All Glories to Srila Prabhupada<\/p>\n

Srila Prabhup\u00e4da\u2019s vision for spreading the Sankirtana <\/i>Mission of Sri Caitanya Mah\u00e4prabhu encompassed four principles, or four waves, which he coined as the four-fold Gandhi movements <\/i>in his 1949 letter to the Honorable Sardar Dr. Vallavbhajee Patel, the Deputy Prime Minister to the Government of India in New Delhi. If one closely looks at how Srila Prabhup\u00e4da developed his International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) established ten years later in 1966, these same four principles were introduced during the following eleven years of Srila Prabhup\u00e4da\u2019s physical presence.

1. Sankirtana Movement : Introduced by Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu In the form of Congregational chanting of Hare Krishna Mahamantra and distribution of spiritual literature. <\/p>\n

2. Temple Worship Movement: By making temples all around the world and worshipping Lord Krishna with transcendental love and devotion in deity form.<\/p>\n

3. Spiritual Initiation Movement: This includes formal initiation of devotees in the chain of disciplic succession.<\/p>\n

4. Classless Society Movement: The fourth item is to organize the much discussed caste system as a solution of natural division of the human beings all over the world. Nationalistic division of human races is artificial but scientific division of the caste system as envisaged in the Bhagavad-Gita is natural.<\/p>\n

To commemorate this great event and following on the lines of Sankirtana movement, ISKCON Mangalore<\/b><\/i> celebrated ISKCON\u2019S Golden Jubilee festival in 2 broad realms:<\/p>\n
