Śrīla Prabhupāda Connect Day is an initiative to help devotees deepen their relationship with Śrīla Prabhupāda—not just as a historical figure, but as our eternal guide, well-wisher, and spiritual master. This special day is part of the ISKCON Global 60–50 initiative, commemorating 60 years of Śrīla Prabhupāda’s miracles that continue to shape lives all over the world.
On 9th February 2026, devotees remember, honor, and reconnect with Śrīla Prabhupāda through association, hearing, kīrtana, and shared realizations. The day was designed to remind us how Śrīla Prabhupāda’s mercy is still active and how his vision continues to guide ISKCON today.
The day began early with Maṅgala ārati, darśana ārati, and Śrīmad Bhāgavatam class from His Divine Grace Śrīla Prabhupāda. This beginning set the mood for the entire day. Shortly after, HG Gauranga Dās Prabhu from Govardhan Eco Village gave a brief and inspiring presentation on the preservation of rare manuscripts and sacred texts, lovingly handed over by HG Jahnaviās Prabhu. These valuable works are now being preserved and made digitally accessible to the public, ensuring that Śrīla Prabhupāda’s legacy continues for generations to come.
This was followed by ārati by HG Rameshwar Prabhu and a procession to Śrīla Prabhupāda’s room at the Lotus Building, creating a deeply emotional and prayerful atmosphere. From there, the main event began, featuring senior Vaiṣṇavas, devotees, and students sharing realizations on Śrīla Prabhupāda’s life, miracles, compassion, and unstoppable mission.
Throughout the day, speakers reflected on how Śrīla Prabhupāda empowered ordinary people to do extraordinary service, how humility and cooperation were central to his teachings, and how sincere devotional practice attracts Krishna’s mercy. Kīrtans, talks, and panel discussions reminded everyone that what Śrīla Prabhupāda began is not finished—it is only expanding.
Śrīla Prabhupāda Connect Day is not just a program—it is a reminder. A reminder to stay connected to our spiritual roots, to appreciate the sacrifices of Śrīla Prabhupāda, and to carry his mission forward with sincerity, unity, and gratitude.
