 TEMPLE OF THE VEDIC PLANETARIUM CALENDAR 2024
Visions of the TOVP
Visions of the TOVP is a glorification of the Temple of the Vedic Planetarium through the medium of photography by several devotee
photographers in a calendar form to inspire monthly meditations on this most important temple project in Gaudiya Vaishnava history. Once
opened, the flood of love of God, Krishna prema, as spearheaded by Lord Sri Caitanya, envisioned by our acharyas and set in motion worldwide
by Srila Prabhupada and his followers will swell throughout the universe, inundating the living entities and liberating them from repeated
birth and death into the eternal spiritual sky of Goloka Dhama. It is our hope and prayer that this calendar can assist the user in continued
contemplation on this most remarkable truth and unprecedented opportunity.

Note: This calendar is calculated for India through the Vaishnava Calendar Services website based on Mayapur timings. Please refer to an authorized
ISKCON calendar service for exact timings in your zone such as: www.gopal.home.sk/gcal.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN
Dear TOVP Donors and Supporters,

Greetings from Sridham Mayapur and the entire TOVP Team.

As you know, we reluctantly had to reschedule the opening of the Nrsimhadeva Wing in
the Fall of 2023 to Gaura Purnima time, 2024. However, sometimes reversals turn out to
be in our favor, and, as it turns out, we think that Gaura Purnima time will be much more
fortuitous for this next milestone in our progress. More ISKCON leaders and devotees will be
present at that time, and we have selected February 29, the most auspicious occasion of the
150th Appearance Anniversary of Sri Srimad Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Prabhupada, for the
opening celebrations which will continue for two more days through March 2.
All in all, we remain inspired and enthused, and hope you will be able to join us at this
historic occasion.

Thank you all again and again for your continued support. I hope this 2024 calendar,
Visions of the TOVP will fill your heart with the spiritual vision that brought the TOVP into
existence. All of us on the TOVP Team wish you a very Krishna conscious New Year in the
service of Sri Guru and Gauranga. Ambarisa Dasa (Alfred Ford), great-
grandson of the famous American
Industrialist Henry Ford, and Chairman of
Your servant, the Board for the Temple of the Vedic
Planetarium.
