By HH Bhakti Purusottama Swami<\/strong><\/p>\n The Mayapur Festival Committee is planning to celebrate Gaura Purnima 2008 \u2013 the 522nd Anniversary of Appearance Day of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, in a grand way. <\/p>\n Festival committee has come up with a colorful Gaura Purnima Festival brochure. The brochure contains two pages – One has all the festival details and the other has the sponsorship details.<\/p>\n Also the full details about Mayapur-Gaura Purnima Festival 2008 are posted at www.mayapur.com. <\/p>\n If you plan to visit Mayapur for Gaura Purnima 2008 festival, please write for guest house accommodation booking (as Guest House registration is already going on from 1st November) to MGHB@pamho.net.<\/p>\n During this festival, devotees will relish free prasadam provided by our festival sponsors. A yatra, a temple, a congregation or an individual devotee may sponsor prasadam for an entire day during the festival.<\/p>\n As the Festival Committee no longer charges festival fees, all aspects of the festival’s success depends upon devotees from all over the world donating generously. When a devotee donates for the festival in Sri Dham Mayapur, he serves the Vaisnava world in the most holy dham and thus receives a thousand times more devotional benefit than for a donation given elsewhere.<\/p>\n Sponsorship Details: <\/p>\n Choose your desired Seva and make your offering now! If you would like to sponsor only a part of the amount you may co-sponsor with someone.<\/p>\n Even if you are unable to come to Mayapur for Gaura Purnima Festival, you can still get great devotional benefit by sponsoring any of the following items for the pleasure of the Lord.<\/p>\n 1.
