London Yatra: ISKCON50 Festival of Srila Prabhupada’s Arrival in Boston
Date: Thursday, 17th September
On 17th September 1965, Srila Prabhupada reached Boston’s Commonwealth Pier in hopes of fulfilling the order of his spiritual master. The ship was to stop briefly in Boston before proceeding to New York City. Fifty years on, on 17th September 2015, we will be commemorating this milestone at ISKCON-London with a range of festivities.
He took a short walk into the city and then returned to the ship. As he awaited the ship’s departure for New York, Srila Prabhupada composed a Bengali poem, entitled “Markine Bhagavat-dharma” (“Teaching Krsna Consciousness in America”). Being a pure devotee of Sri Krishna, Srila Prabhupada prayed, “I wish that You may deliver them. Therefore, if You desire their deliverance, only then will they be able to understand Your message.”
We would like to invite everyone to come and take part in this festival.
