Sri Mayapur Chandrodaya Mandir Guest House

[Guest guest]

**** Sridham Mayapur is Growing! ****

 

Dear Maharajas and Prabhus,

 

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada's Centennial Celebration.

 

As time goes on more and more people are coming to spend time at Sri

Mayapur Dhama. The Gaura Purnima Festival is a particularly busy time

with hundreds of devotees visiting from all over the world.

 

To accommodate the growing numbers of visiting devotees, pilgrims and

guests, ISKCON Sri Mayapur has been continuously constructing guest

houses of many varieties.

 

I understand that most of you are anxious about your accommodation

during your visits to Sridham Mayapur, particularly when you will

arrive for next year's Gaura Purnima festival.

 

In our humble attempt to please you, we have begun construction on the

latest addition to the ISKCON Sri Mayapur complex: the Vamsi Bhavan,

which should be ready by the end of January 1996. I therefore

encourage you to please book your room now, and thus be able to stay

in your own home here in Sri Mayapur Dhama.

 

We are offering furnished rooms in the Vamsi Bhavan on the traditional

"betnam" system. For a one time donation you get the use of the room

of your choice, for sixty days per year, for each and every year of

your life. We will manage your room during your absence and will

always have it neat and clean for you.

 

Any way you look at it you gain:

- You help Srila Prabhupada build his transcendental city

- You become a partner in the Sri Mayapur Project

- You serve Sri Mayapur Dhama

- You serve the Vaishnava pilgrims

- You stay in comfort during your own visits to the dhama

 

So secure a room for yourself, or your temple now. Or why not get

together with a couple of friends and make your dream come true --

your own place in Sri Mayapur.

 

Location

 

The Vamsi Bhavan is situated between the new Gada Bhavan and the

Chakra Bhavan on the northern side of the existing temple building

towards Mahaprabhu's birthplace. The five- acre site will be

completely landscaped with a central fountain to provide a garden

environment for the new guest house. A paved road leads directly from

the complex to the Sri Mayapur Chandrodaya Mandir, just a few minutes

away.

 

Accommodation

 

This new guest house is specially designed for families and groups.

Each unit is over 500 sft. in area with an attached bathroom, a

kitchenette and a private verandah. The rooms are bright and breezy

and are all overlooking gardens. Many rooms will have a beautiful view

of the Ganges just a few hundred meters away.

 

The buildings are four stories tall and arranged in a complex of four

adjoining blocks. Furniture and finishing is deluxe standard, similar

to the existing Conch Building. All together 82 units will be

constructed.

 

Availability

 

This facility is being offered to ISKCON temples, ISKCON family and

life-members. Rooms will be alotted on a "first come, first served"

basis.

 

ACT NOW! The offer is limited by the number of rooms available.

Construction will begin by October 1995.

 

Contribution

 

The contribution for each of the units is US $12,500 or Rs. 4,00,000.

This contribution entitles the donor to use the unit for him/her self

or friends for a total of sixty days per year during the lifetime of

the donor. In the case of companies, organizations, or trusts this

facility will be available for twenty-five years.

 

Consider the benefits and help Srila Prabhupada build the city of

Mayapur for the greater glory of Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. The

"betnam" system, given to us by Srila Prabhupada, is used in most holy

places around India. It gives devotees the opportunity to serve the

dhamas by paying for the construction of facilities for pilgrims. The

donor not only gets to serve the dhama but also the Vaishnava pilgrims

who stay in the rooms throughout the year. In reciprocation, the

donors get use of the room(s), at a time of their own choosing, for

sixty days annually for the rest of their lives.
