TOVP Prabhupada International Heritage Museum: Not Your Ordinary Museum
- TOVP.org

The concept of the Srila Prabhupada International Heritage Museum now being organized in the TOVP reaches far beyond that of any other similar Prabhupada museum in scope and exposure. In fact, it will be the largest museum of any spiritual leader in history.

In keeping with our understanding that His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada was the greatest proponent of Vedic wisdom in history, and specifically the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition following in the line of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, the Prabhupada International Heritage Museum will be a world-class museum displaying his life and teachings for the benefit of millions of pilgrims visiting Mayapur for generations to come. Utilizing state-of-the-art means to present the above, the museum will be a sanctuary of divine inspiration through Srila Prabhupada’s vani and vapu in various forms.

Museum Features

  1. A chronological history of Srila Prabhupada’s life will be presented through multimedia presentations, a theater, dioramas, etc.
  2. Historical artifacts will be displayed with appropriate photos of Prabhupada using them, when available.
  3. Sacred art he commissioned will be displayed.
  4. A grand collection of photos of Srila Prabhupada will be displayed.
  5. Guided tours will be available for in-depth explanations.
  6. Seminars and workshops will educate and inspire visitors.
  7. A library and archives with books, letters, audios and videos will be available for research.
  8. Special events will be scheduled for further inspiration.
  9. Sacred spaces for reflection and meditation will be made available.
  10. A gift shop will provide gifts, souvenirs, books, etc. for visitors.
  11. Prasadam distribution will be an essential part of the visitor experience.

The museum will be developed in three stages beginning with 1000 sq. ft. of space, expanding to 6000 sq. ft. and finally to 21,000 sq. ft.. The rate of expansion will depend on various factors such as Prabhupada artifacts collected, displays developed, etc.

At this time, we are humbly begging with straw in our teeth for all Prabhupada disciples who own one or more pieces of Srila Prabhupada memorabilia to come forward and offer it/them for use in the museum for the further worldwide glorification and service of Srila Prabhupada’s mission.

Rathayatra at New Govardhana
→ Ramai Swami

As usual, Lord Jagannatha, Baladeva and Subhadra Devi rode on Their newly renovated Ratha cart at New Govardhana starting near the bridge at the bottom of the hill. This year there were more devotees than ever, some even coming from other states to attend.

On the way to the temple at the top, Their Lordships stopped for offerings of refreshments and dance, with devotees having kirtan all the way. We were blessed by the association of HH Vedavyasa Priya Maharaja and Sri Prahlada, who had just come from the Sydney Rathayatra to lead the kirtan.
