All glories to Srila Prabhupada.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s starting this year: an annual Vyasa-puja book for Srila Prabhupada in which individual offerings from all of his disciples can be included. Though ISKCON&#8217;s official Vyasa-puja book began as just such a book, as the movement grew the book evolved in such a way that most of Srila Prabhupada&#8217;s disciples are no longer eligible to contribute.<\/p>\n<p>For this new book, on the other hand, all of his disciples will be welcome to write their individual offerings. <\/p>\n<p>* The book will give all of Srila Prabhupada&#8217;s disciples an opportunity to express their realizations.<br \/>\n* It will glorify Srila Prabhupada.<br \/>\n* It will provide an opportunity for all of his disciples to share in the common purpose of glorifying His Divine Grace.<\/p>\n<p>The book will accept offerings from everyone directly initiated by Srila Prabhupada, regardless of their personal history, present circumstances, personal views, or institutional affiliations.<\/p>\n<p>The book is not meant to replace ISKCON&#8217;s regular Vyasa-puja book; it is an additional offering.<\/p>\n<p>Behind the book is a &#8220;senior publishing committee&#8221; of three disciples of Srila Prabhupada, all involved in writing and publishing: Satyaraja Dasa, Ranchor Dasa, and Jayadvaita Swami.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;doers&#8221; for the book-the editors and publishing staff-are all second-generation devotees, either by birth or by having come to Krishna consciousness after Srila Prabhupada&#8217;s departure.<\/p>\n<p>Courtesy of sponsorships by generous devotees from South Africa, every disciple who submits an offering will receive a free copy of the book.<\/p>\n<p>The deadline for submitting an offering is 15th May 2010.
