Devotees around the world can now make offerings to Sri Gauranga in Mayapur on Gaura Purnima by visiting www.mayapur.com and joining the Gaura Purnima Offering of Service.
This facility has been especially set up for those who are unable to come for the festival itself. Devotees everywhere can participate as a sponsor at the level of their choice and enjoy the benefit of having a variety of sevas performed on their behalf.
Donations start at just $25 for offering a brass Lamp and include a variety of Kalash abhishek sponsorships for donations of $65 and more. In addition to the opportunity of offering personal service to Sri Gauranga, donors receive a packet of special gifts including their offered item, photographs, and other benefits according to the level of contribution.
For nearly 13 years now the festival has been funded exclusively by the donations from visiting devotees and supporters from around the world. This year through www.mayapur.com the opportunity for offering this service is extended to all devotees, friends and well-wishers of ISKCON around the world.
The web site also provides facilities for sponsoring prasadam meals for the devotees and pilgrims as well as other festivities.
Proceeds from these offerings are used to fund the Mayapur Gaura Purnima festival, providing the prasadam, seminars, entertainment and festivities for nearly 5000 devotees from all over the world as well as hundreds of thousands of visiting pilgrims.
