Make your Place in history!
My name is Dayal Mora das, I’m the Temple President of ISKCON London, Soho Street. We are on the edge of making history but some additional seva is required to complete the yajna.
ISKCON London was established by Srila Prabhupada when he installed Sri Sri Radha-Londonisvara in 1969 at 7 Bury Place. They were the first full size Radha Krishna deities in ISKCON.
Unfortunately we lost that building in 1978 and moved to the current location on Soho Street. Still devotees would visit and stand outside 7 Bury Place as it’s the temple where so many devotees joined the movement and also where George Harrison would go to meet Srila Prabhupada. It’s a holy place, a tirtha. The history is more meaningful as it’s the place Srila Prabhupada began his conquest of the old British Empire through his Krishna Consciousness movement.
By Krishna’s grace, a few days ago 7 Bury Place came to auction without warning and I bid for £1.6m in an entrepreneurial spirit. In reality I’m not an entrepreneur, I’m a simple brahmacari, but still I feel we got a very good price. It was clearly Krishna’s hand at work.
I didn’t think too much where the money would come from and I never felt I was alone, rather the whole ISKCON world was with me.
I have already committed to emptying the temple account and putting it all into 7 Bury Place, because it is of such high importance to our heritage and identity, as disciples of Srila Prabhupada and members of his divine movement.
By some good fortune we have managed to get together half the required amount, for the remainder we are looking for your support.
We therefore offer this opportunity for everyone to contribute to this yajna, whether it’s a contribution of one pound or one hundred thousand pounds! Any small contribution is of great help and we humbly request your assistance in raising the outstanding balance so we can reach the goal of £1.6m. All those who donate will be recognised and their names will be published, unless desiring to remain anonymous.
We have until Dec 31st to fulfil the full price of purchase. This is a place for every Krishna devotee to come and take shelter and remember the eternal pastimes of the world acharya in the capital of the old Empire.
Let’s fulfil this yajna together!
