Mayapur

We can go to the big temple.

We can go to the Mayapur.

What I will see there? Nobody will go direct to Vinodvabha.

Vinodvabha.

In Vrindavan we have...

the sweetness, and in Mayapur, Navadvip, we have sweetness overflowing.

So it's going out everywhere.

So I first offer my respectful obeisances to His Divine Grace, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, from whose heart the sweetness of Vrindavan has flowed out all of the world that's reached here in ISKCON Brampton and even Mississauga.

Every year I've been asked to give the global presentation of how book distribution is going.

It's been going on, I think I've been doing that for 25 years.

And they make it the first item of Every GBC meeting in Mayapur, that's the annual general meeting, they devote at least two hours to hearing the report because that was Prabhupada's mandate to make sure you keep book distribution in the forefront.

And that was the first announcement of the 2020 campaign on a global scale.

He sits in this bus.

So, yeah, he's an amazing example of someone coming up in Krishna consciousness and going to Mayapur with his family, successful family.

Yeah, it's great.

So nice.

Then we end with the Flower Festival, and announcing, so the Flower Festival lands on a Saturday, the 23rd.

Monday, we're doing a retreat to Mayapur, that Monday.

That's right.

So if you're interested in that, let us know quick, 'cause we take a small group to Mayapur.

It's a sort of, we call it a level two pilgrimage.

Okay.

Um, yeah.

But where can people find out about that?

And if you're interested in Wisdom of the Sages and hanging out with us, that's gonna be fun also in India.

A lot of people are going, Kastuba, they're gonna go on that, our Wisdom of Sages thing, and then they're gonna do, um, Mayapur right afterwards.

It's a really nice-

Oh, that's perfect

Yeah

... we, we wanted to do something abbreviated for yoga.

But, you know, Mayapur, we call it a level two pilgrimage.

It's people who have already opted in, that Bhakti is their path.

He's tasting the honey.

Sarah Dida's quitting her job, moving to Mayapur.

She's tasting the honey.

I get it.

There's a lake, they call it Radhakund, Shamakund.

Even Bhakti Siddhanta Sastristaka did this in Mayapur.

I think Rupa Goswami and Jiva Goswami are there, and Snath, and also there's a...

There's a description somewhere of where they were living at the time and how they did that.

He's a devotee artist.

Painting massive paintings in Mayapur.

Well, that's the thing, is then when we went to Mayapur, we did a tour of the, the Temple of the Vedic Planetarium, which is, you know, currently still not open.

And, a- and the lower levels of it, there's all these massive rooms, you know? And, and one of them, or kinda two of them, are, like, these big art studios where that very artist, Rastik Nanda, is painting I don't know how many.

There was...

I'm gonna figure it out.

I have to go.

Like, my heart is calling." And it's funny, just the day before, um, y'all were talking about the Mayapur trip, um, and, and, you know, getting everyone excited about that, and I typed on the chat, I said, "Oh, Mayapur is calling my heart," and the next day that happens.
