The TOVP Story, 1971-2022

The Grand Temple Hall

The main temple hall, influenced by both traditional Indian and classical architectural styles, will house the worship of the Lord through blissful kirtans, devotional bhajans, and lectures on the Vedic scriptures. At sixty-one thousand square feet, it will be spacious enough to accomodate ten thousand devotees. The many balconies on the museum levels will also offer stunning views of the Deities and Cosmic Chandelier. The Krishna consciousness movement has established its center in Mayapur, the birth site of Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, to give men the great opportunity to go there and perform a constant festival of sankirtana-yajna, as recommended herein (yajnesa-makha mahotsavah), and to distribute prasada to millions of hungry people hankering for spiritual emancipation. This is the mission of the Krishna consciousness movement. -Srila Prabhupada In many traditional temples, the Deities are kept in small, secluded sanctums, far removed from the world. However, in the TOVP Srila Prabhupada wanted a model of the entire universe to be within the main temple hall. The Deities will thus be seen in the broadest possible framework. This experience generates appreciation of the Lord as the ultimate reality, the origin of all creation, Who at the same time appears before us directly and intimately in His Deity form.
