TEMPLE OF THE VEDIC PLANETARIUM
CALENDAR 2025 Dedicated to His Holiness Gopal Krishna Goswami
His Holiness Gopal Krishna Goswami Maharaja was the biggest ISKCON leader supporting the Temple of the Vedic Planetarium from its inception. He constantly spoke of the project, gave us suggestions, and invited us to his Vyasa Puja ceremonies and other programs to raise funds for the ongoing construction. He was present at all our milestone events such as the Chakra Installation, Prabhupada Is Coming celebration, Pujari Floor Opening, and Nrsimha Wing Opening. Now that he has departed this world, we feel a huge gap on our TOVP Team, as well as in ISKCON in general. Thus, we felt it appropriate to dedicate to him this small offering of the TOVP 2025 calendar, which will also remind all devotees of this remarkable devotee’s devotion, dedication and surrender to his spiritual master and our ISKCON Founder-Acharya. Maharaja accomplished many things during his lifetime of service under the direct instructions of His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada such as opening of temples, distribution of Srila Prabhupada’s books, managing affairs of ISKCON India, and much more. And included in that long list was Srila Prabhupada’s instruction to him to “construct a temple at the birthplace of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu”, in a letter dated July 11, 1969, quoted on the back front cover image and reproduced here in full.
