The first Gaura Purnima Festival at ISKCON Mayapur was celebrated on Srila Prabhupada’s order in 1972. Though not widely attended by International devotees, it set the standard for an annual festival that has since become the backbone of annual Vaishnava sanga and celebrations in Mayapur and Vrindaban, attracting hundreds of thousands of devotees from around the world.
1972 is also an important year because three other important events took place in Mayapur:
- Chota Radha Madhava
