Srila Prabhupada Position Committee

Srila Prabhupada performed a miracle by spreading Krishna consciousness all over the world in just 10 years. However, his actual mission is to spread it in every town and village, which was not possible during his manifest pastime. He also did not want just one person to inherit his legacy as his successor. Therefore, this mission needs the concept of collective endeavor for generations. An institution is absolutely essential to hold together a large number of individuals committed to this mission all over the world. Let us take the instruction of His Divine Grace to heart and collectively continue to push his mission forward.

“Sons and daughters, I am so much obliged to you that you have become so enthusiastic for offering Vyasa-puja… And I am very much hopeful that … even if I die, my movement will not stop, I am very much hopeful.” Srila Prabhupada, Sri Vyasa-puja, London, August 22, 1973

This seminar via its beautiful media, artwork and deliverables aims to inspire and facilitate ISKCON temples and communities worldwide to enhance the celebration of Srila Prabhupada’s annual Vyasa-puja celebration to and beyond its previous glory. Making Srila Prabhupada’s Vyasa-puja a grand event would provide more opportunities for present and future generations of devotees to nurture and strengthen their individual relationship with His Divine Grace, and further secure the understanding of Srila Prabhupada’s pre-eminent position in our movement.

In this seminar we’ll explore Srila Prabhupada’s point to cooperate, his counterpoint not to expect Utopia, and his resolution to find unity in diversity, our perennial quest to survive and thrive over time.
