INVITATION TO AN EXTRAORDINARY EVENT

Dear Disciples, followers and well-wishers of Srila Prabhupada,

2011 is a special time for all members of Srila Prabhupada's Australian
Family.

It marks a milestone in the history of the Krishna Consciousness Movement that began back in 1971, when we were all in the prime of our youth.  2011 marks the 40th Anniversary of Prabhupada's arrival in Australia, and 40 years  since Australia's first Deities - Radha Gopinatha - were lovingly carried across the Pacific in

Dear Devotees,

Jaya Srila Prabhupada. On the last day of 2010, I wish you all a wonderful Krishna conscious 2011. For me, the greatest and most inspiring challenge in the coming year is to strengthen ISKCON in the western world.

In 1970 Srila Prabhupada dramatically established ISKCON in India. The movement also spread throughout East and

We have to truly become favourably disposed to everyone That is when we see great personalities - that is their nature. They are favourably disposed to everyone, and you see someone like Prabhupada - even he could chastise someone, but they still felt that actually he is very very merciful

Next month marks the auspicious 8th Anniversary of Vrinda Kunda Temple opening! To celebrate we are organizing special parikramas to the Holy Places of Braja, culminating with our famous Kalash Yatra, an ecstatic Sankirtan procession with the ladies carrying water pots with coconuts on their heads. Programs will be going on from 15-27 Feb with the main parikrama days between 19 and 26.

Last year there was Purusottama Month, so all the festival dates are late this year and the Vrindavan Festival a
