Proposal From The Temple of Vedic Planetarium (TOVP) Team

(This the 308 resolution from the Minutes Of The GBC Annual General Meeting at Sri Mayapur Dham, February 6 – 16, 2015, available here)

Whereas the GBC Body, recognizing the special priority personally expressed and emphasized by Srila Prabhupada in his words and writings to construct the TOVP, provided for the entire BBT Construction Fund to be contributed to the TOVP for a period of five years, which is now ending;

Whereas notwithstanding the launching of a full-time, world-wide Fund Raising Campaign, the TOVP’s very nature and magnitude is unprecedented in size and quality of materials and works—as specified by Srila Prabhupada—and in spite of the frugality of expenditure as evidenced by its accounts, remains in critical need of further funding to keep the construction going without interruption to prohibit any further increase in budget and delay, especially as it now enters the crucial finishing stages;

Whereas the following quotation is pertinent in this regard:

“Those who are trying their best to keep intact the flow of service to Sri Mayapur will be considered the benefactors of the future world of Vaishnavas.”

(Bhaktivinoda Thakur from Sajjana-Toshani 12/1)

RESOLVED:

That the GBC Body will ensure that 75% of the BBT Construction Fund goes to the TOVP for a further period of five years beyond 2015.
