EDITORIAL  25 Years Of Service In Separation BY DEENA BANDHU DAS EDITORIAL, Jul 6 (VNN) — This coming Kartik will mark 25 Years of Service in Separation from our Divine Master and Savior of the world, Srila Prabhupada. We want to invite all the devotees, especially those who were present at that divine event 25 years ago, to join together with the followers of Srila Prabhupada throughout the world for a wonderful festival of Srila Prabhupada Consciousness. The festival dates will be 6,7, and 8 November, so you should start planning now how you can participate in this event for the pleasure of Srila Prabhupada. There will be no festival fees and free prasadam for all. We're also planning how we can provide free accommodation if we can work out the details. Among the many events being planned, daily there will be memories of Srila Prabhupada given by his close followers. One day there will be a glorious Mahasankirtan party carrying Srila Prabhupada for darshan of the seven main temples of Vrindavan in the original palenquin we used on that occasion. Everything will culminate on the 8th with all the leading disciples offering their sraddhanjalis at the lotus feet of His Divine Grace. This will be followed by the Maha-abhisheka, with everyone getting the opportunity to bathe Srila Prabhupada. And then of course the Maha Feast for the pleasure of all the Vaisnavas. The Executive Committee of the GBC has also put this festival on the agenda of their coming meeting in July. Anyone who has suggestions, or wishes to help make this a memorable program is free to contact myself at Anyone who was present at that divine moment 25 years ago and has any difficulty to come, should also contact us to see if we can help in any way to make arrangements for you. Let us use this opportunity to unite all the devotees at the lotus feet of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Srila Prabhupada, and renew our enthusiasm to spread his divine mission throughout the world. Contact VNN about this story  Send this story to a friend
