On the 24th of February the Institute for Spiritual Culture conducted their annual program in Mayapur. This year the overall theme was "The Glories of Our Vaikuntha Children", bringing attention to the importance of moving our children into the center of our communities. The chief guest speakers were HH Sivarama Maharaja and HH Lokanath Maharaja, followed by several senior grhasthas. The program took place on the premises of the Old Gurukula on the way to the Goshala. A big pandal was constructed to conduct the event, with its open sides allowing a pleasant breeze to go through. And the nice flower decorations created a festive atmosphere. It was a perfect setting: peaceful, with green surroundings and plenty of space for the children to play outside, and some little parallel program with Krsna conscious story-telling was offered to our youngest participants.
