Madhuha Dasa: Hare Krishna Matajis and Prabhus,
Please accept my respects. Srila Prabhupada Ki Jaya!
Festival of India is upgrading, and replacing some of our older equipment and exhibits.
Many of you saw the new Bhagavad-Gita Exhibit at a festival this year. We are offering the old Gita exhibit (prasadam exhibit) for sale, along with some other equipment we have. Everything listed below is used, but still in working condition.
We are trying to keep the Festival of India up to date with the best equipment, bright colored and new looking tents etc. That in mind, we’re selling/or requesting donations for the older equipment we plan on not using any more.
Bhagavad-Gita panel exhibit 11-3′ and 4′ x 6′ panels and the hardware to stand the exhibit. This exhibit has helped devotees distribute many tens of thousands of Srila Prabhupada’s Bhagavad-gitas. Suggested donation/price $2,500
2-30′ x 45′ tents with 4-colored tops. Yes, the tents are about 8 years old, the colors are faded, and have a few little holes–general wear and tear on tents. The frames are made from Anodized aluminum with steel corners and fittings. These tents cost about $5,900 each, new. We could just replace the tops for about $3,500 each, and throw away the old tops, but they are still usable–we used them at most of the festivals this 2016 summer festival season. The tent frames are good for 50 years if taken care of. If you need some big tents, here is an opportunity. This size tent (45′ x 60′ when both are used together) usually costs at least $2,000 to rent for a weekend. Suggested donation/price $3,500 each or best offer, or $5,750 for both (that is for both tent tops, and both tent frames).
Sound equipment:
1-Spirit by Soundcraft FX-16 rack mount mixer—Suggested donation/price $251
1-Yamaha MC-1204 table-top mixer—Suggested donation/price $251
2-BGW 750C power amps—Suggested donation/price $251 each
2-JBL 2-way passive crossover 15″ low end w/2″ throat driver horns in Harbinger Cabinets—Suggested donation/price $251 each
Please remember that 100% of what Festival of India receives for the above equipment is going to be used to purchase: two new tents; and new sound equipment that will be used at Ratha-yatras and Festivals of India all over North America.
Even if you do not need any of the above equipment, please send some contribution to Festival of India, knowing that these Festivals are helping to distribute Srila Prabhupada’s books, Krishna Prasadam, and are helping the devotees introduce the general public to Srila Prabhupada’s mission. Hare Krishna.
Over the next 6 months, Festival of India plans on doing the following:
1) purchasing a van to transport the young men who set up festivals–$45,000 needed
2) purchasing 2-30′ x 45′ new multi-colored tents–$12,347.86 needed
3) upgrading the sound system, with new & lighter equipment–$6,000 needed
If you think Ratha-yatras and large outdoor festivals are beneficial for the Sankirtan movement, please send your contribution today, or purchase some of Festival of India’s old equipment. In this way, your contribution & support will help the Festival of India to continue serving Srila Prabhupada’s temples all over North America. Hare Krishna.
