtan, cultural programs, festivities, and the relocation of our beloved Mayapur Deities into Their new home, the second Hare Krishna explosion is going to take place, only even bigger this time.

The TOVP has been predicted by visiting priests from the famous Sri Venkateswara Temple of Tirupati in South India, which attracts 24 million pilgims annually, to become the ‘Tirupati of the East’. The anticipated numbers from data sources predict 60 million visitors a year! That’s ten times the current annual visitors to ISKCON Mayapur.

This huge wave of visitors, along with social media and general media coverage, and the immense book distribution flowing from Sridham Mayapur, will create the second Hare Krishna explosion, the likes of which no one can even imagine, empowering every ISKCON temple and devotee with spiritual potency to preach message of the Lord.

Around the world the kirtan of the Holy Names and Mahaprabhu’s glories will be heard, Gaudiya Vaishnavism and the truths our acharyas have revealed will become the focus of discussions, the Bhagavatam’s cosmological concept the subject of scientific research, Srila Prabhupada’s name will become a household word and his books recognized as the encapsulation of all Vedic wisdom for modern times, and the Hare Krishna Movement will be accepted as presenting the authorized path back to Godhead in the Kali-yuga.

And as devotees and followers of ISKCON living during this extraordinary and historic time, we will be seen as the pioneers of this explosion that changed the world.
