Srila Prabhupada Family Reunion

[Guest guest]

His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada built a house in which

the whole world can live. Many fortunate souls have taken shelter in that

house and become a part of the ISKCON family, especially while Srila

Prabhupada was on this planet. In course of time however, for various

reasons, some members are not as actively involved as they once were. Srila

Prabhupada himself explained that when an acarya leaves the planet, there

are bound to be crises. Srila Prabhupada is not only the Founder-Acarya of

the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, but the preeminent

siksa guru and dearmost well-wisher, guide and friend of every member of

ISKCON for all time. Therefore, it is natural that after Srila Prabhupada's

disappearance, our family faced difficulties, and the most unfortunate

outcome of those difficulties is the distancing of some of our dear family

members. Realizing this loss, the GBC body resolved to hold a "Srila

Prabhupada Family Reunion" in Mayapur during the 2005 Gaura Purnima

Festival. All members of our ISKCON family are humbly requested to attend,

with a special invitation to those who may not currently play an active role

in the society.

 

The festival will commence on 9th March 2005 with four days dedicated to

glorification and remembrance of Srila Prabhupada. Other highlights of this

year's Gaura Purnima Festival include the Sri Panca Tattva Installation

Brahmotsava Maha Abhiseka, the 108th Anniversary of Srila Prabhupada's

Appearance, the 500th Anniversary Celebration of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's

initiation by Srila Isvara Puri, a special festival at Kanai Natasla,

Navadwipa Mandala Parikrama and what is anticipated to be the largest

gathering of Srila Prabhupada's family since the disappearance of His Divine

Grace!

 

Please join us in this glorious opportunity to unite in glorification of our

dearmost spiritual master and the most magnanimous savior of the fallen

souls, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.
