HG Radha Jivan Prabhu scheduled a return trip to New Jersey on Friday June 12, 2015, making a special excursion to our humble temple while he was visiting New York with the TOVP team for the grand Ratha Yatra celebrations. As he had promised before, he was able to assist us in collecting $1.2 million in pledges over the next 5 years from some of the local devotees who were able to attend the presentation that evening. This evening alone has singlehandedly shifted the momentum of our project and we are now in the stages of planning a grand groundbreaking celebration this fall to be followed by construction.
Lord Nityananda Visits New Property
This past April Lord Nityananda’s paduka and Lord Nrsimhadev’s Sitari from Sri Mayapur Dham visited our ISKCON center in Towaco New Jersey while on tour to create awareness of Srila Prabhupada’s TOVP project. We were fortunate to have their association for almost a week preceding the presentation they were to make a visit to our new temple project in nearby Parsippany NJ. Lord Nityananda toured the entire property and gave his mercy to our community. That evening the TOVP team was able to raise $350,000 in pledges for the project in Sridham Mayapur to assist making Lord Nityananda’s vision a reality in the near future. HG Radha Jivan Prabhu told us that if the TOVP was able to raise 350K, for our project we will be able to receive far more, and he personally pledged to assist us in doing this.
