The 9th Tribal Convention, organized by the India Tribal Care Trust, was held in Mayapur from March 21 to 23, 2025. The three-day event witnessed the participation of hundreds of devotees from across India, bringing together 25 tribal communities, ISKCON leaders, and volunteers.
Deeply inspired by the teachings of Srila Prabhupada, the India Tribal Care Trust aims to uplift the physical, social, and cultural well-being of tribal populations across the nation, while preserving their spiritual heritage and connection with nature. With a vision for a prosperous, healthy, educated, and culturally rich tribal society rooted in dharmic values, the Trust has been working tirelessly to integrate education, healthcare, and spiritual development in remote regions of the country.
The convention began with kirtan and a ceremonial lamp-lighting led by Bhakti Purushottam Swami, GBC, and Chairman of Tribal Care. Students from the Tribal Gurukul recited verses from the Bhagavad-gita. Bhakti Purushottam Swami shared that the boys had memorized all the verses from the first six chapters. The day’s celebrations also included a performance of the Jagannathashtakam by Dhriti Rai and a traditional tribal dance by students of Bhaktivedanta National School from Tripura.
