Yes a picture paints a thousands words and all but instantly conveys the message its creator intended. Whereas reading a thousand words takes a little longer!
However best of all is when pictures and words are combined together and that is why this year we are enhancing Srila Prabhupada’s Vyasa Puja book by including photos along with the homages to Srila Prabhupada. So please send us a photo of your temple or project so we can include it along with your offering, so all those who read your offering can get to know a little bit more about where the offering is coming from. The clock is of course ticking and the text for Srila Prabhupada’s Vyasa-puja book has already gone to layout for the print edition. So time is of the essence!
The website and app we promised are well on their way to completion too.
So yes, this year we’ve invited devotees who submitted offerings for any part of the ISKCON leaders’ sections or on behalf of their temples, namahatta congregations, projects, or ministries to show Srila Prabhupada what they’ve been up to through photos. I can say from my heart how inspiring it is to hear the amazing reports from centres around the world. Please show Srila Prabhupada – and everyone else connected to his mission – how your project is developing.
For Vyasa-puja 2025, please send no more than 2 good photos. These can be of your temple or centre, project, a group photo of your congregation, the Lordships you serve – what would you most like Srila Prabhupada to see and bless?
If you haven’t already sent yours, photos are due by July 15, 2025! We look forward to receiving yours.
Please upload your photos here:
(Helpful photo guidelines are available on the site too!)
Interested in joining the team of devotees brainstorming how to make Srila Prabhupada’s Vyasa-puja book as accessible as possible to Srila Prabhupada’s followers everywhere in the world?
Please contact us at vphomages@iskcon.net
We’d love to hear from you.
Your servants,
Vyasa-puja book team
