Dear Devotees,

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

The grand opening of The Glory of India Experience museum in New Delhi happened this morning on the 2nd of October at 11.30AM and proved to be a great success.

The Ambassador of Russia, Mr. Alexander Kanakin, visited the opening and also gave a very favorable speech in the auditorium praising ISKCON's activities, among which is also opening of the museum in New Delhi. After he was given a museum tour together with other VIPs, he expressed his appreciation for the exhibits and also told the cultural director of the Russian Embassy in New Delhi that all children attending the Russian school at the Embassy should come and visit the museum.

Hundreds of people visited the museum during the day and showed their admiration for the exhibits, concepts, and especially, the quadroscope, a new amazing special effect, part of the Srimad Bhagavatam exhibits.

Unfortunately the digital camera we had is not of the best quality, but still it can give you an idea about the opening and the museum exhibits. More photos will come soon, in a day or so.

Your servant,
Dina-natha Das.
