Screenings in Mayapur "The Full Nectarine," a previously unreleased play starring Srila Prabhupada at the Brooklyn Zoo in 1968, and the old "Hare Krishna People," are among dozens of films/videos being shown in the Samadhi auditorium every night from February 19th until March 7th 5:30-7:00 pm. ITV has assembled both historic and rare programs that have become classics in the development of the Hare Krishna Movement. Statistically, most devotees have seen very few of the shows available from the ITV library. The large attendance expected in Mayapur offers an unprecedented opportunity to share these gems with devotees from all parts of the planet. Just 16 Days to Go From Ambarisa Dasa Posted February 9, 2004 Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to Sri Pancha-tattva. Today [February 7] we received news that Sri Pancha-tattva have arrived in Sri Mayapur awaiting Their installation in the temple. We are just 16 days away to this most auspicious event on February 23rd. While I'm feeling very excited, I also am feeling very grateful that so many devotees have stepped forward, joining together to make this most auspicious event possible. If you haven't already become a sponsor, please look at our website www.panchatattva.com where you'll find many opportunities for participating in this "once in a day of Brahma" service. There are only a few weeks left, so please take this opportunity if it is within your means. Your servant, [Article complete on this page] Everyone's Invited Book Distribution Seminar in Mayapur From Aisvarya dasa Posted February 9, 2004 There's a lot being said these days about distributing Srila Prabhupada's books. Some say it's an eternal subject matter. Others say the more we talk about it the more relishable it becomes. The fact of the matter is that Srila Prabhupada was the most pleased when his books went out. That cannot be denied. There is nothing more enlivening for a book distributor than seeing others sporting their book bags and joining him or her out there on sankirtan. Giving out the mercy and hogging all the nectar for oneself is not nearly as relishable as being part of a transcendental team, increasing book distribution in both quantity and quality, bouncing ideas off one another, tuning up Sri Gauranga's outreach program. The sky's the limit when we all help each other out. Reception of Devotees at Calcutta Posted February 6, 2004 Hare Krishna! All Glories to Gaur Purnima Festival 2004 Celebrations!

Giant Gathering By Vaisesika dasa Posted January 24, 2004 This year at the Mayapura festival, book distributors will come together from all over the world to learn how to perfect the art of transcendental book distribution. These gatherings will be held March 2 - 5 and will be conducted by senior book distributors from several countries. Famous veteran book distributor, Manidhara Prabhu is even coming from Europe. And book distribution minister Vijay Prabhu will be there too. Make plans now to attend. Everyone is welcome. Bring new life to your temple or your household. Everyone gets inspired by seeing book distributors walk out the door with boxes full of books only to return with them empty. It's natural for devotees to ask: "Who bought the books? What did they say? What did you say to convince them to take a book?" As the amazing sankirtana stories flow from the distributors' mouths, everyone takes notice. Mayapur:

Pancha-tattva Dear Prabhu, Please accept my humble regards and the blessings of Srila Prabhupada for the well-being of you and your family.

MIHE 2004 Posted January 10, 2004
Dear Devotees,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Sri Caitanya Bhagavata declares that when a devotee studies in Navadvipa Dhama, then vidya-rasa, the taste for learning, awakens within his heart. As ISKCON grows, always hopeful of achieving the footing of a genuinely brahminical culture, MIHE offers its contribution in the very place where Nimai Pandita exhibited vidya-rasa, as Sri Dvija-mani, the jewel of the twice-born. True education is based upon brahminical culture and vidya-rasa. Online semester registration ends January 21st. Schedule:
