This year marked a remarkable milestone for ISKCON St. Louis, which celebrated its 50th installation of Nitai-Gaura Nataraja Deities. The deities were originally installed during the last week of August 1974. Over the decades, ISKCON St. Louis has become a vibrant community, serving as a spiritual home and contributing to the St. Louis community. This event was celebrated from Aug. 31st to Sept. 1st at the temple.
Renowned honorable guests who were associated with ISKCON St. Louis in its earlier days shared their insights and realization–both in-person and via Zoom around their commitment towards Srila Prabhupada’s legacy while contributing, establishing, and nurturing ISKCON St. Louis over the decades. The guest list included devotees such as Romapada Swami, Vamanadeva Dasa, Mahamuni Dasa, Chitralekha Devi Dasi, Chaturatama Dasa, Anuttama Dasa, Bhima Dasa, Jalathala Devi Dasi, Ishvaripati Dasa, Shankar Pandit Das, Yamuna Jivan Dasa and Namaruchi Dasa and his wife.
