PURI PARIKRAMA 2018 INVITATION

O n behalf of ISKCON Mayapur, we would like to welcome you to celebrate our 14^th anniversary of Sri Kñetra Parikrama. This parikrama has been performed since the time of Vidyapati, who was one of Lord Jagannatha’s most intimate worshippers, serving under the great King Indradyumna. Following in the footsteps of our previous acaryas, ISKCON Mayapur has been organizing this parikrama for the last 12 years, on the specific days prescribed for Sri Ksetra parikrama, as recommended in the scriptures and observed by many previous generations. In 2017, approximately 8,000 devotees participated in this parikrama, and more are expected to attend this year.

The parikrama will be blessed with the association of many senior devotees, such as:

• His Holiness Lokanatha Swami
• His Holiness Bhakti Purusottama Swami
• His Holiness Bhakti Gaurava Narayana Swami
• His Holiness Gauranga Prema Swami
• His Holiness Bhakti Nityananda Swami
• His Holiness Bhakti Vinoda Swami
• His Holiness Rama Govinda Swami
• His Grace Ananga Mohan Prabhu

And many more esteemed speakers, kirtan leaders and guests.

The highlights of the festival include but are not limited to hearing Krishna-katha from various speakers, who are well versed in the pastimes that take place in Sri Ksetra Dhama; taking darshan of the Lord of the Universe; honoring Lord Jagannatha’s maha prasadam; chanting and dancing while circumambulating the auspicious dhama and bathing in the ocean, all in the association of devotees – a sadhu-sanga of over 10,000 devotees!
