By ISKCON 50 Global Office<\/strong><\/p>\n The Global Office of ISKCON\u2019s 50th anniversary has requested temples around the world to try and observe the fiftieth anniversary of two poems that Srila Prabhupada wrote on board the Jaladuta in September 1965.<\/p>\n Srila Prabhupada wrote the first poem, \u2018Prayer to the Lotus feet of Krishna\u2019 on 13th September 1965 on board the Jaladuta, and the second one, \u2018Markine Bhagavata Dharma\u2019 while the Jaladuta was docked at Boston Harbour on September 18th 1965.<\/p>\n While writing about the first poem, Srila Prabhupada mentions in his Jaladuta Diary: \u201cToday I have disclosed my mind to my companion Lord Sri Krishna. There is a Bengali poem made by me today in this connection.\u201d<\/p>\n To observe the 50th anniversary of these two poems, temples can do the following:<\/p>\n \u00b7 Announce the anniversary of the poem on the day (13th and 18th September) at Mangala Arati<\/p>\n \u00b7 Sing the song before Bhagavatam Class<\/p>\n \u00b7 Have a special morning class explaining the purport of the song on each of the two days<\/p>\n \u00b7 If possible, have a special evening programme inviting members of the congregation to join in singing the song, and having another class with senior devotees sharing their realisations<\/p>\n \u201cThese are very important compositions where Srila Prabhupada has revealed the mood in which he completely depended on Krishna before he visited America,\u201d said Romapada Das, International Coordinator for the 50th Anniversary. \u201cBy meditating on the purports of these two songs, we can appreciate Srila Prabhupada\u2019s prophetic journey on the Jaladuta even more. We would like to encourage temples around the world to base their morning and evening programmes on September 13th and 18th around these two poems. \u201d<\/p>\n Click here for the lyrics<\/a> Click here For more information please contact:<\/p>\n The ISKCON 50 Global Office: info@iskcon50.org<\/p>\n ISKCON 50 International Coordinator: romapada@iskcon50.org<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Global Office of ISKCON\u2019s 50th anniversary has requested temples around the world to try and observe the fiftieth anniversary of two poems that Srila Prabhupada wrote on board the Jaladuta in September 1965.
