May 15, 2017 — VRINDAVAN DHAM (SUN) —

It is with our whole heart, that we humbly invite all of Srila Prabhupada's disciples to Sri Vrindavan Dham, in honor of the solemn and auspicious occasion of the 40th Anniversary of Srila Prabhupada's Tirobhava, on the 22nd, 23rd, and 24th of October 2017.

In these three days, our sole focus will be to embrace every opportunity to extol Srila Prabhupada's glories and to express our profound gratitude for his teachings, his books, and his extensive accomplishments. In this way, we hope to deepen our realizations of his immense transformative influence within our lives, both personally and collectively.

A committee is being formed to organize the festival, and we would love to receive input from you with ideas on how you think we can best honor our beloved Srila Prabhupada.

This is the 40th Anniversary of Srila Prabhupada's glorious departure. With deep honor and affection, we beseech you to consider reuniting with your Godbrothers and Godsisters in this most holy of places, to bask in Srila Prabhupada's endless glories.

We look forward to receiving news of your arrival. Please feel free to write with any questions regarding the occasion, along with any input you can offer regarding organization.

Forty years have passed since Srila Prabhupada graced us with his physical presence, yet in accordance with his all-merciful nature, his impact upon our lives endures. Srila Prabhupada's sainthood and domain of blessed inspiration continues to grow and expand over the decades, his glories glowing as brightly as ever!

On behalf of our GBC, His Holiness Gopal Krishna Maharaj, our Vrindavan Executive Board, our Temple President, His Grace Pancagauda, our Vrindavan Management Committee and the 40th Anniversary Planning Committee,
