TEMPLE OF THE VEDIC PLANETARIUM CALENDAR 2024 Visions of the TOVP
Visions of the TOVP is a glorification of the Temple of the Vedic Planetarium through the medium of photography by several devotee photographers in a calendar form to inspire monthly meditations on this most important temple project in Gaudiya Vaishnava history. Once opened, the flood of love of God, Krishna prema, as spearheaded by Lord Sri Caitanya, envisioned by our acharyas and set in motion worldwide by Srila Prabhupada and his followers will swell throughout the universe, inundating the living entities and liberating them from repeated birth and death into the eternal spiritual sky of Goloka Dhama. It is our hope and prayer that this calendar can assist the user in continued contemplation on this most remarkable truth and unprecedented opportunity.
Note: This calendar is calculated for India through the Vaishnava Calendar Services website based on Mayapur timings. Please refer to an authorized ISKCON calendar service for exact timings in your zone such as: www.gopal.home.sk/gcal.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN Dear TOVP Donors and Supporters, Greetings from Sridham Mayapur and the entire TOVP Team.
As you know, we reluctantly had to reschedule the opening of the Nrsimhadeva Wing in the Fall of 2023 to Gaura Purnima time, 2024. However, sometimes reversals turn out to be in our favor, and, as it turns out, we think that Gaura Purnima time will be much more fortuitous for this next milestone in our progress. More ISKCON leaders and devotees will be present at that time, and we have selected February 29, the most auspicious occasion of the 150th Appearance Anniversary of Sri Srimad Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Prabhupada, for the opening celebrations which will continue for two more days through March 2. All in all, we remain inspired and enthused, and hope you will be able to join us at this historic occasion. Thank you all again and again for your continued support. I hope this 2024 calendar, Visions of the TOVP will fill your heart with the spiritual vision that brought the TOVP into existence. All of us on the TOVP Team wish you a very Krishna conscious New Year in the service of Sri Guru and Gauranga.
Ambarisa Dasa (Alfred Ford), great- grandson of the famous American Industrialist Henry Ford, and Chairman of the Board for the Temple of the Vedic Planetarium.
Your servant,
