“Hare Krishna Dear Devotees,
To the pleasure of Sri Sri Radha Madhava, Guru and Gauranga we are happy to
announce that Bhaktivedanta Gita Academy (otherwise known as the Gita Study
Course in Mayapur) conducted a massive Japathon inviting all its devotees under
the guidance of HH Bhakti Vijaya Bhagavat Swami (Head, Sankirtana Department,
Mayapur) and HG Lakshmi Govinda Das (Head, Bhaktivedanta Gita Academy). The
devotees of the Gita Academy which has got various Pathachakras (Community
Gatherings) spread over West Bengal, took a Sankalpa(pledge) on the 17th April
2020 to chant 64 rounds Japa (which is equivalent to 1 Lakh names of the Lord)
each to commemorate the Auspicious Occasion of Varuthini Ekadasi by praying for
the safety, betterment, and healing of the society from the World Crisis of
COVID-19. According to the last report of 18th April, the total numbers who
successfully completed the Japa of 64 rounds were 1441 devotees! Inspired by
this initiative, devotees from across the world, participated on the same day,
from various major locations like Bangladesh, Middle East countries, so on so
forth numbering in 1178 devotees who chanted 64 rounds. What really encouraged
us was, that the non-devotees from various locations also participated with the
minimal rounds for the good cause too. We are further increasing the spreading
of the chanting of the holy names to every town and village organizing such
events inspiring every human to protect the society as well as the soul!”
Hope this meets the terms and conditions of the Website!
Wishing a Safe Health and KC Lives to the Hardworking Team of Dandavats.
Your Servant,
In Service of God and Mankind,
Jagannath Das
