By the Global Office, ISKCON’s 50th Anniversary Celebrations
The Global Office for the 50th Anniversary Celebrations of ISKCON has appealed for volunteers who can serve on the International Team for this milestone event in the history of ISKCON.
“The celebrations are being planned across six continents in 75 countries, and are being organised by a team of volunteers,” explained Romapada Das, the International Coordinator for the 50th Anniversary. “But we need more volunteers to ensure that these festivities create the maximum impact around the world.”
The global celebrations for ISKCON’s 50th anniversary will be flagged off by mega-events in India and America that will track Srila Prabhupada’s epic journey on the Jaladuta from Kolkata to Boston in 1965. Other events being planned include festivals to celebrate or educate people about Vedic culture including music, food and yoga. Projects that will communicate ISKCON’s achievements in the last 50 years to stakeholder groups around the world include a 48-page colour publication, a special 50th anniversary movie, an international exhibition and a membership campaign.
