Take part in this historic inauguration of the reborn Bhaktivinode Asana at #1 Ultadanga Road in Kolkata.
100 years ago this year, on the roof of the building, the seed of ISKCON was planted in the heart of Srila Prabhupada by Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur.
ISKCON Kolkata acquired this historic property and has completely restored it as it was then.
Join us for a live broadcast of the inauguration on February 21st and be inspired by the power of the humble start of what is now a global movement.
The old building at #1 Ultadanga Road is the same one where Om Vishnupada Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Maharaj started his preaching movement and resided for 14 years (1918 to 1932) out of the total 18 years of his preaching mission.
And this is the historic place where His Divine Grace A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada met Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Prabhupada for the very first time and received the momentous instruction to spread Krishna consciousness in the West.
By the grace of Srila Prabhupada, ISKCON has acquired the old property, which had become dilapidated and in danger of collapse, and fully restored it.
Now, as a fitting offering on the 148th Vyasa Puja ceremony of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Prabhupada, ISKCON Kolkata will inaugurate the newly restored building with a daylong event.
The entire day’s program will be broadcast live on GBCSPT YouTube and Facebook channels, starting at 9 a.m. IST.
