MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN
MESSAGE FROM THE VICE-CHAIRMAN Dear Devotees,
Dear TOVP Donors and Supporters, Greetings from Sridham Mayapur and the entire TOVP Team. I am very pleased to provide you with the new TOVP calendar for the year 2026. The calendar theme tells the story of our incredible progress (with your help, of course) since Srila Prabhupada’s direct instruction to me in 1971, leading to the opening of the A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Legacy Museum in February, 2025. While we had originally planned to open the TOVP at the end of 2026 with a three-month-long celebration, we came to realize that the perfect moment for this grand occasion would be as an offering to His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada on his
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Thank you for your continued support and seva to this most monumental ISKCON project and vision of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Fulfilling his desire is our life’s goal and purpose, and I am so grateful to you all for your sacrifices in helping to achieve that purpose. As I travel around the world fundraising, I realize that the TOVP Story, which is the theme of this calendar, is not just one which will end with the opening of the temple. That will actually be only the beginning of the story, because the real story of glory will be how many jivas will achieve the perfection of life by visiting the TOVP. The TOVP is predicted to become the Tirupati of the East , and 60

million visitors are expected annually upon its opening. Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s vision is universal and omnipresent. Krsnadas Kaviraja Goswami states in Caitanya Caritamrta that it will be preached throughout the universe. Our part here on this small earth is to establish Krishna consciousness in every town and village, and the TOVP will naturally be the fundamental source of that influence from many perspectives, direct and indirect. We have only to become instruments in that transcendental lila to participate and help bring it about. Please continue to generously support this project to its completion, and may the Lord bless you with a most prosperous and fulfilling 2026.
50 th Disappearance Anniversary in 2027. It will still be a three-month festival, but shall begin on the most auspicious day observing the tirobhava ceremony of Srila Prabhupada’s entrance into samadhi. As we approach that historic event, I hope all ISKCON devotees will contemplate the importance of this project and the profound influence it will have on the world. As our ISKCON mission is to reclaim the conditioned souls from maya and bring them back to Godhead, the TOVP will be THE major driving force in that direction. This has been predicted by Lord Nityananda, and confirmed by Srila Prabhupada and Bhaktivinoda Thakur. I thank each and every one of you for your support. Let us all continue to work in cooperation for this end. Together we can fulfill Lord Caitanya’s vision of the world sankirtana movement. May 2026 bring you further advancement in Krishna consciousness and the Lord’s seva.
Your servant, Braja Vilasa das
