The third annual Govindadvipa Mellows – a kirtan festival usually held on the island also known as Inis Rath in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland – will be held virtually this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The event is co-hosted online on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/events/914108069123040/ by Govindadvipa Mellows and Kirtan Dublin, and will run from 7:00am to 7:30pm Irish time on Saturday October 17th.
As with previous editions of the Mellows, the virtual event will be dedicated to Irish-born Prabhupada disciple Tribhuvanath Prabhu. A trailblazing preacher who united the Irish Yatra and organized Hare Krishna Festivals in the UK, Ireland and Africa, Tribhuvanath passed away on October 16th, 2001.
“There’s a very common saying that a person’s life is measured by how much they are missed,” says Govindvipa Mellows organizer Supriya Radha Dasi. “And although it’s been nearly twenty years since Tribhuvanath Prabhu left this world to be with Srila Prabhupada, he’s still remembered, he’s still loved, and he’s still inspiring devotees to this day.”
Starting at 7:00am with a virtual Deity Greeting, Govindadvipa Mellows 2020 will include previously recorded kirtans and classes by Tribhuvanath Prabhu, as well as new kirtans filmed by various devotees in their homes.
