A Prabhupadanuga festival commemorating the anniversary of the disappearance of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. — 2 miles from New Talavan.
Dear Vaisnavas,
Please accept our humble obeisances. All Glories to our eternal spiritual master, His Divine Loving Grace, Srila Prabhupada!
You are receiving this e-mail because you are invited to attend the biggest festival ever held for the pleasure of His Divine Grace and that ever expanding group of vaisnavas, the Prabhupadanugas. This is aninternational Prabhupadanuga festival.
All Prabhupadanugas are welcome. We just ask that you please respect that we follow this understanding…
· That Srila Prabhupada remains the Founder/Acarya and initiating diksa guru of ISKCON for the perpetuity of ISKCON.
Thus all ISKCON devotees should be disciples or aspiring disciples of His Divine Grace in accordance with his irrevocable
written instructions issued July 9, 1977.
· That the books of His Divine Grace should be published the original way. "The next printing should be again to the original way." (Conversation , Vrindavan, June 22, 1977)
· That other initiating vaisnava gurus should have their own maths (many do) and as far as possible good relations should be maintained between the different camps. In fact, other devotees are never “banned” from visiting our Prabhupadanuga centres.
It is acknowledged that the Prabhupadanugas have some diverse opinions on some issues. This festival is a festival of worshipping His Divine Grace, a festival of hearing, chanting, dancing, honouring prasadam, and a venue for association with like-minded devotees. There will also be forum for discussion of different ideas.

Given that the Prabhupadanugas are presently in exile from ISKCON, we acknowledge the rationale behind the formation of various Prabhupadanuga societies such as IRM, PSS, the Hare Krishna Society, Global Bhakti Yoga Society. It would of course be great if there was just one Prabhupadanuga society pending the reformation of ISKCON. But there’s not.
Thus we advocate a theme for this festival of …
- Unity in Diversity –
Lord Krishna says, “For those who constantly remember My presence in all persons, the bad tendencies of rivalry, envy, abusiveness, along with the false ego are very quickly destroyed.” S.B. 11-29-19
Hare Krishna!
The New Talavan Prabhupadanugas
