Coming Together:
30th Anniversary of the Mayapur Festival
by
Janmastami Dasa
The Mayapur Festival Committee has
intensified its planning and organization for this year's festival to
commemorate the 30th anniversary of the first Mayapur Gaura Purnima
Festival. This coming Mayapur Festival will therefore be particularly
ecstatic!
Here are
some highlights:
- Already 15 GBC's have
committed to stay on after the GBC meetings to participate in the
seminars.
- Daily transportation
available for those not wishing to stay out overnight on parikrama.
- A World Peace
Maha-yajna.
- Exhibition of the
growth of Srila Prabhupada's movement around the world.
- Former gurukula
students receive free prasadam and accommodations.
(Please notify vedasara.bgv-mva@pamho.net
three weeks before your arrival of your plans. We can only make
these arrangements for those booking in advance.
- Former gurukula
students can attend MIHE courses without fees.
(Please visit the MIHE website at http://www.mayapur.org/mihe/
to see the MIHE schedule and the many new MIHE course offerings. The
MIHE also needs advance notification of your plans, so please submit
an online application form on the MIHE website three weeks before
you attend the MIHE.)
