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.
- Convenient advance-accommodation
bookings. (Please write
naru-gopal.jps@pamho.net)
- 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.)
