Dear follower of Srila Prabhupada,<\/p>\n
Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!<\/p>\n
NOTE: This year a new team of devotees will be producing Srila Prabhupada’s Vyasa-puja book. Therefore please do not send your homage to Dravida Das at dravida108@gmail.com but rather to Ananda Tirtha Das at Ananda.Tirtha.pvs@pamho.net.<\/p>\n
Kindly submit your homage to Srila Prabhupada for his 2023 Vyasa-puja book by April 15. Given the team is new to this service, the deadline is non-negotiable.<\/p>\n
In addition, if you’re a direct disciple of Srila Prabhupada, please check out www.sptributes.com to learn about a Vyasa-puja book open to all his disciples. The deadline for submission to this book is also April 15.<\/p>\n
The standards for submitting a homage to the Vyasa-puja book are as follows:<\/p>\n
*Absolutely no homages will be accepted after April 15, 2023.*<\/p>\n
Homages must be in English.<\/p>\n
Please restrict the length to a maximum of 2,500 words.<\/p>\n
Do not “recycle” an homage – no homages from previous years will be accepted.<\/p>\n
The Vyasa-puja book is meant for glorifying Srila Prabhupada, not venting grievances. We reserve the right to reject an homage it deems inappropriate or to ask for a rewrite.<\/p>\n
When writing an homage on behalf of a temple or other unit, please try to write in such a way that the other devotees in your unit can also identify with the homage.<\/p>\n
1) Who may write a homage?<\/p>\n
a) Governing Body Commissioners<\/p>\n
b) GBC Emeriti<\/p>\n
c) ISKCON Sannyasis<\/p>\n
d) Authorized representatives of ISKCON temples, preaching centers, farms, gurukulas, BBT offices, ministries, and “others,” such as BTG magazine and ISCOWP (this is not a complete list). If there is some doubt, we will request you to send written authorization from your GBC representative.<\/p>\n
2) No multiple homages. For example, a temple should not enlist all its bhaktas to write homages under the temple heading. Joint authorship (2-4 devotees) of a single homage is fine.<\/p>\n
3) Please make sure you tell us where the homage originates. For example: New Vamsivata (the Madagascar farm community), NOT just New Vamsivata. If we don’t know where the homage comes from, we will not print it.<\/p>\n
4) If you’re quoting something Srila Prabhupada said or wrote, it has to be confirmed by the VedaBase. If we can’t find the quote in the VedaBase, we’ll omit it from the homage.<\/p>\n
5) Submit your homage by emailing it to Ananda Tirtha Dasa at Ananda.Tirtha.pvs@pamho.net.<\/p>\n
6) Homages may be submitted any time from now until April 15, 2023. We will confirm receipt of your homage by e-mail. If you do not receive a confirmation, resend it.<\/p>\n
7) We are not responsible for lost homages.<\/p>\n
Hoping this meets you well, we remain<\/p>\n
Your servants on the new Vyasa-puja book team,<\/p>\n
